This online workshop aims to give participants an overview of how to develop a photography project, from the ideation phase all the way to the project’s completion and publication. An A–Z overview that will help guide you with any current or future projects you plan on embarking upon.
The workshop will take place over two online sessions:
21 June – Three mentor-led sessions focused on different aspects of project development. At the end of each session, participants will receive a small assignment designed to help them apply the concepts discussed.
28 June – Follow-up group session where participants will present their assignments, receive feedback from the mentors, and take part in discussions about their work and future project development.
The workshop features three mentors:
MICAH GREEN
A full-time photojournalist, Micah will share his process for developing both short- and long-term projects. He will discuss project planning, file organization, the importance of writing, and how to pitch stories to different media outlets.
KAYLA GREEN
A full-time journalist (and, yes, Micah’s wife and long-time collaborator), Kayla will share best practices for writing and how strong written storytelling can strengthen and support visual projects.
JORGE DELGADO-UREÑA
