"Visitors often think of LA as a glamorous place where people with big dreams, big personalities, and big money live fabulous lives. Hagen’s photographs show a less glitzy and more somber side to the city. The black-and-white images contain the usual suspects—palm trees, billboards, and bright lights cutting through the night sky—but his decidedly un-slick aesthetic exchanges sparkle for grain, and blue skies for grey horizons."

Adjunct Professors: Clear some space in that fridge with the TIS books Essential Non-essentials Grant

Are you an active adjunct professor of photography? Do you have exposed film in the fridge that you just can’t afford to process right now? Do you need a plane ticket or gas money to help you get to your project? Are you trying to figure out how to pay for some of that exhibition framing?

One of our co-founders is part of this army of road dog educators and we understand the struggles that adjunct professors face while trying to support their livelihood and studio practice while also teaching a new generation of artists and makers with no security or benefits. We feel compelled to help in any way we possibly can. That’s why TIS books is excited to launch this modest project grant to help you along the way.

The great is $1000, with no strings attached except for you to concentrate on your art. All you need are seven images, a 300-word statement, and a teaching CV.
