WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A SUCCESSFUL PHOTOGRAPHER? THE PITCH

This workshop looks at all aspects that play a role in being successful as a photographer and entrepreneur: doing good research, photographing, marketing, networking, negotiating, making/reading contracts and organising yourself.

A successful photographer is not only someone who is visually trained and has a knack for finding and developing great visual stories. A successful photographer is also someone who knows how to put their work in context, argue the importance of their work, market themselves, ...

In this presentation Evelien Kunst will touch upon all those aspects that you need to consider when running your business.
