The program includes four mentorship courses and a final competition for participants. After that, we will provide financial support of €8,000 to Ukrainian photographers who create projects related to the theme of war. First and foremost, we will support authors who do not have regular access to equipment and resources, giving them additional opportunities to continue their work.
Mentorship is a source of practical knowledge, ongoing support, and a personalized approach. From our own experience, we know that young photographers need comprehensive feedback, connection with industry peers, and recommendations, support, and motivation from someone with expertise.
Each of our mentors is a practitioner with extensive experience and a specific specialization. The mentorship is designed to help you grow and take the next steps in your career.
The time for group meetings is divided among all participants. The mentor will analyze the work, provide feedback, and offer recommendations for each participant's further development personally. In the group, you will be able to exchange thoughts with colleagues and learn from their experiences.
The curator will focus on the issues relevant to you: whether it's finding a theme, forming and working on long-term projects, or practical recommendations for working with images, your positioning, and career.
Mentorship will help you focus, analyze past work, and determine the next steps, while regular discussions will serve as a powerful motivation.
Online meetings on Zoom. Sessions take place once a week in groups of 5 to 8 participants.
