About the video: About Photography and Intimacy: Finding Your Voice
Overview
“Personal projects are the perfect platform for you to express yourself and explore what ticks you. Photographing friends and family—people who are willing to be photographed by you incessantly—will teach you how to be close to your subject and to your work. This is key to developing your instinct and response as a photographer and, ultimately, your voice. In this course, I will walk you through the thought process of creating worthwhile photographs that tell the story of the person you're portraying. After the photoshoot, I will guide you through how to review these photographs and talk about the editing and sequencing phase of a project—the most crucial part of photographic storytelling. Finally, I will share how to use personal projects to elevate your portfolio and be hired for what you love to do.”
