Welcome to The Essentials, a series of online classes for photographers presented by The Everyday Projects + Black Women Photographers. These online classes will take place once a week from May 5 to June 2 with instructors Kiana Hayeri, Andrea Wise, Nicky Woo, Danielle Villasana, and Yagazie Emezi. Each class is 75 minutes and will include a Q&A.

Yagazie Emezi will draw from her personal experiences of utilizing social media for self-promotion, managing finances as a freelancer, understanding contracts, and finding opportunities. She will speak to the challenges photographers regularly face, including setting a day rate and understanding usage and copyrights. Her session will be rooted in practical tools and strategies, and in understanding the overall value of one’s work.

These Webinars are free, but we'd love it if you made a $5 donation to Black Women Photographers to help us continue our mission in supporting Black women and non-binary photographers globally.
