Your residency materials
Know what each resource is for, when you receive it and how it supports your portfolio and business. TCI’s proprietary materials are included in your workshop fee.
Your materials arrive electronically. Use them to turn ideas into a plan, prepare for fieldwork and organise work you can present to prospective clients.
Confirmation, dates and preparation schedule
When: Immediately after payment.
Confirmation identifies your selected package and season. Residency dates show when your workshop takes place. Travel responsibilities explain the arrangements and third-party costs you manage yourself. Your preparation schedule outlines the tasks to complete before fieldwork.
Sample lesson
When: Immediately after payment.
A short introduction to TCI’s working method: start with a traveller’s question, decide what evidence is needed and plan content that helps them make a decision. The sample is an illustrative teaching example, not completed resident work.
Strong Start preparation material
When: Prior to departure.
Preparation material that helps you clarify your direction, consider the traveller you want to serve and arrive ready to use TCI’s proprietary portfolio building system. Work through it alongside your preparation schedule so your workshop time begins with a plan.
Business Kit
When: Prior to departure.
The business sheets and working forms you use during the residency and can apply to future client work. They support a practical business strategy and clearer conversations about briefs, scope, deliverables and usage rights. You practise using the documents as part of the workshop.
Field Production Toolkit and walkthrough
When: During preparation, before fieldwork.
TCI’s proprietary shoot-planning and production resources help you connect a brief with purposeful coverage. The walkthrough explains how to use the tools to plan what to capture, organise your fieldwork and review the result. Detailed shoot lists are shared with enrolled residents.
Closeout materials
When: After the residency.
Materials to support reviewing your work, organising your portfolio and identifying your next steps. Use them to carry your working method into future projects and continue developing your asset library and business strategy.
