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.

 

 
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!

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.
