In this introductory session, learn how to navigate the difficult task of balancing a fine art practice alongside a commercial photography practice. Discussion will cover strategies for sustaining a lifelong art practice, alongside general nuts-and-bolts of running a commercial photography practice, with a focus on how these two can support one another. A more in-depth session will follow for those interested in deepening their knowledge and growing their toolkit.
