Description

Drawing on a career which has included work as a still photographer, magazine and newspaper picture editor, new media publisher, and independent media producer and packager, Adam Stoltman takes us on a visual journey with stops at each of these varied yet related destinations. Using examples of work produced in each of these situations, this workshop will give participants a glimpse into the worlds of assignment photography, personal creative work, editorial story and narrative development at magazines and newspapers, new media forms, and film production and packaging. You will emerge with a more thorough sense of how to approach any photographic or visually driven challenge. Working as a team, students will produce one sample project simulating the processes used at major magazines and newspapers, and in new media and film production. A must for anyone wanting to hone their editorial skills.
