KEEPING YOUR VALUES AS AN ARTIST

In this webinar, artist Lucas Foglia shares a framework for building a career in photography. Using the metaphor of a tree, in which the roots are your values, the trunk is your project, and the branches are the ways of sharing with the world, he will help you grow your story. If you're trying to figure out how to turn serious work into a sustainable path, this workshop offers a direct and useful guide.
