Jess T. Dugan The Intimate Portrait July 10 to July 15, 2022 Tuition: $800.00 Workshop: 9 AM - 12 PM Discipline: Photography OPEN TO ALL On-site Housing NOT Available - Off-site Housing Options

Making a photographic portrait is an intimate endeavor, requiring both photographer and subject to work together to create a compelling image. The best portraits are often as much a reflection of the maker as they are of the subject. In this workshop, participants will investigate their motivations for making portraits, strengthen their skills working with people, and engage deeply with issues in contemporary photography.
