Stretch Your Creative Muscles

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

This class is presented by the International Center of Photography (ICP). Feeling stymied in your photographic practice? Need a little push to try something new? In this class, students get to stretch their creative muscles! Weekly exercises challenge participants to experiment with creative approaches to storytelling and to try new techniques and ways of taking pictures, whether out on the street or in your own home. We also seek inspiration from a variety of photographers from around the world. At the end of the class, students are energized and inspired to expand their style or continue a project from a fresh perspective. Registration is through the ICP website.

 

Please note: Open to all skill levels.
 
What a great class — I learned a lot and found it very inspirational!
—Jessica (New York City)
Anja's course helped me to get out of my comfort zone and grow as a photographer — the assignments and the feedback helped me to be more honest about my work and challenge myself more. I cannot stress enough how useful her courses would be for anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and photographer. I really enjoyed the interactive part where you can speak and see the other people in class in real time — it really brings up the learning experience.
—Alejandra (Mexico)
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)
