ABOUT THE CLASS
Are you a photographer interested in long-form visual storytelling and documentary photography? Would you benefit from the insight of a master teacher who has personally worked on and understands the arc of a documentary project, from concept to public presentation? Do you seek a community of photographers who are working to tell stories of their own and can identify with your challenges?
This online critique course, led by acclaimed documentary photographer Jaime Permuth, offers structure and feedback as you develop your ideas and refine your work. Weekly sessions will help you pinpoint your goals, clarify your artistic intention, broaden your visual vocabulary, and deepen your voice as a storyteller.
No matter what stage your project is in, Jaime will meet you there and, along with your classmates, support and challenge you to advance your work and realize your artistic goals and intention. The course will conclude with a one-hour private portfolio review during which you and Jaime will go over your work and discuss strategies for developing your project.
COURSE FORMAT
Eight group classes. Students will show work every other session.
One private portfolio review with Jaime. Dates TBD.
