A roundtable event held to consult with a range of Derby and Derbyshire’s most successful Designer-Maker businesses, was led by representatives from Derbyshire County Council and the Derbyshire Makes team, with high quality product photography being identified as a key need during the event.
Working in partnership with the University of Derby and the Create Growth D2 Hub, funding was secured to provide the professional support that a range of designer-maker businesses required. As one of the Derbyshire Makes project partners, Arts Derbyshire launched the photography bursary for businesses across Derby and Derbyshire in February this year with resounding success.
With total funds of £13,000, the programme supported 14 Designer-Maker businesses and 7 Photographers, in producing 100s of high quality product photographs.
