visual storytelling

CONCEPT
Moments often pass by without
being identified as images to be remembered.
These moments cross all kinds of borders.
Sometimes when these borders are crossed,
the results are viewed as uncomfortable and
hard to deal with; the photographer has found
their limit. This workshop challenges students
to recognize that point and move beyond it
by examining community and life through
the art of visual storytelling. In this workshop,
participants examine the art of cohesive
storytelling and narrative, and work together to
create a storyline and a rich understanding of
place and culture. The goal of the workshop is
an intensive step toward an understanding of
individual photographic vision.
MEDIA
& TECHNIQUES Students
use digital cameras with manual exposure
capabilities and Adobe Lightroom to import,
edit and print images.
ACTIVITIES
Each student works on an
individual project, either an ongoing body of
work or discovering new pathways. Works-
in-progress are reviewed and new work from
individual assignments is discussed. Project
ideas and execution are examined as well as
obstacles and how to overcome them. Finally,
related contemporary and historical projects
are presented.
FACULTY Eli Reed is a professor, author and
photographer. He is the first African American
selected as a full member into the Magnum
Photos agency. Having been published in
nearly 30 magazines, Eli is best known for three
decades of photojournalism that reflect his
profound interest in the effects of war on society
and social justice, particularly the lives of African
Americans.

Camera
CONCEPT Learn how to produce images that CONCEPT
Willie Osterman
capture the imagination with an everyday tool
that is right at your fingertips: your iPhone. This
one-day workshop explores the possibilities of
“iPhonography”. The iPhone has become one
of the most ubiquitous, innovative and playful
photographic tools in our daily experience,
but this powerful device is capable of so much
more. With the ever-widening array of creative
applications and an emerging practice of
photographic interventions, the iPhone has also
become a uniquely powerful and self-contained
editing tool. Students explore how to make
the most of camera settings and learn some of
the latest and more established applications
to unleash the breathtaking potential of our
images.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use
iPhones and select camera apps to capture, edit
and catalog images.
ACTIVITIES
Students
learn
through
demonstrations of emerging applications for
the iPhone and spend the day using them to
capture and edit images.

The concept of the “therapeutic
camera” is needed now more than ever in our
society. This workshop looks at the use of the
camera (regardless of size) as a therapy tool.
Students photograph to record what they see,
how they feel, where they were, physically and
psychologically, and what they have done.
Sometimes the person behind the camera does
not realize how much those created images
reveal. Through exercises and discussions,
students explore how therapeutic the camera
can be and how the work created tells the
maker so much about themselves.
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES
Students use
digital photography, digital printmaking, and
digital workflow with Adobe Lightroom and
Adobe Photoshop.
ACTIVITIES Exercises allow students a unique
view into the world of image-making, which may
change the way they think about how they work.
Activities include simple observational and
photographic exercises, including: ‘Pass’ the
Camera, The Visual Journal, The Morning Ritual,
The Ritual of Being and The Liar’s Portfolio.
Studio activities are complemented by short
field trips and ample time to create new images.
