Arik Gorban – “Creating a Personal Photography Project”

One of the best ways to get creative, develop your photography, and

share your pictures is by working on a personal photography project. It’s a great way to keep yourself inspired and produce pictures that express your interpretation of the scenes and subjects that you’re passionate about. Unlike photographing and sharing individual images, a project allows you to create a consistent body of work that builds up an idea or a story.

In this presentation, Arik discusses the elements of a photography project and how to embark on one, whether it’s a day-long project or one that takes weeks or months to complete. The presentation covers the steps from ideation all the way to project completion with a collection of images that can be used in a book, a presentation, and/or a photo exhibit. Arik shares the actual project plans of two of his photography projects and discusses how the plans evolved from the initial ideas to detailed project definitions, once each project started.
