SUMMARY:The Documentary Photography Narrative: Creating and Publishing a Project with Marissa Roth (Online Learning - Six Sessions)
DESCRIPTION:Online Learning\nThrough image making\, critique\, historical overview\, and editing\, this workshop will explore how to tell visual stories and form a cohesive narrative body of work that can be published. The workshop is open to those who may be just beginning this path and to those who may have a project nearing completion.\n\nStudents will have opportunities to present work and the class will collectively consider sequencing\, narrative\, and potential strategies to create a personal vision that resonates. We will discuss what strategy and personal approach will best communicate complex social\, cultural\, personal\, or political issues. Further\, we will explore what makes a body of work interesting and publishable.\n\nDuring the workshop you will be exposed to the work of great documentary photographers\, as well as to writings about the documentary tradition. Most importantly\, you will photograph and immerse yourself in spirited exchanges of ideas as we attempt to reduce a tiny area of the moving world to a set of still images\, creating pictures with strong personal points of view that have the power to tell a story in a unique\, convincing\, and visually compelling way.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n\n\nBorn and raised in Los Angeles\, Marissa Roth is a photojournalist\, fine art and documentary photographer. Her editorial photo assignments for prestigious publications including The New York Times\, have taken her around the world. She was part of the Los Angeles Times staff that won a Pulitzer Prize for Best Spot News\, for its coverage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots.\n\nRoth’s global documentary project\, One Person Crying: Women and War\, which spans 35-years of her photography and addresses how women have been directly impacted by war and conflict is a travelling exhibition\, with a forthcoming book.\n\nHer published books include\, Infinite Light: A Photographic Meditation on Tibet\, with a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama\; Burning Heart: A Portrait of The Philippines\; and The Crossing\, a poetic photographic study of the Atlantic Ocean. Cantata: In Isolation\, a photographic memoire about her pandemic experience\, is also a forthcoming book.\n\nWitness to Truth\, a portrait project of Holocaust survivors commissioned by The Museum of Tolerance/Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles\, contains 104 of her photographs and is on permanent exhibition at the museum.\n\nRoth’s work has been widely exhibited\, and is in both public and private collections. In addition\, she is a curator\, lecturer and writer. She is a Fellow at the Royal Geographical Society in London\, and is also an advisor and Chair of the Jury Committee for Earth Photo\, a joint photography competition between the Royal Geographical Society and Forestry England.\n\nView instructor profile here.
