Writing stories into images:
The narrative potential of composition
​
Instructor: Sarah Pollman
Professional photographer, writer and curator
​
28 October, 2018
​
Compositional strategies can help tell stories. This will be a workshop that includes both theory and shooting . Looking at the work of professional photographers in a gallery (TBD), we will have conversations about how all the elements of photographs work together, and how the composition contributes to the conceptual meaning of the photographs.
​
From there, we will shoot together in Boston’s historic Copley Square, experimenting with composition in order to tell stories with our images.

Architecture & the color of night
​
Instructor: Fran Osborn Blaschke
Professional Photographer
​
19 May, 2018
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION:
In this workshop we will be using our digital cameras to photograph architecture at night. But that's just the start.
We will explore helpful equipment, camera settings and aesthetic considerations to help counter the unique problems associated with this type of photography. Then, by thoughtful study of the light and the color of light at night, we will try to combine the architects’ intentions with our own photographic vision of the subject to create something new and personal.
​
