Go beyond the stand-alone picture to build a multi-image narrative.

We'll explore

It’s one thing to create a single compelling image. It’s quite another to stitch together a narrative of multiple images into a story. In this workshop, you’ll learn the power of thoughtful curation and hone your storytelling skills in the process.

You’ll create 12–14 images to be curated into a six-image visual story. This is a great opportunity to go deeper into a particular photographic technique, idea or style. I will present you with a list of over 60 ideas to choose from.

In addition, developing a series creates a deeper experience for the viewer that’s often not possible with a single image. This workshop helps your clarify a particular viewpoint or style to stand out from the pack.

This workshop is inspired by a LensWork podcast contest called “Seeing In Sixes.”

What they say

“I learnt so much about my ability and about my creativeness through out the workshop as well as finding out that I have so many ideas inside me…“

“I really enjoyed all the different activities that we had every class, but mostly to see how every participant approached the task for every activity and the comments all gave about the photographs I presented.”
— Luis
The feedback from the group was most helpful to me. The other members were unfailingly supportive. They also provided wonderful suggestions when I got stuck with some aspect of my project.
