LOCATION PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY
The way we work with light in an environment is dictated by
the subject and that space that surrounds it, as the subject
changes, so does the lighting.
In this two half-day workshop, we will explore the practical
considerations in making compelling portraits on location,
THOMAS JOHNSEN

variables this way of working entails. You will learn practical
skills to overcome the challenges or make the most of the
advantages a place can offer, and then utilise the resources
at hand to create portraits.
MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY

photography by working in close-up situations to simplify
and abstract what is in front of the camera. This two-day

MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME 30
MENTORSHIP PROGRAMME
Our mentorship programme grew out the feedback received from our graduates who wanted guidance as
they grow in their chosen discipline.
Our innovative mentorship programme allows mentees to determine the flow and shape of their individual
programme needs or want.
For photography, the mentorship can take the form of portfolio development aimed at a specific genre or
niche. Proposals can also include working towards a hosted exhibition at Orms CTSP.
A student enrolled in the cinematography department may want, for example, to further their Vfx skillset and
portfolio to secure more advanced freelance work.
This high customization makes precise scheduling difficult, yet the below is a guideline of what to expect.
At the core is the weekly meeting between mentor and mentee, where they discuss the progress of the work
and identify areas of growth. There are also six group crit sessions scheduled throughout the programme
where the mentee will have valuable input from your fellow students. Four full-day practical workshops are
arranged around the groups need and interest. For example, it could be an advanced studio workshop or a
specific printing technique explored for the photographers or a Fusion session with a VFX artist. Orms CTSP
supports the student with access to school facilities and staff other than the mentor.
The mentorship programme allows for space and time to advance work for both professional and personal
development.
Application Process:
The programme is open to the public, but the application requires that a portfolio is submitted. The portfolio
differs depending on the steam as follows:
For photography, this would be a selection of ten images that demonstrates your aesthetics and technical
skills.
For video and cinematography mentees, it is also a selection of your body of work in the form of content
developed or videos shot.
Lastly, both the photography and cinematography applications require a one-page proposal of what you
intend to achieve during your mentorship.
