Stretch Your Creative Muscles!

Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.

Feeling a little stiff in your photographic practice? Need a little push to try something new? Stretch your creativity muscles with this new class! Unique weekly exercises will challenge you to experiment with creative approaches to storytelling and to try out new techniques and ways of taking pictures. Along the way we’ll seek inspiration from a variety of different photographers. At the end of the class, students will be energized and inspired to expand their style or continue a project from a fresh perspective.

 
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!

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!

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)
