We would like to commission an artist lead photography project to promote Cornerstone Arts Centre, local people’s creativity and the wonderful town of Didcot. We are seeking a photographer to run a portrait and documentary project based on the creative and artistic activity in Didcot, representing various art forms, scenes, creative activity and community life in a stylised and artistically captivating collection of work.
We are looking for a photographer to propose a creative way of working with us and produce approximately 40 images of the arts and creative activity (from a range of ages and backgrounds) representing the breadth of art forms, and locations in Didcot and surrounding area.
Images produced will be used in a creative and imaginative way in printed and online marketing.
Our chosen photographer will …
• Run engaging and creative community based photography workshops as part of Cornerstone outreach programme
• Create an artistic and stylish body of work to promote the arts and Cornerstones creative ‘offer’
• Arrange photo shoots
• Collate the catalogue of work
• Supply images digitally to the Cornerstone marketing team am (Images can be black and white or colour and will be need to be of a high enough resolution to be reproduced as an A00 poster size).
Creative conversations will be held throughout the project to help define the brief and could also include ways of incorporating text and further references to or within the final artwork (although this is not an essential requirement).
