Traditionally, senior seminar classes cover the standard practices of being a professional artist. This talk will introduce additional material that students need to survive the modern photographic economy, including owning their own studio, finding photographic jobs, making client-driven work, and employment as a photographer. We will discuss expanding professional practice classes to include interviewing skills, advanced portfolio development, networking, business writing, and entrepreneurship. As part of this presentation, I will introduce methods to combine both artistic and commercial approaches in order to elevate our industry with better thinkers and to create opportunities for beginning artists.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
