Personal projects are labour of love that come from the makers’ vision. Oftentimes, they are developed through time and contain subjective perspectives that enable them to have unique qualities. But along the way, projects need fresh point of views that enrich them and hopefully make them more impactful when presented to the public.
Japanese photographer Hajime Kimura will lead a one-day workshop where he invites participants to bring in their photo and art-based projects and discuss different ways to edit them with fellow participants as well as the mentor. The projects can either be existing ones or future projects that are about to start.
Through this workshop, it is hoped that participants get to learn about other people’s thoughts on their work, and how they could contribute to fellow participants’ editing process. That way, participants may develop a different way of looking at their projects and build a source of inspiration.
