Life as a freelance photographer often means you’re not shooting exactly what or as often as you’d like. Personal projects are a great way to fill this time and fulfill yourself creatively. And they can also help generate the work you wish you were doing. In this seminar, award-winning celebrity and editorial photographer Chris Sorensen will talk about how he has used personal projects to build his career and refine his creative process.
Chris presented this event in-person at our recent week-long event at Soho Photo Gallery, and it was so fantastic we immediately wanted to offer it again on Zoom so that more of you could see it. It is, quite possibly, the finest talk on personal projects we’ve seen!
In addition to showing you the images from his personal projects, Chris delves into his intentions and goals, his process, and the tangible results achieved. This talk is a must-see!
