This four-month Lab is for photographers who are ready to commit to a project, whether that means beginning something new or finally moving something forward that has been waiting for your attention. We’ll meet twice a month online for focused group sessions centred on close-looking, critique and narrative development. Participants will also be paired into small peer pods to maintain accountability and dialogue between sessions.

Includes:

• eight online group sessions
• four Brighton studio weekends
• guest artist sessions
• peer critique and feedback
• final exhibition at POST Creatives
• inclusion in the digital publication

For those who aren’t ready to commit to the four-month Lab, the Brighton Lab Weekender offers a concentrated entry point into the same ideas and working methods. Held at POST Creatives in Brighton, these weekends are designed as focused intensives where photographers can step away from the noise of everyday life and give their work serious attention.

Includes:

• two intensive studio days
• editing and sequencing sessions
• guest artist conversations
• small group critique & field assignments
