A seminar in multimedia storytelling
It may be one of the toughest times ever to be a photographer but it’s also one of the most creatively exciting. The web has offered a multitude of exciting possibilities for getting photography out to new and ever increasing audiences but many photographers in the UK remain in the dark.
Creating a digital voice for your work might not be the magic bullet for your career but without one the decline could be terminal.
Advertising agencies, galleries, newspapers, broadcasters are all thinking about one thing. How do we reach more people in deeper and more powerful ways? Photographers who want to thrive need to be asking the same question and coming up with some of the answers.
Photography Still Moving will explore just how still photographers from all disciplines can make the leap to digital storytelling. We’ll show you the tools you need, as well as sharing how you can make money from multimedia.
One lucky participant who submits a set of pictures in advance will also have their work transformed into a multimedia feature on the day.
