Welcome to Photo Essay 1140!

The photographic essay has its roots in documentary photography. The photo essay is a wonderful way in which to document, describe, and represent an aspect of life that you deem interesting and worthy of expression. In this course you will develop an extended photo essay around 1 topic/subject matter that you would like to (un)cover. From week 3 through week 8 you will be shooting 100 images per week, a total of 600 images, from which you will edit and create a final photo essay of around 25 images.

This is a great course to build stamina and discipline as a photographer! You will learn to shoot through your usual habits, and learn to appreciate different ways of seeing and shooting. This course will also push you to shoot even on days you are not inspired.

Welcome and let's have a wonderful 11 weeks together!
