Do ​course ​descriptions ​miss ​the ​mark ​on ​what ​you ​want ​to ​create? ​Are ​you ​excited ​to make ​photos, ​but ​lack ​direction? ​Do ​you ​want ​to ​build ​a ​body ​of ​cohesive ​work ​but ​don’t know ​where ​to ​begin? ​Then ​this ​class ​is ​for ​you. ​I ​created ​this ​class ​because ​this ​was ​what I ​was ​looking ​for ​years ​ago ​as ​a ​prolific, ​yet ​directionless ​photographer. ​I ​needed ​more than ​a ​“how-to” ​class, ​but ​I ​didn’t ​want ​to ​spend ​my ​time ​working ​on ​a ​teacher-specified subject. ​In ​this ​class ​we’ll ​explore ​how ​inspiration ​strikes ​and ​build ​a ​few ​techniques ​to help ​spark ​ideas. ​We’ll ​take ​those ​ideas ​and ​create ​individual ​projects ​with ​concrete deadlines ​and ​goals. ​We’ll ​work ​together ​to ​develop ​community ​and ​learn ​about constructive ​critique. ​At ​the ​end ​of ​the ​course, ​each ​student ​will ​be ​challenged ​to self-select ​and ​showcase ​8 ​to ​10 ​images ​that ​can ​be ​considered ​a ​body ​of ​work.

Materials Needed:

Students ​should ​come ​to ​class ​with ​a ​few ​images, ​their ​cameras ​and ​a ​general ​working knowledge ​of ​their ​equipment. ​We ​will ​spend ​class ​time ​shooting ​and ​critiquing ​in ​addition to ​being ​given ​outside ​assignments. ​Students ​will ​need ​to ​bring ​in ​their ​work ​on ​a ​USB drive ​to ​share ​with ​the ​group.
