For Writers and Journalists: Improve Your Photography
Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.
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).
Since I haven't had the opportunity to study photography formally, I needed a course that would help me acquire an awareness of the composition skills I was thinking about unconsciously. Anja helped me improve my observation skills, both explaining the main elements of composition, with reference to the techniques used by other photographers, and through shooting exercises and group critique, which took me, week after week, to intentionally compose the frame in order to develop a narrative.

Thank you for all your guidance and patience with my project. There were some terrific students/talent in the class and you did a great job getting everyone to participate!
