East Meets West

About

This professional development programme offers photographers a unique opportunity to take part in presentations, portfolio reviews and advice sessions with leading professionals. The experience is immersive and provides an opportunity for practitioners to take the next step in their careers.

Fourteen participants from the 2019/2020 cohort are showcased at FORMAT21. Throughout the masterclass they have developed a body or bodies of work and refined existing works and series. It has been an enjoyable experience to see how each participant’s work and criticality has developed over this time, and to see how the group have come together to form a supportive network.

For FORMAT21 the participants’ work is exhibited as a digital showcase. We would like to thank this year’s exhibiting photographers for sharing their work with us and for being part of this year’s festival:

Emily Jones                          Mark Hobbs                           Nicola Morley
