We’re pleased to bring back our much-loved “How to Be a Working Photographer” workshop with Emin Özmen and Cloé Kerhoas. For the first time in Paris, the duo will lead an in-person course aimed at demystifying the profession of photographer and providing you with concrete tools to help you become better prepared and equipped to take the next meaningful steps in your career.

Organized over three intensive days, the workshop combines hands-on talks, group portfolio reviews with Emin Özmen, and one-to-one consultation sessions with Cloé Kerhoas. You will leave the program with personalized advice on managing your workflow, organizing your archive professionally, creating compelling pitches, and seeking funding.

The group portfolio reviews with Emin will provide insightful feedback on how you build your stories, research and develop your projects, as well as guidance on improving your photography. The one-to-one session with Cloé Kerhoas will give you the opportunity to receive personalized feedback on funding applications, how you present yourself online, the pitches you’ve developed, and how to strengthen them.

"The combination of Emin and Cloé was just perfect. Both passionate about what they do and very sincere and gracious."
