applications
All STUDENT, Assistant and Emerging Members who join image makers association australia before 31/5/24 are eligible to apply to be mentored by one of Australia’s pre-eminent photographers who have generously donated their time to support the development and evolution of emerging talent in Australia.
All applications submitted on or before 31/5/24 will be considered by the mentors, with successful candidates announced on 31st July 2024. The Program of Mentorship will commence at a time agreed between mentor and the successful candidate and will include:
12 Months mentoring
Monthly 1 hour mentoring sessions to be mutually arranged
2 photo shoot attendances over the course of the year providing an opportunity to observe and understand the mentors processes and professional practice
After 5 months with their mentor, each mentee will be asked to present two images which have come about as a result of their engagement/relationship; they will also present a brief outline of how these images were informed by mentor feedback and complete a brief survey about their experience. Feedback will also be sought directly from the mentors. From there, the IMAA Committee will be responsible for selecting one successful mentee to receive $5000 worth of camera equipment of their choosing, generously provided by Nikon. An outcome will be considered successful based on how much initiative, engagement, respect and professional conduct has been shown towards the mentors themselves who are donating their time to this program as well as the photographic outcome presented.
