Global Photography Project

Video Introduction

The VASA Global Photography Project (GPP) is designed to bring you together with other photographers from diverse international locations into small online working groups that bridge culture, language, custom, and geography using various internet-based social networking tools.

In addition to developing your skills and vision in photography, you will be engaged in a multicultural creative environment as you work with your fellow team members to create a collaborative online photography exhibit around a conceptual theme.

Your work will then be reviewed by Stephen Perloff, founder and editor of The Photo Review and editor of The Photograph Collector, for possible inclusion into a juried online international exhibition.

Benefits

As a participant, you will:

    • Be a part of an international team of 6-10 photographers.
    • Work with other artists who share your passion for photography in order to develop a collaborative online photography exhibit which will be part of the VASA exhibition program, which over 5000 people will have access to.
    • Be mentored and supported, as a team, by a VASA faculty-member throughout the process.
    • Be challenged to take your art to the next level by your fellow team-members and your mentor.
    • Have your team's work carefully reviewed by Stephen Perloff (biography), who will be curating a juried exhibition of selected works from all the teams' final exhibits.The juried exhibition will be posted to the VASA Exhibition site and promoted through Incamera, VASA's newsletter.

Expectations

As a participant, you will be expected to:

    • Remain committed to the project and your team for the entire 10-week session.
    • Contribute often to the team's collaborative work in ongoing discussions and with new photographs that you take each week specifically for the project according to the theme.
    • Use the structure and tools provided by VASA, such as WordPress, to work with your team and display your final exhibition.
    • Although you will retain exclusive Copyright to your work (written, photographic, video, etc.), you will be expected to grant permission to VASA to display your work (credited with your name) on its website, newsletters, etc. In addition, it is important that you understand that anything you publish to your team's WordPress site will be public on the web.
