In this two-hour interactive workshop, Calgary-based commercial and portrait photographer Jeremy Fokkens shares how concepts evolve into photographic projects. Through a short presentation and guided workshop, participants will explore the creative process behind developing conceptual ideas, building personal and long-term projects, and turning ideas into photographs.
The first part of the session features a visual presentation of Jeremy’s work and inspirations, offering insight into how ideas are developed in the commercial and editorial world, as well as within personal projects. He will walk through how each project progressed from a simple concept to the final images, and feature behind the scenes production.
The second half shifts into a collaborative workshop where participants will work individually and in small groups with other photographers to brainstorm and develop their own ideas. Through guided exercises and creative prompts, attendees will explore ways to build concepts, think more intentionally, work with and without creative constraints, and gain confidence moving ideas into images.
