1.15pm – 2pm – In Pursuit of your own style with Karolina Stus

Karolina Stus, NZIPP Expressive Photographer of the Year 2020, will share some of her Expressive category work and the story of how she creates these beautiful, tactile, experimental pieces. Karolina combines her photographs with natural elements, and manipulates found materials to creative effect – dyeing, stitching, burning, even boiling them. The results are unpredictable, unique and exciting. Karolina will inspire you to start exploring the opportunities and satisfaction to be had from using your hands instead of Photoshop. If you are ready to start thinking outside the box with your photography, this event will be perfect for you.

 

2.15pm – 3.45pm –  The Marketer’s Dozen with Jason Naylor

13 Powerful Ways to Grow Your Marketing and Your Business

Jason Naylor, creative business coach, is obsessed with helping small creative businesses find that balance between making art, and making money.

He’s fresh off delivering a 10-week digital marketing programme with James Day, and wants to bring some of that inspiration and genius to The Summit.

Marketing is so much more than great photos, and this will give you a crash course on how to stand out and generate more enquiries (plus a little bit of productivity, strategy, and mindset sprinkled in there!)
