We'll explore

If you loved Archetypes, Inside/Out or the Idea Factory series, this workshop will complete your storytelling skills. We put all the skills you’ve learned in previous workshops towards creating your own unique visual story.

We start with three-sentence stories, taking your favorite into a complete multi-image story that shows a clear story arc showing transformation and a positive message for the viewer.

We will be using Scott McCloud’s book Understanding Comics as a reference. I encourage you to purchase this book for the workshop.

What they say

"You will not be disappointed; this workshop is a lot of fun!"

— Barbara, MARCH 2023

“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

“I have taken other classes on creativity but something about your approach is completely different and I “see” now what’s been missing in my photography.”
