The first major work after graduation is often the most decisive in a photographer's career. Usually, it is also one of the hardest. Faced with the new demands of everyday work life, and without the guidance, the pressure and the continuous exchange that university had offered, it is not easy to muster the courage for a large independent project. This is where the new postgraduate program at Ostkreuzschule comes in.
