Guest blogger Constance Chu shares her thoughts on empowering her students through the art of photography. Learning photography in an after-school workshop is not only fun, it can also be an empowering experience for kids. Often, when we think back to our childhoods, one thing that stands out is how powerful the experience of anxiety can be whether social, intellectual, or creative. As a young person, one learns the etiquette of social behavior and slowly gains intellectual and creative confidence through years of life experience often involving trial and error. Despite these unavoidable growing pains, I’ve found that learning photography

The next course will be May 17–19, 2019. No previous darkroom experience is required, as cyanotype materials are a fantastic entry point to learning about alternative printing methods; however, even more advanced printers will benefit from the course if they want to refine their technique or experiment with toning. Our small class size allows us to work hands-on

Photographer Stuart Schwartz gives photography tips for shooting street portrait photography with a sense of place and personal identity. For me, street portrait photography is more than simply taking a headshot of someone on the street. It should have the spontaneity of urban photography while also capturing the essence of the person or the moment. My goal with these types of street shots is to have enough information in the photograph to give the viewer both a sense of place and a sense of personal identity. A few important aspects to creating outstanding street portraits are getting intimate with your

Once in a while, we receive a special request for photography instruction tailored to a specific group, or perhaps a location. And sometimes, we get a request for both, allowing us the opportunity to create a truly unique experience for students of photography in a fascinating place.   It all started with a phone call from the Director of the design department at Healthline. The conversation was quick and to the point; Keith wanted to know if someone at The Image Flow would be able to provide some fundamental photography instruction to fifteen of the company’s employees during a team
