Achieving Your Potential as a Digital Photographer
A Multi-Modal Ongoing Six-Month Workshop with Harold Davis
Overview: A unique, structured and ongoing workshop opportunity to overcome resistance and become the best artist and photographer you can be, under the guidance of one of today’s premier working photographers and bestselling author Harold Davis.
When: Beginning March 15 and 16, 2014, and ongoing thereafter (see workshop description)
What: This workshop presents a unique opportunity for mentoring by Harold Davis in the context of a supportive group environment. Each participant will conclude the workshop with a completed project such as a book, portfolio, or planned exhibition.
Harold states, “I am very fortunate to have met some extremely advanced photographers in my workshops and through my books. But many of these individuals are stuck and have not been able to move ahead. If this sounds like you, I believe I can provide you with the tools and structure to help take you to the next level.”
This workshop provides a platform for ongoing mentoring. Customized individual assignments will be given. After the initial intensive two-day in-person session, we will keep in touch with monthly private group online webinars and individual phone or email consultations. A final dinner to review work and celebrate our progress will be provided at the conclusion of the workshop.
Who this workshop is for: Advanced amateur and semi-pro photographers who want to take their work to the next level, either as a means to make money, or simply for personal satisfaction.
Suggested Reading and Curriculum: A reading list and curriculum will be provided to participants in advance of the workshop. There will be a pre-workshop assignment.
