Photographing with Intention

press release: Aline Smithson will be offering 2 workshops which can be signed up for individually or together.

Photographing with Intention: September 23, 9:30-11:30 am

Join Aline Smithson for a workshop designed to help photographers create projects focused around an idea or concept and the articulation that surrounds the work. Participants will be exposed to genres of contemporary photography, projects created around ideas, and projects that tell personal stories.

Intended audience: beginning to mid-career photographers

This workshop is free and open to the public and does not require registration.

Presenting Your Work to the Fine Art Market: September 23, 1:30-4:30 PM

Equally important to creating a stellar and deeply considered body of work are all the elements that surround it: your bio, project statement, website and the understanding where and how to place the work.

This workshop will help demystify the fine art market with lectures on editions and pricing to presentation and installation. It will also be an honest look at how the roadmap to success has changed and the importance of taking charge of your career.

The goal is to not only increase your knowledge of the fine art arena, but to present yourself and your work in a meaningful way.

Participants will be asked to share 5 images from the same body of work as part of the workshop. Intended audience: mid-career artists who have created a body of work. Space is limited. Sign-up for Presenting Your Work to the Fine Art Market
