Photographic Narratives: Unveiling Depth and Authenticity

How do we develop depth and specificity in our work? How do we move past stereotypes and clichés? In this course, students explore different approaches to photographic narrative-building and storytelling with a focus on both memory and play as creative catalysts. Close attention is paid to the technical aspects of imagemaking and how to develop consistency in a project. Classes are a combination of presentation, critique, and assignments. Each participant approaches the challenge of creating an authentic artistic voice and learns how to develop multiple layers of any project in order to create meaningful work.
