Creative Thinking
In this workshop, you will explore strategies to understand and experiment with the authority of the photograph, considering how elements of a photograph other than its subject determine its meaning, and then investigating possibilities for developing a meaning that embraces a complexity that goes beyond the mainstream. Join Eddie Soloway in a unique workshop experience designed to push your seeing from what is in front of your eyes into the world of abstractions, reflections, layers, movement, and then deeper into the realm of concepts and imagination. Designed for those who are new to self-portraiture, as well as those who might need a push with current self portrait projects, this class studies the history and techniques of self-portraiture, shooting at home, and reviewing photos as a class. In this webinar, Kate Breakey will show you how to extend your vision further and make your images total unique using a variety of art media to hand-color inkjet prints. Students will explore altering and enhancing existing images as well as incorporating visual materials into existing images to create dream-like montages using Photoshop. Join Jonathan Blaustein in a webinar designed to push your work forward. Jonathan will discuss important technical elements of your photography, while also delving into subject matter and personal style. This class is about experimenting with a hands-on approach and pushing the boundaries of what a “typical” photograph is supposed to be. We explore different techniques in creating original imagery (this includes experimenting with different cameras and other visual sources and using multiple images of various sizes), work spontaneously with chance, and turn mistakes into advantages. Contemporary fine art photography transforms ideas into images, and images into a voice. The photographer acts as a channel to which this progression can evolve. This course will investigate this process and use of photography as a tool for individual expression. This highly collaborative workshop will encourage and inspire students to combine text and image to tell their stories in a visual way. This webinar will discuss the logistics of maintaining a professional practice. Topics include cultivating audience and community, funding your work, navigating opportunities that require artist investment, the role of collaboration, finding a structure that works for you as a creative, and setting attainable goals for your art practice as a photographer. Often photographers view what to include as the primary problem in taking a picture; however, an important and less-considered aspect of a photograph’s meaning resides in what we don’t see. In this webinar, Mari Howells will discuss incompleteness in photography and its relationship to the imagination. Every story we tell is the myth of our lives struggling to be heard. This workshop is designed to explore your individual myth, give voice to emotional, political, and personal truth, and create a structure that will carry your story into the world. This highly-experimental class encourages participants to use images and text to spontaneously channel a unique, authentic voice. This workshop will provide participants with innovative strategies to produce images that are provocative, enigmatic, and lyrical. Students will learn how to depict people, places, and histories in unprecedented ways. Through lectures and discussions, exercises and assignments, this class will explore the Social Landscape as other photographers have seen it over that last hundred years. Join photographer Kimberly Witham for a two weekend-intensive workshop focused on developing and refining your still life photography skills. This class is designed to help you expand your approach to photography, to question the “how” and “why” of your technique, and to challenge and understand your creative process. In this workshop we will build a framework for a cohesive vision capable of handling variance and freshness, a vision that can continue for months, years, even decades ahead. Through class lectures, weekly shooting assignments, and in-class exercises based on the ideas in Szarkowski’s book “The Photographer’s Eye”, students will dissect the elements of photographic grammar. In this class for creative nonfiction writers, we will practice tapping into our memories, rebuilding scenes from the past, and writing vividly from within them. Designed for those who are new to self-portraiture, as well as those who might need a push with current self portrait projects, this class studies the history and techniques of self-portraiture, shooting at home, and reviewing photos as a class. Joyce Tenneson returns to the Los Angeles Center of Photography to deliver a new and exciting workshop experience. Designed for photographers of all levels, this workshop will inspire participants to connect with their deeper dreams, reimagining their creative self. In this weekend-intensive workshop, Sam Abell will discuss his technique of seeing in layers, the importance of seeing well, and how to see with more discriminating power. The goal of this workshop is to help each participant discover where they are now and where their work can take them. We all live on social media these days so it’s important to understand how to create stories that can communicate with our audience, be those customers, subscribers, NGO’s, clients or even our children & grandchildren. If you’re a journalist, business owner, advocate, social media influencer or parent, this class will help you learn how to make video stories that will stand out from the herd on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and even TikTok.

Documentary & Social Consciousness
“The Los Angeles Street Collective” picks up where “On the Streets in LA” left off, continuing the camaraderie of shooting together on the street, sharing our work, and getting feedback from each other. This class is about finding ways to create change by photographing in an artful and empowering documentary way. At the same time, the class will demand each student learn and follow the ethics that go along with the profession of social documentary work. In this two-day intensive class, students will learn the art and craft of street photography, led by acclaimed street photographer Ibarionex Perello. Los Angeles offers an enormous array of diverse and ethnic communities, including the hustle and bustle of downtown activity, white picket fences and birds chirping in quiet suburbia, the clicking and cracking of machinery in industrial neighborhoods, and the soft, soothing sounds of waves splashing ashore on the beach. In this class, students will take advantage of this melting pot and participate in a journey to photograph the City of Angles and document this remarkable city. This six-month class is intended to teach students how to shoot candidly on the street, not only from practical experience, but also from studying historic and contemporary street photographers. Join photographer Rinzi Ruiz in a new one-day class designed to provide students with the basics of street photography in just eight hours. This workshop focuses on how to produce a long-term documentary project, giving participants the skills needed to create images that are stylistically and thematically unified. Through lectures and discussions, exercises and assignments, this class will explore the Social Landscape as other photographers have seen it over that last hundred years. This course is designed for those who would like their work to make a difference, and to improve their visual storytelling skills in the process. In this two-day intensive class, students will learn the art and craft of street photography, led by acclaimed street photographer Ibarionex Perello.

Editorial
The decision to publish a photography book and the book itself can be as complex or as simple as the artist may make it. The search for the ideal object for your photography should prompt a personal discussion that ranges from pragmatic to the philosophical – the process can be exciting and/or daunting and the earlier considerations should bring up many questions to ponder before setting out on the journey. Elinor Carucci’s intimate explorations of her own life have informed powerful bodies of work, which boldly consider the imperfections of the human condition and the ruthless passage of time.

This workshop, designed specifically for fine art photographers, focuses on developing artists’ portfolios over a six-month period of time. This five-month, seven session workshop continues the work accomplished in the initial “Publishing A Photography Book” class. In this webinar, Kate Breakey will show you how to extend your vision further and make your images total unique using a variety of art media to hand-color inkjet prints. This two-day workshop serves as a hands-on introduction to this demanding but beautiful photographic process, invented by Frederick Scott Archer in the mid-19th Century. Students will explore altering and enhancing existing images as well as incorporating visual materials into existing images to create dream-like montages using Photoshop. This class is about experimenting with a hands-on approach and pushing the boundaries of what a “typical” photograph is supposed to be. We explore different techniques in creating original imagery (this includes experimenting with different cameras and other visual sources and using multiple images of various sizes), work spontaneously with chance, and turn mistakes into advantages. Contemporary fine art photography transforms ideas into images, and images into a voice. The photographer acts as a channel to which this progression can evolve. This course will investigate this process and use of photography as a tool for individual expression. Los Angeles offers an enormous array of diverse and ethnic communities, including the hustle and bustle of downtown activity, white picket fences and birds chirping in quiet suburbia, the clicking and cracking of machinery in industrial neighborhoods, and the soft, soothing sounds of waves splashing ashore on the beach.
