Image Threads is excited to announce a new free mentorship program. For this initiative, the collective members as well as other participating photographers and bookmakers will be making themselves available to those looking for periodic dialogue and critique on an ongoing body of photographic work intended for book form. Mentoring is free of charge and will take place virtually on a bi-weekly basis, over the course of 2-3 months (a more precise schedule will be determined by each mentor and participant.) As the program is being conducted on a volunteer basis, each mentor will be selecting a limited number of projects—those we feel are best-suited to the format and to our mentors’ respective areas of expertise. In the spirit of Image Threads’ mission, preference will be given to individuals without access to comparable educational opportunities.
Application requirements:
–Short bio (please include any prior photographic education), Max. 1500 characters
–Project statement, Max. 1500 characters
–A description of what you would like to get out of the program, Max. 1500 characters
–A link to a folder with up to 20 images (JPG) of your current work
