LONG FORM PROJECT DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOP 

Session I: Virtual, November, 2025
Session II: Virtual, October, 2026

Tuition: The core workshop is structured as a year-long community of practice; consisting of two immersive sessions with individual coaching meetings and check-ins scheduled in between. Each session is $975, for a total of $1975 for one year.

This intensive, hands-on and immersive visual workshop will be beneficial to photographers of all levels looking to dive into the ins and outs of long form visual storytelling, while developing their own personal and long-term projects.

Long-term documentary work demands a high level of commitment, creativity, persistence, planning and strategy. Our approach to community and skill building combines non-traditional resources, using poetry, music, literature, film, trauma-informed care and critical theory to help inform how we craft visual narratives. Throughout the workshop year, participants will dig into the logistical and emotional challenges unique to developing long-term visual documentary projects.

We will cover practical steps to building networks that support economic, communal and mental well-being as well as how to safely navigate challenging environments. Through hands-on assignments, guest speakers, editing and critique sessions as well as surveying past and contemporary works, participants will come away with new ideas, actionable strategies, and a refreshed vision for their own project development.

The year-long cohort model of the core workshop is designed for thoughtful, deep and sustained project support and community building--in addition to engaging with a wide range of visual storytelling approaches and topics, participants will formulate strategies and a working edit specific to their project by completion of the second session. We strogly encourage participants who can commit to both sessions and year-round coaching/engagement to apply (note: individual coaching times will be flexible to the schedule of participants and instructors).

APPLICATIONS WILL OPEN SPRING OF 2025


All skills are welcome, however, those wanting to pursue long-term projects and/or those interested in delving deeper into personal creative work are best suited for this workshop.
