Lightbox2012

Redeye’s Lightbox aims to launch the careers of some of the UK’s most promising photographers through workshops, networking, participation and presentation as many photographers are talented but fewer are equipped with what it takes to get their work noticed.

The first stage of Redeye Lightbox2012 will be an intensive week of workshops, case studies and networking opportunities. Based at Instituto Cervantes, Manchester from 17-21 September 2012, the programme will include:

• Guidance and support by a range of experts from the world of photography, the arts and creative industries
• The changing nature of professional photography and photographic art Case studies and information on new digital possibilities, web and print publishing, exhibiting, marketing, publicising and launching your project
• Networking opportunities with gallery directors, publishers, and other facilitators
• A platform for “resource partners” – owners or managers of appropriate resources which may be made available for the Lightbox 2 projects (E.g. public spaces, screens or publishers)

A few comments from previous Lightbox participants:

“…I felt more inspired by it than I had been by any other educational/cultural event I’ve had an opportunity to participate in over the last few years. It really demystified so many areas of photographic practice and of the institutions behind it for me…”

“…It was fantastic, extremely well managed and the speakers were great. I came away buzzing and the week will definitely change my photographic life from a thinking, marketing and tackling ways to get my work shown…”

“…I really enjoyed the week and was blown away by the quality of the speakers and the amount that was packed into the course. I would thoroughly recommend it to other photographers if you ran it again…”

“…I have just finished a photography degree and although we did a module that was supposed to prepare us for life after University I feel that Lightbox has really been something I needed at this time…”
