In this 2-weekend workshop intensive, you'll refine and develop your composition skills, improve your photographic seeing, and learn to tell stronger stories. You'll be stimulated to develop a heightened sensitivity to your surroundings — no matter if it's an urban environment, in the country, or even if you're staying at home. During group critique we will analyze what works in an image — and what doesn’t. We'll discuss compositional tools, creative ways of storytelling, and effective editing, and also take a comparative look at historical and contemporary photographers. On the first weekend, students should schedule time in between the Saturday and Sunday sessions (depending on their own time zone) to go photograph and upload images for the Sunday class. In addition, assignments will be given to be completed from one weekend to the next.
