Centering Your Body of Work
Fine-art photographer Al Brydon guides participants who want to create a cohesive body of work and bring greater focus and intention to their practice by clarifying their photographic philosophy and artistic aims.
Workshop Categories: Storytelling
Everyone has a story to tell—whether it’s your own or that of your subjects. Personal projects or photo-journalistic assignments carry unique challenges. Stories must have depth, sensitivity, and authenticity. Additionally, a story must have structure; a beginning, a middle, and an end, (though not necessarily in that order.) Tackle these challenges with experienced, working photographers to guide you.
