KINGSIZE & NZIPP 2015 SCHOLARSHIP

 

Kingsize is thrilled to partner with the NZIPP for the creation of the new Kingsize Studios & NZIPP 2015 Scholarship: designed to help individuals evolve their technical skills, creative ambitions and business plans. Over the past three years the Kingsize Scholarship has provided support and training to 40 photographers who are emerging or progressing in their careers.

This new Scholarship is for NZIPP members who are ready to take their photography and their career to the next level. We look forward to working with photographers who are creating World class wedding and portrait work.

We are seeking highly motivated individuals who are NZIPP members to submit their applications no later than 10:30am Monday August 10th to learn@kingsize.co.nz.

The program will be run through September, October, November 2015 based at Kingsize Studios in Auckland.

Numbers are limited to 1x emerging / student / assistant member, and 2x full members. This program will be highly personalised to the applicant’s specific needs, while working in a group environment.
We particularly are looking for people wanting to transform themselves and their businesses; or who want to progress with their creative style, process, or commercial ideas.

The first 2 months are focused on learning, while the 3rd month will facilitate the development of a new portfolio or body of work through intensive studio time (including shooting opportunities on location) The timing of the scholarship is also designed to prepare photographers for the summer season if this is relevant. Those working with video and stills are very welcome to apply. There will be a strong emphasis on the development of studio and location lighting technique, technical professional practice, and the application of styles and processes drawn from the fashion, advertising, and commercial industry. We recognise the rapidly shifting realities, and want to help you evolve with these changes.

The 2015 Kingsize NZIPP Scholarship is a very involved 12 week programme. Participants will shoot weekly assignments, attend group critiques and technical training sessions. Please only apply if you will be able to make these commitments.

Photographers will have free access to studios and equipment. The Scholarship is completely free to attend and funded by Kingsize Studios.
