About this Event
This workshop was originally created as a response to female photographers not appearing to be entering photography awards in the same way or numbers as their male counterparts. The two hour workshop will help answer your questions on the benefits of entering photography awards, what are the best competitions, and how to select your images for submission. During the workshop you will have the opportunity to enter your images into a mock photography awards, where you will also experience being part of the judging process. In the lead up to International Women’s Day we aim to show that entering awards can help gain visibility for your work, improve confidence in your photographic practice, and assist your career progress. Please bring along as many of your single, series and project images as you wish in 6”x4” (A6/postcard) size only to take part. This is a FREE PhotoBook Cafe workshop presented by photographer Wendy Carrig in support of Women’s History month.
Wendy Carrig began her career documenting anti-war protests at Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp whilst still a photography student, and went on to forge a career working across fashion and celebrity portraiture. Her current practice crosses multi-genres with a focus mainly on women's stories and environmental concerns. She regularly submits work to major photography awards, and her work has been recognised including by the Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize, the Marilyn Stafford Award, Portrait of Britain, and with gold awards from the Association of Photographers. Wendy Carrig is a founding member of f22AOP women photographers, a group created to challenge gender disparity within the photographic industry. She is an Associate Lecturer in Photography at Oxford Brookes University.
