Description

Thanks to the ongoing success of our partnership with renowned photography agency Magnum Photos, we’re offering photographers in the IdeasTap community another career-changing opportunity.

We’ve got 10 heavily subsidised places to give away on Magnum’s next two-day Professional Practice seminar at Central St Martins, London, on 12 and 13 May. This opportunity is available to IdeasTap members between the ages of 16 and 25.

With an emphasis on providing practical and vocational guidance to emerging photographers, this is an unmissable opportunity to gain tailor-made, impartial advice from specialists at the top of their profession.

 

Confirmed speakers for the London seminar include:

  • Olivia Arthur – Magnum photographer (watch IdeasMag's interview with her)
  • Sophie Batterbury – Picture Editor, The Independent on Sunday
  • Fiona Rogers – Cultural & Education Manager, Magnum Photos
  • Stuart Smith – Smith Design
  • Sophie Wright – Cultural Director, Magnum Photos
  • Sophie Chapman-Andrews – Head of Art Buying, McCann Erickson
  • Paula James – Archive Sales Manager, Panos Pictures

 

To find out more about the speakers, click here.

These seminars are always massively oversubscribed and photographers usually pay £250+VAT to attend. Not only will 10 IdeasTap members jump the queue, they’ll also pay just £50+VAT.

The seminar will take place at Central St Martins College of Arts and Design, Kings Cross Campus, Granary Building, 1 Granary Square, London, N1C 4AA.

To apply you’ll need to upload five photos to your IdeasTap portfolio and explain, in 100 words or less, how your career would benefit from this opportunity. 

If you are ineligible for a bursary, you can apply for a full-price place on the seminar.

 

This brief closes on Thursday 26 April at 5pm and is open to IdeasTap members aged 16 to 25 who based in the UK. Late entries will not be accepted under any circumstances, including technical issues – so make sure you don’t leave your application to the last minute. If you have technical issues, email info@ideastap.com.

  • I would definitely recommend this. I attended the Birmingham seminars and found them really useful. You get to meet a great variety of people within the industry who are already established. I successfully gained the bursary place, however my husband was over the 25 age and paid the price. We would both agree that it was worth the money as you gain practical knowledge that I was unaware of even though I have a university degree in Visual Communication.

  • Hi all,

    I'm sorry to hear that you are unable to apply for this brief. It's not our intention to exclude anyone but our main aim at IdeasTap is to support emerging practitioners, specifically those that are aged 16 to 25/30. Most (not all) of our briefs have an age limit to make sure that we are doing this and this brief is no different.

    You might be interested in applying for a full-price place, though: http://www.ideastap.com/magnum-professional-practice

  • I agree with earlier comments: it's a shame this opportunity is not available to those over 25 - why is this?

  • I would love this opportunity but I'm 27. Why are you capping it 25?
