From Intent To Edit: Establishing a Relationship With Your Work

This relationship-building workshop helps photographers establish strategies and methods to organize, meditate on, and ponder their images. The quest for an individual focus is important and frequently a difficult task for the emerging photographer. Often it is easier for photographers to ""take"" a picture than it is for them to see what they actually produced. Knowing how to edit and refine the outcome of a shoot is of equal importance and fundamental when building a relationship with one's own photography. This course helps photographers develop strategies to assess their images. Students are encouraged to stand back, evaluate, and reflect on their images, learning how to better understand the success and clarity of their photographs. Class critiques bolster students' ongoing relationship with their independent practice.
