Hey 
The basic difference is in formality, に関して is more formal than について, so the later is more likely to be used in daily conversations.
Cheers!

Another resource I would recommend adding that is quite helpful.

When can にかんして/する work where にかんけいがある cannot and vice versa? I get that they’re technically saying different things (“is related to” versus “there is a relationship”), so I get that they’re different grammar points, but I don’t get why it’s marked wrong if I put in the other one in some cases.
Xに関する You are talking about a topic related to X.
Xに関係がある Something is related to X. There exists a relationship between something and X.
車に関する本 A book that is about things related to cars.
車に関係がある本 A book that is related to a car.
Notice how the first is talking about the contents of the book, but the second is talking about the book itself.

This is a great example thank you very much. I’ll try my hardest to keep this in mind when I’m doing reviews.
