In this two-day series, you will be introduced to the aesthetic, conceptual, and technical approaches to lens-based image-making. This workshop will focus on contemporary and experimental approaches to creating concept-driven photographs. Students will be familiarized with photographers, movements, and themes within the discourse of contemporary photography. You will become versed in editing photographs for display or exhibition, creating a digital photo-zine, and also explore experimental double exposure photographs. This is an incredible opportunity to use your voice in times of crisis, and emerge with a new set of tools to traverse and make sense of the world around you.

This online course will be broken into two sessions:
