Do you write and photograph for online publications, blogs, social media or local newspapers, but feel your photos could be stronger? Join us for this live online photography class to improve your photography storytelling and environmental portrait skills. Together we'll analyze how a good photo story is structured and what to consider when photographing people. Improve your photographic “seeing” with weekly, hands-on exercises. Works by a variety of documentary photographers are discussed to inspire you for your own photo stories.
Exciting guest speaker: Gianni Cipriano (The New York Times, The Guardian, Wired, The Wall Street Journal) will share his expertise on environmental portraits.
Co-presented with Forum Journalismus und Medien Wien (fjum) in Vienna, Austria (this class will be in English).
I wanted to thank you for all of your expertise and advice! You certainly helped move my photography to a much more authentic and insightful level and your endless support and encouragement keep those creative wheels turning and my photographic passions burning.
—Glen (Toronto)
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.
—Karyn (New York City)
Anja's class helped me much more than I was expecting. I was a bit lost in proceeding with my raw idea in the beginning, but the classmates from diverse backgrounds were there with me along the whole journey, sometimes as a critic and sometimes as a supporter, and their thoughtful feedback pushed me forward a lot. I recommend Anja's online classes to anyone who wants diverse feedback and the intimacy of the classroom experience.
