Posted 15 September 2021

It's always hard leaving education and finding your way in the creative industries, but for 2021 graduates it has been harder than ever. To support graduates Redeye runs an annual Graduate Mentoring Scheme to pair up photography graduates with experienced industry professionals, who offer their advice, guidance and support. Each year Redeye selects some exceptional photography graduates to receive a Redeye award and a year’s worth of free mentoring as part of our Graduate Mentoring Scheme.

This year we have 4 award winners who we are thrilled to announce:

4 images, one from each graduate award winner. From left to right: Emilia Trafalgar, Jane Frieslaar, Katie Aird, Yelena Overchenko

Incorporating filmmaking into your practice as a photographer

Posted 7 September 2021

There is a growing demand for photographers to ‘do it all’ and while this can be a daunting thought, expanding upon your skills may open up many more opportunities for you as well as adding to your portfolio. Photographer Jon Enoch decided to make the most of the lack of work in lockdown to further his skillset in filmmaking.

Image shows two polaroid photographs next to each other. The one on the left is a scene at the seaside in Margate, UK, where there is one boy sat on the sea wall and another next to him jumping off of the wall into the sea. The image on the right is of a cityscape of Bangkok during a monsoon. The image is very blue toned and has some smeared developer over it.

Feedback from Redeye's Mentoring in 2020

Posted 24 June 2021

Redeye’s Graduate Mentoring Scheme is an opportunity to connect with an industry professional. It’s a chance to ask questions, seek advice or support, gain feedback on work, and chat through ideas.

We thought it would be best to hear about the mentorship experience from some of the 2020 mentees, so they have kindly written some short testimonials on their experience this past year to give you a better idea of what the mentorship can offer.

Due to the pandemic, many photographers have had to change the way in which they work in order to sustain a living. In this series of blog posts by Redeye's Rosie Dale, we celebrate the adaptability and resiliance of the photographic community during this past year, and highlight some of those that have sucessfully altered their business models, or tried something new, to continue working during what is now the new normal of the photography industry.
