Introducing Hot Mirror: Expanding Perspectives in Photography
Dear colleagues and fellow artists / photographers,
As the founder of the BarTur Award and someone deeply invested in the world of photography and design, I have encountered a challenge that I believe many of us can relate to: the struggle of understanding the mindset and expectations of potential clients.
In light of this, I introduce you to Hot Mirror, a publication that aims to bridge this gap and provide valuable insights for artists like us.
I invite you all to join me in this endeavor as we embark on an exciting journey of discovery and growth.
—Amnon BarTur
