Zoom Info Session with Olga Ginzburg
Join us for a free 30-minute info session to meet Olga Ginzburg and hear about her upcoming StrudelmediaLive class An Exploration of Community Through Portraiture. This is an evening class (US East Coast time) beginning Tuesday, Oct 6.
In this info session, Olga will talk about the tools the class will teach you for making portraits that are intimate and revealing, and how to overcome fears that come with photographing strangers. She’ll also talk about her own work and methods, as well as about who the class is for, what she’ll cover, what the assignments will be like and more — bring your questions!
