Roots Workshop |
July 13-17
2008
Cape Cod, MA
|
Roots
Workshop is an introduction to photojournalism for already-established
wedding photographers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of
the roots of this chosen genre. While living under the same roof at a
rambling farmhouse on the water in Cape Cod, students will be divided
into two teams, each with a leader and shooting mentors. Each day,
students will work on an assigned picture story unique to Cape Cod.
Each night back at the house, team leaders will conduct group editing
sessions. The final night will include a sunset harbor cruise with live
music and a clambake not to be missed! The workshop will culminate with
a slideshow of student work and newspaper mock-ups of each picture
story designed by a graphic designer. The workshop structure combines
elements from both the Foundation Workshop and the Missouri Photo
Workshop (several of our staff are involved with those workshops as
well). This is the only workshop for wedding photographers that begins
with a photo assignment and ends with a finished layout suitable for
publication. While Roots is designed to provide an amazing experience
on Cape Cod and the extreme fun that comes when a group of passionate,
creative minds come together (imagine the 3a photography discussions
around the kitchen table with coffee and pjs), it is most definitely
not a fluff workshop. Students will work hard and be critiqued hard.
The opportunity for personal growth is enormous given our small
student-to-staff ratio (2-1). Participants who maximize these resources
and engage in the experience to the fullest can immediately apply their
newly learned photojournalism skills to their wedding photography. |
