With Stuart Schwartz and Nathan Lomas

Let’s face it—sometimes a photographer needs to be pushed beyond their comfort zones in order to produce exceptionally original work.

The Photo Challenge Workshop is designed for intermediate and advanced photographers who want to take their work to the next level with individually driven photography projects, one-on-one and peer critique sessions, art lectures, and advanced editing instruction.

The Photo Challenge Workshop is approached as a sort of independent study, allowing each student to decide on a photographic topic or genre that they wish to improve upon. Participants will explore their chosen subject matter and hone their series sequencing skills to produce a cohesive body of work each month.

Each workshop session consists of two meetings: one in-depth lecture and discussion catered specifically to each student’s personal work topics, and one group critique of the work produced. In between the two group meetings, participants can schedule a one-on-one session with the instructors for specialized instruction and advice on any work in progress.

Subjects covered may span a wide variety of photographic styles, from landscape to cityscape, portraits, abstraction, and street photography. Photographers may choose to build upon an existing concept or body of work in progress, or delve into something brand new with the encouragement of your classmates and instructors!

Students will participate in all four workshop sessions.  Register before the first session on September 25.
