Online class Co-presented by C/O Berlin and StrudelmediaLive
Finding Your Voice as a Photographer
Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.
Have you been taking pictures for a while but feel your images could be improved with more focus and meaning? Do you have difficulty expressing visually what you want to say? In this class, you’ll work on developing your own personal style and language by deepening your photographic seeing, refining your composition skills, and learning techniques to tell stronger stories. We'll discuss a variety of approaches to visual storytelling and analyze work by other photographers to learn what tools they use. Taking each student's natural talents and interests as the starting point and through weekly group critique and exercises, you’ll deepen your photography practice and develop your own visual voice.
A special highlight of this class will be a live online tour through the C/O Berlin retrospective of photographer Daido Moriyama.

To me, online classes have been a synonym for freedom. Freedom of being where I was, geographically. Freedom of expressing myself through the group discussions and learning by sharing with others and with Anja.
—Lara (France)
I am a huge fan of live online photography classes, having participated in a dozen since 2014! Through inspiring and encouraging critique from instructors and discussion with other students, I have seen my own work and that of others grow, focus and refine. Another benefit of these classes is the opportunity to meet and interact with others, near and far, who, like myself, are not able to participate in a New York City classroom. I have enjoyed Anja's classes so very much; her expertise is impressive, her enthusiasm contagious!
