PRESENTATION: ART OF THE PROJECT
Let’s say you’re pretty good photographer and want to move up a notch. One way to help you to that is to start a photography project.

A photography project is an organized body of material, shot over a period from days to decades, consistent in quality, fiidelity to the purpose, and in certain aspects of style.

Working on a project has a number of benefits for you, the photographer. 1. It keeps your energy up 2. It encourages you to develop greater technical and artistic skills 3. It requires you to sort the sheep from the goats — you can only have a limited number in your project, but you may have shot thousands of images that might qualify. This forces you to think about your work in a new way and with greater objectivity than you may have had before.

Eric will help you choose a subject, set goals, and give you some tips on organizing material. We’ll look at three of his own projects. With luck, yiou’ll leave with something new to help you grow.
