Visual Storytelling — Developing Your Own Voice

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

Would you like to start a new project but don’t quite know how? Or are you looking for new ideas for something you’re already working on? We’ll discuss a variety of approaches to visual storytelling — ways of shooting, story structure, research, composition, editing and sequencing, and documentary and conceptual approaches. We’ll also look at work by other photographers to analyze the tools they used for creative storytelling, including adding non-photographic elements. This class meets every few weeks and assignments will be customized to each student, to help you develop your own individual photographic voice.

 

 
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 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)
