Online Class Presented by The International Center of Photography (ICP)
Telling Summer Stories through a Visual Diary
Interested in this class? Email us and we'll notify you next time it runs.
Presented by the International Center of Photography (ICP). This class delves into creative ways to capture your immediate surroundings — no matter where you are — with images that express the feeling of summer. After months of lockdown and social distancing, how might you explore your immediate environment? We experiment with blending memories and past personal experiences with our “new normal” by examining ways to add text or photos from our archives and discuss how to photograph non-tangibles, like heat, smell, or feelings. We also cover different approaches to telling personal stories by studying the work of artists such as Nina Katchadourian, Hiraki Sawa, Gueorgui Pinkhassov, Robert Adams, and Daniel Ramos, among others. By the end of class, students will have created a visual diary of their summer and deepened their creative and artistic practice. Registration is through the ICP website.
Please note: Open to all skill levels.
I want to tell you again that your class was great. I'm very inspired. Is there any chance you and Edward can continue this class? I don't want it to end!! It encompasses everything I love.

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.
