What to bring:
A selection of images and if possible, organised by completed projects, and projects-in-progress. Physical prints are best, but laptops and iPads can also work well. Prepare images before hand, have them in folders, separated by projects, years, themes etc. Showing work on a website or instagram isnt recommended.
Typically more than 50 images will be hard to get through in the 30mins.
A clearly written statement (or dot points) about any future projects you have in mind can be a useful starting point for discussion also.
For questions around professional development, exhibitions, publications etc - a list of written questions prepared earlier can help to keep the discussion on track and focused on your goals.
