 3-hour online workshop is designed for photographers with an ongoing, near-complete, or completed project who want to better understand how to position their work within the professional photography ecosystem.

Participants should provide ahead of the workshop:

  • A PDF portfolio

  • A bio

  • A short project description

  • This online workshop is designed for photographers with an ongoing, near-complete, or completed project who want to better understand how to position their work within the professional photography ecosystem.

    Rather than focusing on editing or portfolio development, the workshop looks at the life of a photographic project beyond production: how it circulates, how it is perceived, and how opportunities around it are developed.

    During the workshop we will explore:

    • How to position a project for publications, exhibitions, and awards

    • The roles of festivals, fairs, institutions, and media

    • Clarifying a project’s narrative, strengths, and intended audience

    • Developing a realistic visibility and opportunity strategy

    • Defining clear next steps for the project

  • The workshop is structured in sequences of presentation → exercise → group feedback.


    After each short presentation, participants complete a focused exercise applied to their own project (writing, mapping opportunities, structuring a working document), then briefly present their work for discussion.
    Throughout the session, participants actively build and organize their material into a practical document they can continue using after the workshop.

    Participants should also have access to a spreadsheet tool (Google Docs, Sheets, or equivalent) to actively work during the session.

  • Participants will leave with:

    • A clearer sense of where their work sits within the photographic ecosystem

    • A practical way of thinking strategically about opportunities

    • Concrete next steps tailored to their project

    • Tools they can continue using beyond the workshop
