Class Description

Description

Learn how to capture images the way documentary photographers do. If you are an intermediate/advanced photographer, find out how to use imagery to make statements without words.

This hands-on workshop covers composition, visual direction, lighting (natural and flash), proper lens selection, and controlling depth of field.

With an emphasis on the styles of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Keith Carter, Gordon Parks, Mary Ellen Mark, W. Eugene Smith, and Garry Winogrand, photo assignments feature the significance of conveying a story (photo essay or photo story), an environmental portrait, and 'the decisive moment' with  your images.
