The Business of Music Photography: A Workshop and Mixer

We invite you to join us for “The Business of Music Photography: A Workshop and Mixer”.

The Media Pass Emerging Artist Program’s year-end event will empower music photographers and videographers with the tools to build and elevate their businesses.

Co-presented with Of The Saint, this two-fold event will begin with a business development workshop, offering strategies for navigating the industry, client acquisition, and brand positioning. Elijah will share insight into his creative journey, revealing how he landed world-class clients and built a thriving creative career at a young age.

Attendees will then be invited to take part in a portfolio review session. Participants will receive personalized feedback and actionable advice to refine their work and best position themselves for prospective clients and concert opportunities.

Lastly, participants will be given an exclusive tour of CMI's new "Studio 200" photography and content studio space.

Bringing together emerging and established photographers, artists, and industry professionals, this event will be an opportunity to learn, connect, and grow within the music media landscape.

This event is presented in collaboration with Of The Saint Productions and Canada’s Music Incubator. It will take place at CMI’s Studio 200 (310 Spadina Ave, 2nd Floor, Toronto),
