Securing Funding for Long-term Projects

Time was photographers could rely on assignments to support our careers. That is no longer the case. Photographers now have to craft a more dimensional business approach that includes multiple sources of income, media and outcomes. One critical piece of this approach can be receiving grants to support more significant projects.

Mike Davis, Alexia Tsairis Chair for Documentary Photography at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School and Adriana Teresa Letorney, Founder, CEO & Creative Director of Visura.co. will offer insight to what makes an applicant standout and mistakes to avoid when applying for funding.

Joining Davis and Letorney will be independent photographer Carey Wagner who will share her experiences along the path of funding meaningful projects, including how to fully execute granted projects and make them achieve their potential.
