HOW TO COMMUNICATE WITH PHOTOGRAPHY?
ONLINE COURSE
WITH ERIK KESSELS
FROM MARCH 3RD, 2021
PROMO EARLY BIRD UNTIL FEBRUARY 10TH, 2021
THE COURSE
Photographers are very good in the images they make but often lack the ability to communicate about them and themselves as artists. Being the author or the promoter of your work are two completely different skills.
During this workshop, Kessels will be interacting with the participants how to better edit, present and communicate about your own work towards clients, galleries, curators and museums. Apart from this, there will be also an inside into his personal way of working.
Over a period of several online meetings, Erik Kessels will prepare the participants for their possibilities and obstructions they will face in their professional career in the field of photography. Participants work on several small briefs to get more known to this facet of photography. On a more practical note, preparations for budgets, job processes and decision making will pass by in the lessons.
TOPICS
- Communication skills about yourself
- Communication skills about your work
- Contextual statement
- Potential outcomes of projects
- Professional skills: budgets, job processes, decision making
