What happens when you stop chasing individual photographs and start creating a body of work? Personal projects are one of the most powerful ways to improve your craft, develop your photographic voice and vision, expand your creativity, and create images with lasting meaning. Whether your working with simple projects or something more ambitious be it short-term or years in the making, we’ll be talking about how to find ideas worth pursuing, organize and structure your work, sustain momentum, and how to embrace projects that evolve over time. We will be looking at examples, talking practical strategies, and recalling lessons learned from years of project-based photography. In our conversation, you’ll gain some tools and techniques for turning simple curiosities into a cohesive body of work. Whether you’re beginning your first personal project or refining an existing one, you’ll leave with fresh inspiration and practical ideas for creating work that are uniquely your own<\/p>\n\n\n\n
