A practical, informal session for 18-24 year olds on building a photography portfolio. It is led by London-based photographer, director and mentor James Pearson-Howes, who has over 20 years in the industry shooting for Nike, Adidas, Apple and Vogue. He shares lessons from his career, including what makes work stand out, how to approach clients and how to deal with rejection, self-doubt and creative blocks. Attendees send in three photographs in advance, which are printed so everyone can share and discuss work.
