Across six in-person sessions—including a Saturday field trip—students will examine how photographers have worked within and around the constraints of the medium for over 150 years. Through lectures, assignments, and discussion, we’ll study motion, time, detail and the unique properties of the photographic frame, just as John Szarkowski proposed in his classic text, The Photographer's Eye.
This workshop will explore the process of photographing your family and yourself—together or apart. “Family” may be interpreted as either relatives or chosen family; the focus will be on how we as individuals interact with people who shape our lives.

Others make work to ask questions about what these moments mean and why families function the way that they do.
