Photographer Elizabeth Weinberg’s promo featured on PDN

PDN spoke with Weinberg about her new die-cut promo:

“When she began, it was the promo itself that had to showcase her work. Now, Weinberg sees her mailings as a vehicle to drive traffic to her website. For this reason, she doesn’t include a lot of other information in her promo. “I want the images to be a peek into the larger bodies of work that exist online” she explains.

Weinberg says that in all the years she’s been sending out promos she’s “never not gotten a job or at least an inquiry about a potential job from a promo piece.” But when she checks her website stats and sees new users and potential clients who never had visited before, she knows her promos are working.”

Photographer Karan Kapoor’s transgender teens project

Photographer Karan Kapoor‘s ongoing project on transgender teenagers was featured on the Workbook Blog. 

“After reading an article about how increasingly common it is for teenagers to want to change their sexuality, photographer Karan Kapoor decided to make contact with some of the individuals he read about. The teens in these portraits range from ages 15-19 and come from very different economic backgrounds.

But they all seem to one thing in common: the love and acceptance of family and friends.”
