Continuing Education

214 East 21st Street

This travel photography course will explore how to create a compelling narrative told through pictures that can be captured with any device. Throughout the course we will review your work, explore your vision as a documentary photographer and discuss how sensibility builds your own perspective to tell a story. While this is a shooting course, class time is structured so that open discussions and weekly critiques of your work are integral components. We will review references and projects that will help you to understand what it takes to become a travel photographer and how to create a photo essay. Demonstrations will be given on how to post-process your images and create a cohesive sequence that will turn into your travel photography portfolio. By the end of the course, you will have a structured travel portfolio to start showing to editors and galleries. Any available camera will work, including phone cameras.
PREREQUISITE: Basic proficiency in photography.
NOTE: Please bring 10 of your images to the first session. This course is held on campus at SVA.
