With the advent of so many means to produce project-oriented work, the process of working through a project from concept to finished piece can be a challenge — especially for photographers who are so used to working with the individual “greatest hits” type image-making that has dominated fine art photography for so many decades.
- What if your subject leads you to more than one image — indeed beyond the image and into a larger scale project?
- How does one define a project?
- How do you manage it?
- How do you overcome the barriers?
- How do you get unstuck?
- How do you keep the momentum flowing and the project progressing toward its conclusion?
- As far as that goes, how do you conclude it?
- And when?
These and other issues are all part of the learning curve for project-oriented photography — the kind of work that often ends up as a monograph, PDF publication, an exhibition, or a web presentation.
In this workshop, I’ll be joined by a true contemporary master of photography, Huntington Witherill. His experience and examples offer a practical look at how an accomplished and productive photographer has worked with projects and completed them— in fact, done so successfully for years. Bring your projects to this workshop — finished or unfinished — and we’ll focus on the processes needed to bring your photographic projects to completion. |

This workshop will also include critique sessions, so bring work you'd like to have reviewed by the instructors. We'll concentrate on comments that will move your project toward a finished, unified body of work, rather than a series of unrelated prints. We'll discuss style issues, presentation consistency, and elements of finishing a project professionally.
