Making the work is one thing; deciding what stays, what goes, and what ultimately speaks for you is something else entirely. Over the years, whether preparing work for exhibitions, competitions, funding applications or postgraduate study, I’ve found that editing is often where the real shape of a project begins to emerge.   A strong portfolio is rarely about showing everything.

    Photography has never been an inexpensive profession. Whether you’re funding a documentary project, producing a photobook, travelling for a long-term body of work or pursuing further education, the costs can quickly become overwhelming. The good news is that the United States remains one of the best places in the world for photographers seeking grants, fellowships, scholarships and project funding. Over the years, I have interviewed photographers who have used grants to fund everything from environmental projects and documentary investigations to exhibitions, publications and postgraduate study.
