Emily Renier – Change Workshop
how to look after our mental health
Working in the photography industry can be incredibly overwhelming, regardless of where you are in your journey. In this talk, I will explore why finding our “why” is so important in maintaining our well-being as well as keeping our careers sustainable in the long term. I will explore how finding meaning in what we do is actually THE key to our mental health. Likewise, because we work for ourselves, we are ultimately responsible for the working environment we create. In this hour, I will also go through how I create my working environment and why I am so committed to being a good boss to myself.
The NineDots awards take place every 3 months and are each judged by 4 incredible photographers from around the world.
At NineDots we believe in awards as fuel for continual improvement rather than being purely for peer recognition or creating hierarchy, so every round we ask our wonderful judges provide their expert insight into their judging process and offer feedback on the images entered through these regular ‘expert insight’ pieces. This helps everyone improve their craft – those who entered and those who didn’t, by getting advice from photographers at the top of the industry around the world.
