Stretch Your Creative Muscles!
Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.
This is a new section of this class — previous section sold out!
Feeling a little stiff in your photographic practice? Need a little push to try something new, especially now when you probably can’t be in public much? Let’s stretch our creative muscles together in this live online photography workshop.
Unique weekly exercises will challenge you to experiment with creative approaches to storytelling and to try out new techniques and ways of taking pictures. Through group critique, we’ll analyze composition and we’ll also seek inspiration by examining the work of a variety of photographers. At the end of the class, students will be energized and inspired to expand their photographic vision.
A special highlight of the workshop will be a live, online gallery tour with commentary of the exhibition “Francesca Woodman . On Being an Angel” at C/O Berlin (currently closed due to COVID-19 restrictions). Woodman’s visual language often encompasses interiors — just the sort of imagery available to many of us now.
This live online workshop is designed for our current #stayhome period.
I've been enjoying all of the courses that I take through StrudelmediaLive. I find them motivating and fun, and I feel part of a community. You are building something wonderful.

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!

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.
