Organizing & Preparing Images for Submission 1W23 (Online!)
In this workshop, Erik will discuss how to streamline your workflow as you prepare images of your artwork for submission to exhibitions and contests, so that you are putting your best foot forward and maximizing your success rate.
Topics will include a discussion of file types, how best to organize your catalog, strategies for applying to calls, image resolution and size, and the resizing of images using various programs, with the goal being to make the application process as modular and replicable as possible.

I registered for this class because I wanted to take the leap back to where I left off with photography and start aiming for the next level. Erik shared valuable insights, and I particularly appreciated how he showed us his own professional organizational structure using his own actual files / folders. He also shared his own experiences and lessons he'd learned throughout his career. This class helped me feel that maybe I will start to enter some work in some local shows. Can't hurt to try! I was also inspired to get back out there with my camera and pick up where I left off, and start creating a body of artistic work. This was a great class in every way.
