"VISION-COHERENCE-NARRATIVE"

Understanding how to develop one’s Portfolio through concept and visual storytelling.

The objectives of the course are:

• Finding our creative expression a direction and an audience.
• Cohesively create that visually appealing story we wish to tell.
• Taking our creative process beyond the ordinary.

This short course will focus on understanding the true meaning behind one's individual visual storytelling process. This will give one a direction toward how images collectively transform into our personal expression through meaningful visual imagery.

This is a process that helps our artistic and visual sensibility beyond the ordinary with a purpose.

Our learning includes the hardest, yet the most important part of the final storytelling. The final challenge will be in looking and relooking at everything we have put together over time to choose only the right images, create the best link from the beginning to the end, and understand the importance of self-critique.

This course is designed and intended to help one understand the process of building a cohesive photography portfolio for:

• Students interested in applying to photography schools abroad
• Aspiring Photographers submitting for publications, and competitions
• Budding Photographers planning an exhibition in the near future.
