The Power of Presentation
You have worked hard to create a body of work you are proud of and you want to know what to do next. The Power of Presentation is designed to help you understand and prepare for showing your work to galleries and museums.
Areas to be covered include
- Preparing your portfolio
- How to talk about your work
- Doing your homework and picking the right people and places to take your work
The Power of Presentation will also look at the current art market and help you understand how galleries and museums plan their exhibitions. What are the factors that go into choosing work for exhibition? From editing your work, setting your goals and understanding what to expect and how to behave, this is an opportunity to learn and grow as a photographer.
