PRESENTING YOUR WORK

In our digital age, a photographer’s website is an essential platform for showcasing their work and career trajectory. Websites provide insight and context about your creative process and practice to potential audiences. Ensuring your website is easily digestible, informative, and aesthetically engaging is critical for making a strong first impression.

In this workshop, we will discuss best practices for organizing your website’s content and explore compelling strategies for sharing work and written materials with a digital audience. Using the website as our framework, we will examine how to effectively present your work while also discussing aspects of your artistic practice and career that extend beyond the online platform, such as:

• Writing artist statements, bios, and CVs

• Sharing both personal and commercial projects

• Editing a selection of photographs to best encapsulate a body of work’s essence

• Providing context through exhibition installation views, project descriptions, and related content

Ample time for Q&A will be left at the end of the workshop, providing an opportunity for participants to ask questions related to digital engagement, as well as career development from the perspective of a seasoned curator and writer.
