Create Environmental Portraits That Tell Powerful Stories (Online)

Learn how to tell stories about people by photographing them in their own environments—their neighborhoods or homes, indoors or outdoors—and how to incorporate space to reveal intimate details about them. We delve into environmental portraiture and learn ways to make your subjects feel comfortable, so that your images both illuminate their personalities and engage the viewer on a deeper level. We also cover the history of the environmental portrait and discuss a selection of contemporary photographers, including those who combine environmental portraits with a documentary-style project. This course is limited to 12 students.

Course Level / Prerequisite: Intermediate: You are familiar with a camera, whether film or digital. You understand aperture, shutter speed, exposure, white balance, histograms, and how to control focus. You are comfortable editing and processing your images. You may want to learn how to utilize your camera in a more thoughtful and articulate way, or learn more about lighting or how to utilize theoretical concepts in relation to your portfolio of work.

Courses are subject to minimum enrollment. Please register early, within five days of the start-date, to reduce the likelihood of course cancellation and to ensure you receive all course-related materials in time to prepare for class.
