Two Sides of the Lens: Commercial Briefs and Personal Projects.

In this talk, Denisa Ilie explores the balance between commercial and personal work in her photography practice — and what that means for the way she shoots.

Denisa will take us through how her creative approach shifts depending on the brief, from client-driven commercial commissions to the freedom of personal projects. A key focus will be how these two worlds influence her equipment choices, exploring why the gear that works best for a polished commercial shoot doesn't always translate to her more personal work, and vice versa.
