Finding Your Vision: Weekend Workshop with Alex Webb & Rebecca Norris Webb

Class Type: Workshop
When: Friday, July 17–Sunday, July 19, 2015
Where: The Cleveland Museum of Art

Do you know where you're going next with your photography–or where it’s taking you? Taught by Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, this intensive weekend workshop will help photographers begin to understand their own distinct way of seeing the world and figure out their next step photographically—from deepening their own unique vision to the process of discovering and making a long-term project that they’re passionate about. A workshop for serious amateurs and professionals alike, from students to seasoned photographers, the workshop will include an editing exercise; a choice between an optional photography editing assignment or long-term project review; and visits to museum galleries, including a guided walk-through of the exhibition My Dakota: Photographs by Rebecca Norris Webb.
