Virtual - In The Field - Workshop : The Making Of A Picture
A 3 Day In-The-Field Mentoring Experience, from Shooting to Culling to Final Slideshows
Welcome to the Virtual - In The Field - Workshop!
In this online course you will follow Kirsten Lewis for three days as she mentors 6 different students in the homes of 6 families across Denver. This course includes over 24 hours of video material. Video material includes approximately 2 hours of filming at the home of each family as Kirsten guides and mentors her students while they shoot. Following each day's mentoring sessions are contact sheet reviews, where Kirsten spends 40 minutes with each student looking through the images that they shot during the day. On the last day of the workshop you will be able to watch Kirsten go through each students final 200 photos and select the top 30 for a slideshow to be presented to the families. In addition, there are 5 Q&A videos of Kirsten answering questions
from students who were watching the workshop when it was streaming live, a round-table discussion with the students one month after the workshop took place, and extra Q&A and informal footage interspersed throughout the Contact Sheet Reviews.
