Visual Journals
Workshop Details | Visual Journals
with Quinton GORDON
$195.00
This course will be held at Lúz Studio.
Course Level - L1 + (skill level details) This workshop is open to all abilities.
One of the greatest ways to develop your creativity as image makers is to produce photographs everyday.
In this course we will explore the creative benefits of visual journaling for photographers. Participants will photograph on a daily basis, printing their images and developing a personal visual journal over a six-week period.
Functioning in much the same way that a sketchbook does for a painter, visual journals have been an invaluable creative resource for photographers who strive to hone their visual sensibility and further their creative thinking.
What to bring
- Digital or film camera, of any type. Camera choice is part of the creative aspect.
- Journal - We will discuss journal sizes and formats in the first class and advise participants to purchase their journal after this class.
- You will need access to a printer for creating journal-prints (inexpensive 4x6" prints, index or contact prints are fine)

Enrollment - limit of 6 participants.
