Discover the Workshop

This one-day seminar focuses on the use of a mobile phone in taking photos, video, notes, sketches, and audio recordings to produce documentary work or just capture the memories of your daily life. This course is taught in a seminar format, with students engaging in discussion about the practical use and possibilities of the mobile phone to create personal memories, citizen journalism, photojournalism, and daily visual journaling. In addition, the workshop delves into the creative side of smartphone photography. Learn about vision, creative apps, and storytelling during talks and edit-and-critique sessions. Also included is sharing of work by Faculty, showing his wide range of work done with a smartphone since he did the New Yorker’s first “takeover” in 2012, along with reviewing the work in a group setting of each participant’s work.
