Discover the Workshop

This two-day seminar focuses on the use of a mobile phone in taking photos, video, notes, sketches and audio recordings during a documentary project. This course is taught in a seminar format, with students engaging in discussion about the practical use and possibilities of the mobile phone to create personal memories, citizen journalism, photojournalism and daily visual journaling. In addition, the workshop delves into the creative side of smartphone photography. Learn about vision, creative apps, and storytelling during talks and edit-and-critique sessions.

This two-day virtual class meets via Zoom Video Conferencing software (download free from Zoom.com). An Anderson Ranch staff member co-teaches the class and coordinates the online platform. Further details will be emailed to registrants.
