Photographer and web designer Stefan Lewandowski - whose clients include Vivienne Westwood and the V&A - will explore the huge potential in gaining international recognition for your work through the Internet, and will take one audience member through the process of creating a professional-quality online showcase.

Themes to be addressed include:

- Online communities

- Photographers' portfolio sites on a shoestring
- How photographers can use the web to raise awareness and profiles
- A how-to guide on setting up a photoblog and portfolio site in 1 hour
- Making it pay: accepting payments easily (eg. Payloadz)

After the event all the information will be available as a how-to guide for photographers at www.3form.net.

Sessions are FREE but due to high demand registration is essential: email info@thecreativehub.org

Please include some brief info on what you do so we can tailor the session, plus any burning questions you have.
