THE CENTER: Visual Storytelling & Documentary Photography
Aug 23 - 27, 2021
9AM-5PM
Concept
The digital age has given documentary photographers and photojournalists new ways to tell stories with greater authorship and control. This workshop focuses on how to create a personal documentary project and get it seen. The ultimate goal is to find a subject that speaks to a personal passion, document it in a unique visual style, then disseminate the work. Participants engage new technologies to become more effective storytellers; these include social media, transmedia, virtual reality and digital video.
This class is in the second year of a three year program; tuition is per week, per year. Please contact Andrea Jenkins Wallace for more information. [email protected]
