Narrative Photography

This studio will introduce the students to the photography world with a particular focus on the photojournalistic and narrative aspects of this art medium. The studio will focus specifically on how to build and develop a visual photo essay from concept to finish. The studio objective is to improve both visual and technical confidence with the media, to give a good introductory knowledge of what documentary photography means, to be able to communicate something with an image, and to learn how to tell a story with a sequence of photos.
