EDITING & SEQUENCING WORKSHOP
WHEN: FALL 2021
HOW: Pre-registration is required – more details below
Elevate your body of work and develop strategies for placing it into the public eye in this two-day workshop dedicated to photographers and collectors who wish to broaden their audiences. The backdrop to this immersive photographic discourse is the incomparable Santa Fe, New Mexico where many photo and art galleries exist and the home of the Review Santa Fe Photo Festival.
This workshop offers the perspective of curators, editors, publishers, and other industry professionals. Attendees will learn what to expect at the review table, know about review etiquette and questions to ask to ensure reviewees’ needs are met in all reviews. We will discuss the elevator speech, “leave-behinds” and what kind of material to leave with reviewers. Editing and sequencing is an important piece of the portfolio review. There will be individual discussions on the importance of tailoring a body of work to different types of opportunities from gallery and museum exhibitions to print publications and books. We will discuss also bringing multiple portfolios. This workshop also includes an individual portfolio editing and sequencing session and an opportunity to identify outreach strategies for your work.
HOW TO PREPARE
We recommend having at least 20 images and upwards of 35 to edit and sequence for your projects if you are looking for work-in-progress feedback. Please print out the images and put them in a portfolio box. You may bring additional images or projects on your iPad or laptop for additional viewing. If you would like feedback on a completed and printed book, please bring 2 or more copies for ease of viewing. Some of the preparation may need to be discussed in advance of the workshop so that the reviewees can have enough time to implement a change in a practice or marketing material.
