What you will learn at this event.
This is a unique chance to sit down one-on-one with David Severn, a leading voice in contemporary British documentary photography.
Based in Nottingham, David’s work explores themes of deindustrialisation, working-class culture, and social life in post-industrial communities—subjects deeply rooted in his own upbringing in a former coal mining town in the East Midlands. His evocative images have been exhibited internationally, including at the Martin Parr Foundation, FORMAT International Photography Festival, and the Singapore International Photography Festival.
David has worked on assignments for The New York Times, Le Monde, The Financial Times Weekend Magazine, The Times (London), and MONOCLE, and was named one of Magnum Photos’ “30 Under 30” in 2015. In 2020, he was nominated for the prestigious FOAM Paul Huf Award.
In these 15-minute one-to-one sessions, you’ll have the chance to:
- Discuss your portfolio with an acclaimed documentary photographer
- Gain insights into visual storytelling, cultural context, and photographic voice
- Ask questions about technique, project development, or navigating editorial and arts commissions
Whether you're working on a long-term project or building your portfolio, this is a one-time-only event you won’t want to miss.
What to bring:
- A curated selection of the work you’d like feedback on (printed or digital)
- A laptop or tablet if presenting a digital portfolio
- Any specific questions or areas you'd like guidance on
Spaces are limited and expected to fill quickly. Book now to secure your session.
