This group meets once per month and is for photographers and media artists who are looking for long-term support and continuity while working on a project. We’ll discuss different approaches on how to best tell the story that fits each student’s individual project. During these monthly critiques we’ll also cover story structure, research, composition, editing, and documentary and conceptual approaches. This group is also a way to simply talk about anything related to photography to get inspired: we’ll look at other photographers’ work, discuss technical issues, and talk about how to best present the final project (on the web, in book form, an exhibition, or as a multimedia piece). A guest speaker (to be announced) will present their work and share their experience. This class is limited to 7 students only and each session runs for 3 hours with a 10 minute break. Includes a private 1-on-1 session.

 

Please note: 1) Students must submit a selection of at least 10 images or a link to their website to be accepted to this class. 2) Students should either already be working on a project, or have a project idea at the beginning of the class.

I wanted to thank you again for sharing your wisdom and your insightful thoughts with me these past ten weeks. I really enjoyed the structure you created for the class. It was also such a nice group of people — everyone was very supportive.
