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. Some artists make work about family to stop time, to commemorate everyday actions and emotions. Others make work to ask questions about what these moments mean and why families function the way that they do.
Through 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.
