To thoughtfully enact change across industries, we must have a pool of diverse creatives actively participating and owning their narratives, their images, and most importantly, their stories. Post this The Creative Empowerment Program is a holistic intensive experience designed from the ground up by Diversity Photos and Adobe Stock to prepare participants for success in the business of stock photography. Unique in the field, the program combines financial investment with education in the form of hands-on mentorship and instruction —co-created and lead by industry veterans from Diversity Photos and Adobe Stock and informed by client experience and data insights. Instruction includes workshops on the business of stock, and portfolio reviews with experienced, industry-leading curators. Each participant in the Creative Empowerment Program is also allocated funding to implement large-scale photoshoots, and paired with onsite mentors to ensure their success.
