How can we use the genre of architectural photography to tell a more personal story of place? This course invites you to engage with the built environment to develop your photography skills, style, and practice overall. We will consider architecture as both metaphor and subject as you focus your camera on sites that are significant to you. You’ll develop a short series, or narrative, that moves beyond creating a faithful photographic representation of the built environment and that includes your personal story, response to, and experience of the place. This course is suitable for anyone who wants to engage creatively with an architectural environment, space, place, and narrative. We’ll draw inspiration from artists and photographers, past and present, to consider camera techniques, composition, and sequencing, as your work develops through weekly exercises, discussions, and critique.

 
Thank you so much Marianne for this wonderful class! Adding text to my images isn’t something that I’ve ever done, but after this class I really like what I can do with images and stories. I also loved the structure of the class, how, step by step, we got to understand about adding text to images. Thank you for sharing your work, it's so creative! And the other work you showed was original and gave me a lot to think about.

I really enjoyed taking “Architecture and Narrative” with Marianne — she is a very, very inspiring teacher and I want to take more courses with StrudelmediaLive.
