Elevate Your Photographic Practice to the Next Level with a One-Day Intensive Photography WorkshopFollowing on from the success of their inaugural workshop, photographer Simon Roberts and gallerist Richard Kalman are once again opening up for a day of practical, hands-on, tailored advice for photographers looking to take the next steps with their photographic projects.
This focused, one-day course is ideal for photographers looking for insight, feedback and guidance on an on-going body of work and helping to get it ready for possible exhibition presentation, gallery submission or publishing proposal.
Drawing on more than 40 years of combined experience across the gallery, publishing and professional photography worlds, Simon and Richard will offer guidance on creative direction, project development, editing, and how to position your work within today’s fine-art landscape. The day will help you refine your vision and build a credible path toward presentation with insights from two industry veterans with deep expertise.
Participants are encouraged to bring working prints or simple digital proofs for use in practical exercises, sequencing sessions, and group critique.
The day will include:
• An opening overview on the current fine-art photography landscape, with insights from both the artist and gallerist perspective.
• Participant project reviews, with feedback from Simon, Richard, and the group, including hands-on editing and sequencing exercises
• Professional guidance on approaching galleries and publishers, understanding what they look for, and how to present your work with confidence.
You’ll leave with:
·A clearer, more refined edit of your project
·A stronger understanding of its direction and potential
·Actionable advice on taking your next steps toward exhibition, publication or portfolio growth.
