If you are an intermediate-level photographer ready to deepen your practice, consider this new course. Transition from making single, independent images to working on multi-image series. Each student will develop a portfolio of 8-10 photographs of their own personal project.
Plan and execute your project with the help of the instructor and input from fellow students. The core of each class is supportive group critique to review and discuss the latest work. Peter offers additional Lightroom instruction and discussions of work by classic and contemporary photographers. Following the last class, students will have the opportunity to have their portfolio archived on The Image Flow’s website.
The 6 class sessions are spaced 3 weeks apart to allow photographers time to significantly progress their projects.
