Class Overview:
I am so grateful to now be in my 11th year of my photography career. During this time, I nurtured and grew a successful portraiture business and made an award-winning transition into fine art photography. I have also had the incredible opportunity to teach and mentor hundreds of students along the way.
In this Project Development & Fine Art course, students will learn the necessary skills to move into the world of fine art photography, from brainstorming a concept to developing a cohesive body of work. Students will receive lessons on topics such as concept development, the process of developing a cohesive body of work, how to prepare and present a portfolio, essential documents, and writing an artist statement. This class is formatted to allow students to be individually guided and mentored based on the place that each student is uniquely at in his or her photography journey. Daily lessons will encourage students to reflect and critically think about their current photography journey, the stories or message they wish to share, and the direction they wish to head.
Throughout this three-week course, I will share detailed fine art photography information, while also assisting and guiding students with their individual creative ideas and projects. I will share personal examples of my journey from a commissioned portrait photographer to a fine art photographer. I will also feature and discuss established fine art photographers who have inspired me along the way.

Student Reviews:
“This class was packed with information. It answered every question I had without me having to ask. I think Deb went above and beyond what many teachers normally do. I would definitely recommend signing up for this class. I honestly didn't feel any less being a silent student. It was so thorough and covered so much. I have a whole new level of respect for Deb. She is not only a talented artist but she has a wonderful way with people and educating.” -Sharon Covert
