This three-part work­shop is for any pho­tog­ra­ph­er who wants to learn how to write bet­ter grant pro­pos­als to sup­port per­son­al work and long-term projects.

The VII Academy is offer­ing schol­ar­ships for four stu­dents to attend this work­shop, in which par­tic­i­pants will work on indi­vid­ual projects that will be con­ceived and exe­cut­ed for online pre­sen­ta­tion under the guid­ance of Espen Rasmussen.

The VII Academy is pro­vid­ing two schol­ar­ships for stu­dents to attend this three-part work­shop, which is for any pho­tog­ra­ph­er who wants to learn how to write bet­ter grant pro­pos­als to sup­port per­son­al work and long term projects.

The VII Academy is pleased to sup­port four stu­dents with schol­ar­ships to attend this women-only work­shop, which focus­es on cul­ti­vat­ing your own authen­tic voice through nar­ra­tive and doc­u­men­tary prac­tice. From idea to pub­li­ca­tion, par­tic­i­pants will work on per­son­al pho­to­graph­ic projects that will be reviewed and cri­tiqued in an inter­ac­tive online envi­ron­ment by Nichole and Anush over a 10-week peri­od.

The VII Academy is pleased to offer schol­ar­ships to this work­shop, which is designed to help pho­tog­ra­phers and visu­al sto­ry­tellers under­stand the impor­tance of cre­at­ing a strong visu­al brand and iden­ti­ty. Each par­tic­i­pant will be able to leave this work­shop with a new web­site design and social media pres­ence. It’s geared to indi­vid­u­als inter­est­ed in under­stand­ing and improv­ing their brand vis­i­bil­i­ty whether in print­ed or dig­i­tal form.

This work­shop for women focus­es on iden­ti­ty through per­son­al and sub­jec­tive nar­ra­tives. Participants will work on per­son­al pho­to­graph­ic projects that will be reviewed and cri­tiqued in an inter­ac­tive online envi­ron­ment by Linda Bournane Engelberth over a 14-week peri­od.

The Masterclass–which meets online–addresses the crit­i­cal peri­od between the last phase of a pho­to­graph­ic project and the moment when you decide to look for a pub­lish­er. In oth­er words, the peri­od when you need to exer­cise the author’s author­i­ty but still want to lis­ten to those with expe­ri­ence in mak­ing books. It aims to define a book that trans­mits the author’s nar­ra­tive to the view­er and is in itself an ade­quate three-dimensional rep­re­sen­ta­tion of con­tent and propo­si­tion.

The VII Masterclass is one of the most ambi­tious and exhaus­tive train­ing pro­grams avail­able. It aims to devel­op and con­sol­i­date new tal­ent in doc­u­men­tary pho­tog­ra­phy and pho­to­jour­nal­ism over a peri­od of three months. It is struc­tured around three sem­i­nars with work­shop ses­sions and mul­ti­ple one-on-one inter­ac­tions woven in between. The prin­ci­pal objec­tive of this Masterclass is to allow time for progress to devel­op, and for the long-term struc­ture to have a last­ing con­tri­bu­tion to your pro­fes­sion­al train­ing.

The goal of this work­shop, which will meet online, is to help you build a Passion Project–a long term project around an issue you are per­son­al­ly pas­sion­ate about. It will help you cre­ate a struc­ture to devel­op the project, teach you skills to make the con­tacts and net­work that would be nec­es­sary to car­ry out your plan, and over 6 months pro­vide feed­back and sup­port to accom­plish your goals as you work on your project.

This is a work­shop about the emo­tion­al and sub-conscious con­tent of photos–about how to make pho­tos that come from that place, and that help tru­ly define your own voice as a pho­tog­ra­ph­er.

This 6-day work­shop will give you the oppor­tu­ni­ty to learn how to tell visu­al sto­ries about the human con­di­tion.
