Ultimately, your photographs are about you.

It’s called your personal work because you see and create with a camera—you experience mindful moments, capturing and preserving these unique images. Now what . . . share them on a phone screen, create a social media thread or website, make prints that end up stored under your bed? Or really step back and look at your photographs with fresh eyes?

If you are an emerging photographer, a seasoned image-maker or just want to embrace a new viewpoint within the creative realm of photography, this class will demystify current trends and point you to the tried-and-true methods for understanding your work. It is a short course to either jump-start you with new ideas or solidify your current projects with a critical eye including valuable testing of your work with feedback from your peers.

  

Materials: Required for the first-class meeting, on Zoom: photographic (jpg) images to share that define you: one image that represents your present imagery.

Other: optional textbook: The Creative Act: A Way of Being, Rick Rubin, ISBN 9780593652886 (hardcover). (Also check for an e-book copy.)

Suggested for every class meeting: either a journal that you currently use or a Moleskine-like bound book. (You will need this journal for taking discussion notes to refer to during the course and other important thoughts, ideas, and points you want to remember.)

 

Max students: 12
