Portfolio Review and Advice with Karen Williams

Portfolio Review and Advice with Karen Williams

Author: Daniel Jester May 2, 2023 Duration: 35:20
Joining Daniel on the podcast is Karen Williams of Black Visual Queen, which is both her brand and a title given her 10 years of experience as art director, producer, editor, and curator at companies like Masterclass, Barron’s and Netflix. Recently Karen posted some advice on LinkedIn to help photographers more effectively showcase themselves to creative directors and producers seeking out talent for their next project. We already had time booked with Karen but had to change topics shortly before our recording session, and we thought it would be helpful for the photographers in our audience to go a little more in depth.
