DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS WITH FRANK VAN RIPER
 |
I will once again be offering my 6-week evening workshop in documentary photography and project printing this coming fall and winter at Glen Echo Park's PhotoWorks studio in Glen Echo, Maryland. The fall session will run from September 21st through October 26, 2006; the winter session will run from January 11th through February 15th 2007. Each class goes from 7pm to 10:30pm each week.
The last session of this class, which ended last March, was fully booked and had a waiting list, so those interested in signing up in the future might want to save this information.
In the class students will be expected to initiate or continue a project of their choosing, with the goal of producing a finished picture story by the end of the session. Course includes basic location lighting instruction and practical hints on both assembling a picture story and approaching people in order to photograph them. Students wishing to accompany their photo essays with written text are encouraged to do so. Class size is limited. Early registration is suggested. [Note: Though the class offers hands-on bxw darkroom instruction, students who prefer to work digitally may do so and are welcome.]
On a personal note: I first started teaching this course several years ago and have found it to be a delightful, simpatico experience that can resonate with photographers of all experience levels. It's also held in a beautiful setting: PhotoWorks' newly refurbished gallery/darkroom/computer lab in the middle of beautiful Glen Echo Park.
Additional note: I also will be offering my popular one-day evening workshop, "Flash Photography Demystified," on Thursday November 9th and Thursday Match 1st.
Hope to see you.
