Isabelle Hattink – Change Workshop
changing the world – one head at a time
In my talk, I want to discuss the importance of a personal project that helps others—something where the social aspect is particularly visible. How do you approach such a project, and what drives you to do it?
I’ll share my experience of following the street barber who provides free haircuts to the homeless and houseless community, and the profound impact of this initiative. Through this project, I truly began to see people for who they are and, more importantly, recogniSed the significance of doing so. Truly seeing people works like magic. It’s the recognition we all need.
With this talk, I hope to inspire others to find their own projects where they can make a difference, discover depth in their photography, and feel the power of our medium.
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.
