Purposeful Photography
Improving your photography through the Purposeful Photography Portfolio Project
What Is Purposeful Photography
Purposeful Photography is defined as easy as shooting with a purpose. A purposeful photograph starts with realizing that you are not realizing your full potential as a photographer. So, how do you move from just shooting pictures (usually alot) to shooting with a PURPOSE?
The Artists Statement
Artists Statements are usually reserved for artists (even photographers) who are asked to exhibit in galleries or enter a specialized competition. The Purposeful Photography Portfolio Project begins with both choosing a project and then writing an artists statement (don’t worry, we’ll walk you through the entire process).
Choosing A Portfolio Project
Basically the idea here is to choose a specific project. This is a project you’ll commit to working on for about 10 months. You can choose something that really intrigues you, or something totally off the wall. We’ll help you drill down to a perfect project for you. Usually you end up with more than one!
Refining Your Portfolio (Improving Your Photography)
Here’s where the hardest work is. You will be fitted with a handful of other photographers. You’ll meet about once a month for several hours (2-3). Each photographer will display their current portfolio and talk about their artists statement. But wait, there’s more….
