If you are an intermediate-level photographer and are ready to deepen your practice, consider this new course in which each student will develop their own personal photography project.
Transition from making single, independent images to working on multi-image projects that you, with the help of your instructor and fellow students, personally conceive, plan, and execute. This class is designed to help you engage across multiple photo shoots and class sessions with topic of your choosing. Photo projects can deepen your engagement with photography and can develop your logic, visual style, vocabulary, and momentum.
The six class sessions are spaced 3 weeks apart to allow photographers time to advance their project in a significant way. The core of each class is the supportive group critique, in which we review and discuss the latest work. Additionally, Peter will, at times, show work by classic or contemporary photographers and will offer additional Lightroom instruction.
