STORYTELLING: Selecting, Sorting and Sequencing Your Pictures for a Book

Students in this course learn how to distinguish their vision by grouping similar imagery and making a sequence. Cherry-picking your work to find the pieces that make your true intention come alive gives you direction and confidence. You also discover the connective tissue that helps you realize that what is in your mind’s eye is a true accomplishment. Further sorting and organizing pictures by theme, design, concept, intuition, juxtaposition, or layout may lead to new ways of seeing your work. This class will help you make a book dummy to show the sequence of your work. Lectures on storytelling and sequencing complement the journey. This class is limited to 12 students.

Note: Open to iPhone users and professionals as well those who are looking to solidify their ideas and work. Adobe Bridge, Adobe Lightroom, Photo Mechanic, or similar software is recommended but not required.
