From Single Image to Sequence: Beginning A Photography Project with Emily Belz
March 2, 2020 @ 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
$325.00 – $375.00
“Thinking up a project and then making pictures that fit does not, in my experience, usually result in the best pictures. Most of the books I’ve published have started with just walking and photographing free of any plan.” – Robert Adams
For many photographers, the path from creating a single, compelling image to creating a series or body of work can be challenging to navigate. This class will work to demystify the process of beginning a photography project, and sticking with it. Opening with a series of prompts (or assignments) photographers will work to identify what motivates their work and areas of image making that they feel passionate about. From this foundation or concentration, students will explore helpful techniques for progressing through a project. Topics will include research; writing about your work; guided editing; and sequencing. Limited to 12 students with previous photographic experience.
