Photographing with Intention
Join Aline Smithson, one of the Memory is a Verb artists, at DCP for a 5-day professional development intensive designed to help photographers craft focused projects and articulate their creative intent. This workshop is open to photographers at all stages of their practice who create images with any type of camera or process.
Students will be exposed to genres of contemporary photography, projects created around ideas, and projects that tell personal stories. Aline will offer exercises so that students can identify a personal vision or a subject worth exploring, providing a tool belt of ideas to create work. Ultimately, the workshop will inspire participants to reconsider how they make work, how they interpret their lives and their world, and by bringing depth and meaning to their efforts.
