Making a powerful image is one thing, but putting together a powerful, multi-image story is a whole new world. This virtual, 4-part workshop is for photographers of all levels and styles of photography (documentary, portraiture/self-portraiture, nature, and more) who wish to learn how to create, curate and narrate a visual story. By learning to apply our “Storytelling for Change” formula to story making, participants will come away with a valuable skillset that will make them an asset in any space.
Our Ethical Storytelling Certification is not mandatory, but highly recommended, before taking this course.
