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.

We just returned from a week away and found my zine waiting for me! I love it! Many thanks to you both and especially Edward for your time, expertise and patience as I began to learn InDesign. I am grateful and appreciative!

Anja's course helped me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a photographer — the assignments and the feedback helped me to be more honest about my work and challenge myself more. I cannot stress enough how useful her courses would be for anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and photographer. I really enjoyed the interactive part where you can speak and see the other people in class in real time — it really brings up the learning experience.
