Film-Making Class

Learn how to create compelling moving films in this class for photographers wanting to expand their skills.

Film-making is where images and stories collide. Our classes weave together narrative photography and video, guiding you through the art of visual storytelling. You’ll explore the power of photojournalism alongside creative approaches to storytelling photography education, learning how to shape meaning, mood, and emotion through moving and still images. These courses are about more than just technique—they’re about finding your voice and telling stories that stay with people long after they’ve seen them.
