Publishing in the Arts Sector

Since 2017 I’ve worked on print projects from simple zines to hardcover photobooks with a variety of clients. I will answer your questions, lead you through the process, and provide connections for design and printing. We will review your goals and expectations and I’ll share what I’ve learned along the way to transform your ideas into something tangible. We can focus on getting started and the logistics of how to bring a print project to life and I can also offer a collaborative approach to image editing, sequencing and pairing to improve the strength of your print project. I’ll help you refine your point of view and guide you in the process of putting your idea out into the world.

Artistic Career Development

Whether you are just getting started with photography or are already pursuing a career, let me help you build confidence and navigate the sometimes intimidating fine art world. We’ll review best practices, ways to hone your skills and artistic voice, and how to find and approach opportunities such as: open calls, photo contests, portfolio reviews, and exhibitions. Let me help you push beyond  your comfort zone and go after what you want, no matter how ambitious.

Curation

I will use my extensive experience both curating exhibitions and participating in them to help you conceive of your work in a physical 3D space. We will review the required preparation for group and individual shows. This includes curating a selection of images that tells an impactful story on the wall, and the sequence and presentation of those images. I will advise you on the details of executing the prints down to image size and resolution to paper choice and printing resources and timeline. We will discuss framing and the pros and cons of investing in different presentation options. Let me help you make the most of opportunities to get your work seen!

Text

I’ll support you in figuring out the best way to write about yourself, your work, and your ideas in the form of an artist statement, project description, exhibition description or proposal, or application. We’ll work together to craft clear, impactful text that enhances your visual work. The goal is to make sure your unique voice comes through while articulating your ideas in a professional and succinct manner.

Portfolio Review

With a focus on projects shot on film, I will provide feedback and constructive critique of an ongoing or completed body of work. I will consider the concept and technical execution, overall sequencing and presentation, and give specific guidance on ways to move forward down to film and camera choice, subject and composition. We will review your goals and prepare you for reviews, workshops, and more formal critiques.

Creative Direction

Let’s work together to identify and hone your artistic voice. We can discuss and develop a more general direction for multiple projects and your creative practice, or get into the details of a particular idea.
