Once we have created our images, the next step is to share, publish and exhibit them. But if you thought the capture, processing, editing and evaluation of your images was a handful, wait until you decide to present them to the world. A whole different set of conditions arise and once again you are at the start of a new adventure. This workshop is therefore devoted to supporting you as you get your images seen, engaged with, and discussed, especially as physical prints, books, objects or installations.
Images are printed, mounted, signed, framed, and packaged. They are sequenced, hung, lit, discussed and written about. You will work in the context of other artists, master printers, framers, curators, writers and reviewers. This practical experience is designed to help you professionally and with confidence to prepare, present and support your own work, while also helping you avoid unwanted commercial and artistic complications. It is also about how to embed and contextualise your work, how to talk about it and protect it both literally and emotionally, while having it represent you to the best of your ability. Our LIVE Tutorials can then answer all your questions and address your individual circumstances to ensure you are a more informed, assured and articulate exhibiting artist.

What are the differences between the Understanding Pictures, Exhibition Preparation and Thinking Photography workshops? Our Understanding Pictures workshop concentrates on Pictorial Design and the construction of pictures for enhanced aesthetic affect. Exhibition Preparation focuses on the refinement of images for public presentation in galleries, publications and online. Thinking Photography refines the scholarship and rationale underlying both the construction and presentation of images. Therefore these workshops effectively address the What, How and Why of research based contemporary artistic practice’s creative and cultural contributions.
