June 25: "Photographic Projects: Creating and Shaping a Body of Work." Open to all levels and taught on Zoom.

This class addresses the challenges and opportunities of creating a body of work on a single theme ranging from:
generating your initial, driving idea,
sketching out the early phases of a project,
developing the narrative or storyline of the project content,

Please consider joining us. It's a creative, vital group of photographers and there are a few spaces left.
