Photography and Storytelling: Explore New Tools and Ideas
How can we take advantage of the current at-home time many of us are experiencing to further develop a project? If you can’t currently shoot for your project, make this a good moment to concentrate on research or to take a new look at the material you already have. We’ll discuss the creative process, how to plan a project, strategies for working with different subjects and locations, and how to overcome challenges that pop up along the way. Strengthen and refine your skills and explore new tools that can enrich your visual narratives by adding graphic elements, such as text, drawings, or maps. Finally, we’ll discuss creative ways to tell and share stories across various platforms, and how to reach a large and diverse audience on your own without an agent, magazine, or gallery.
