All Summer Photography Courses (Full Listing)
As storytellers, photojournalists and documentary photographers create images, both still and moving, that record the history of our culture, evoking the momentous and the everyday circumstances of contemporary life. In recent decades, Photography, Photojournalism and the Documentary tradition have been transformed by digital technology; the dissemination of these images has radically increased to feed new modes of consumption.
Working with accomplished photojournalists, students will have the opportunity to explore social, cultural, political or personal issues to tell a compelling story. Students will work through various forms of nonfiction visual storytelling and will learn to consider the part their narratives play in our media driven society. Courses will cover topics such as documentary processes and practices, DSLR Video for Photographers, and Print-on-Demand Book Publishing. The program will be accompanied by a lecture series and exhibition of work by the instructors and students. Curated by Diane Evans.
What is an Institute? Each year, Emily Carr Continuing Studies offers suites of intensive, focused programming in specific practice areas. From one week to four weeks in length, Institutes provide a venue for like-minded participants to meet, learn, and further develop their abilities in specific areas of interest.
