From Portfolio to Publication: Standing Out Without Compromising Your Creative Vision

In our next episode, APA board member, Karen Haberberg sits down with Brooklyn-based photographer, educator, and former photo editor for The New Yorker and Vice Media, Elizabeth Renstrom.

They'll be breaking down the wall between artistic vision and editorial reality to give you the insider a blueprint for standing out. Karen and Elizabeth will discuss what editors actually want, portfolio mistakes to avoid, and how to capture an audience's attention while staying unapologetically true to your craft.
