Join Alessandra Sanguinetti for a six-week online shooting workshop. Alessandra is particularly interested in working with photographers who are ready to take pictures intensely and regularly throughout the workshop, either by continuing an on-going project or starting from scratch.
Each week, we’ll look at new material and talk through the decisions and questions that come with making a project grow. Discussions will weave together the practical and the conceptual: how to approach subjects and gain access, how to navigate ethical questions, while allowing your personal voice to shine through.
To enrich the learning experience, Alessandra will invite guest speakers for informal talks. We’re delighted to confirm Magnum photographer Jim Goldberg and publisher and founder of TBW Books, Paul Schiek. In a special session, Guillermina and Belinda — the protagonists of Alessandra’s book The Adventures of Guille and Belinda and The Enigmatic Meaning of Their Dreams as well as The Illusion of An Everlasting Summer — will join the class to share their perspective, allowing students a rare glimpse into the thoughts of the “photographed” while exploring the ethics of representation.
This workshop is designed as a group class, so a willingness to share your work, give feedback, participate in discussions, and engage with fellow participants is essential. It is a space for those who learn through doing — a space to think with the camera, refine ideas in the field, and liste.
