CONCEPT The digital age has given documentary photographers and photojournalists new ways
to tell stories with greater authorship and control. This workshop focuses on how to create a personal
documentary project and get it seen. The ultimate goal is to find a subject that speaks to a personal
passion, document it in a unique visual style, then disseminate the work. New technologies to be
more effective storytellers are used, including social media, transmedia, virtual reality and digital
video.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
editing of work.
Students learn through presentations, discussions, critiques and
ACTIVITIES
Each morning begins with a presentation about documentary photography and
contemporary practices. Students participate in editing and review sessions, group reviews of each
student’s portfolio/essays, one-on-one sessions with faculty to discuss personal projects and dialog
about building careers or the promotion and publishing of work.
