Finding Stories and Intimacy in the Everyday
with Michael Robinson Chavez & Ron Haviv
Course Limit: None. (The more, the merrier)
Course Length: 6 Days
The workshop will explore the multi-faceted approaches to international and storytelling photojournalism and help guide you on your own path. Students will learn what is required of a photojournalist, not just in the field but also when it comes to having work published and how to get your work out there. Developing a personal sensitivity, photographic intimacy and visual style will be emphasized. Robinson Chavez and Haviv will encourage participants to work using their instinct rather than formula, combining style and substance.
Combining portfolio reviews, assignments, editing sessions, and dialogue, Ron and Michael will also share their own work and experience as photojournalists. Portfolio reviews will guide each person's narrative direction and then be developed through assignments given during the workshop. Throughout the week, Michael and Ron will help you understand the reality of international and local journalism today and share their tips on what it takes to cover the world and local scene. You will leave with a clearer understanding of what it takes to make intimate photographs in difficult environments and be well along the way to defining your personal path forward.
