Building your Portfolio to perfectly speak to your strengths as a photographer can be a royal pain the the backside. Let's face it, finding the right images and then assembling in the right flow between projects is equal parts art and science. It's not easy. The good news is that APA Chicago has invited Beth Huerta from <A HREF="(http://www.candacegelman.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Candace Gelman & Associates</A> to teach an exclusive workshop on best practices in Portfolio Development.
Along with her corporate career, Beth has worked as an adjunct professor in the photography programs at Drexel University and the University of the Arts. Two courses that Beth developed for Drexel, Production for Commercial Photographers and Portfolio Development, are now permanent requirements in the university’s BS in Photography curriculum. Beth brings serious academic know-how and street credibility to the process of building a killer portfolio.
In this workshop Beth will cover the following topics:
<UL>
<LI>What Constitutes an Effective Portfolio?</LI>
<LI>Identity and Cohesion</LI>
<LI>Knowing Your Audience</LI>
<LI>The Art and Science of Self Editing</LI>
</UL>
Beth will illustrate the above concepts by looking at artist portfolios from the Candace Gelman roster. By attending this APA event you can learn the skills necessary to take your portfolio to the next level.
If you would like to have your portfolio critiqued please send an email to Steven Brooks, director@apachicago.org.
