The Market Photo Workshop, in association with AngloGold Ashanti, is proud to announce that applications for the 2010 Edward Ruiz Mentorship are now open.
The Edward Ruiz Mentorship was established to help launch the career of a promising photographer. The mentorship is aimed at recognising and developing potential in photographers who have achieved sufficient competence to put together a body of work that is coherent and well conceived. The mentorship awards the recipient with the financial and infrastructural support needed to develop a substantial body of photography work over the course of a year.
The recipient also has the opportunity to work closely with a suitable mentor, who will provide guidance on the intended project. The mentor, identified by the recipient and the Market Photo Workshop is a professional practicing photographer. Past mentors have included David Goldblatt, Jo Ractliffe, John Fleetwood, Michelle Loudikis and Jean Brundrit. This mentorship programme was established to commemorate the life of renowned phot journalist Edward Ruiz, a native New Yorker and freelance journalist who photographed the people and stories of South Africa from 1999. Edward was an energetic photographer with great investigative skills and admirable commitment. To uphold and continue the great contribution Edward made to South African photography, the mentorship programme aims to develop photographers who show potential.
A voluntary briefing session will be held at the Market Photo Workshop on Thursday 22 July 2010 at 2pm. This briefing will cover the application, and proposal writing process.
