Explore the creative possibilities of shaping your individual photographs into a new cohesive form through sequencing. Whether you’re preparing for a portfolio review, creating a gallery for your website, laying out prints for an exhibition, working on a photobook, making diptychs/triptychs, or devising a slideshow for an artist talk, it’s vitally important to be able to organize your photographs in a way that will amplify the meaning of the work for your audience. Through editing and sequencing exercises, we’ll examine image-to-image connections, devise unexpected juxtapositions, group pictures into storytelling narratives, and craft compelling photo essays. Lectures will include analysis of sequences from published works by established photographers and discussion of how to approach the daunting task of editing with a specific goal in mind. We will be working with a combination of provided images, pictures from the student’s own archive, and for a few assignments, taking new photographs to complete sequences. Students do not need a finished body of work to take this class.

I have taken photography classes at most of the renowned schools and organizations in the US, but none are better than those taught by Kai McBride of StrudelmediaLive.  He is an incredibly intelligent and gifted educator who goes out of his way to make every class a memorable experience filled with ‘aha’ moments. Kai has talent galore. Don’t miss his courses!

Kai McBride is a photographer, musician, teacher, and avid cyclist who recently uprooted from Brooklyn to sunny Santa Fe, New Mexico. He spent the last ten years teaching photography and managing the photo facilities at Columbia University, his alma mater, where he received an MFA in 2008.

Born on the island of Kauai in 1972, by his 18th birthday Kai had lived in California, Oregon, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Texas, Oahu, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. He sharpened his powers of observation while adjusting to life between suburban ranch-style homes, cabins with no running water, and a 20-foot teepee in the field of a commune.

His photographs have been exhibited in museum and gallery exhibitions, and are held in public and private collections. His first monograph, About Face: Picturing Tampa, was published by SPQR Editions in Fall 2016.

Kai teaches black and white photography, photobooks, and more for StrudelmediaLive.
