DOCUMENTARY STORYTELLING
Six Sundays Online, January 28 - March 10, 2024 @ 10:00 am – 1:00 pm
How do we incorporate our specific ideas and perspectives into photographs that speak to other people?
This hands-on workshop is for photographers looking to develop a longer form project. Students may want to work with strangers, develop a project in their own home, or explore a topic of concern to them. We will approach documentary storytelling as a way of photographing in the world, each from our own visual and personal subjectivity.
Through a series of assignments, discussions, and reviews of your work, we will dig into strategies for incorporating your perspectives into images of people and places.
Come with a project you have begun, or simply with the desire to develop the visual and thinking aspects of your photography.
