Visual Diary: Telling Stories About (a Different) Summer

Anja Hitzenberger
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). How do you perceive your summer surroundings, after months of lockdown and social distancing? This class explores creative ways to capture your immediate surroundings — no matter where you are — with images that express the feeling of summer, keeping in mind how life is different now. We discuss what is important when telling a story and analyze storytelling techniques used by other photographers. By the end of the class, students will have created a visual diary of their summer and deepened their creative process and artistic practice.

 

 
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 for all of your expertise and advice! You certainly helped move my photography to a much more authentic and insightful level and your endless support and encouragement keep those creative wheels turning and my photographic passions burning.
—Glen (Toronto)
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!
—Lisa (New York City)
