Diving Deep: A Monthly Mentoring Group
This intimate mentoring 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 look at different approaches to storytelling and what to consider when working on a long-term project — from story structure, composition, editing, research, to different documentary and conceptual approaches. Each student receives individual feedback, and we’ll also discuss how to best present each student’s 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 6 students only and each session runs for 3 hours with a 10 minute break. Includes a private 1-on-1 session.
