Photography Passion Projects 2-Day

Led by Andrea Sarcos

November 19–20 | 5-8pm (No makeup dates)

Step beyond the technical side of photography and into the world of visual storytelling. This all-levels workshop is designed for photographers who want to develop meaningful, long-term projects with creative intention and mentorship.

Over two days, you’ll refine your artistic voice, explore what inspires you, and learn how to shape your images into a cohesive body of work. You’ll have the opportunity to photograph with the group, add new images to your portfolio, and receive personalized feedback during a one-on-one 10-minute portfolio review with Andrea.

We’ll study the work of photographers whose projects have made lasting impact — discussing how such work is created, funded, and shared. You’ll leave with concrete ideas, inspiration, and a plan to carry your passion project forward.

Workshop Schedule

Day 1 – Learning & Practicing: Explore notable photography projects, participate in a guided shooting assignment, and discuss creative approaches.

Day 2 – Reflection & Review: Share new work, receive individualized feedback, and develop an action plan for your ongoing project.

If you already have a project in progress, please bring a portfolio of 10 images for group review (digital or printed). If not, bring 10 of your favorite photos to begin building your concept. If you have a digital portfolio, please bring it on a memory drive or email it to the instructor.

Materials provided: books, paper, writing utensils and a handout.

Students are invited to bring their camera of choice whether it be film or digital as well as a notebook.

A follow-up workshop on December 10–11 will provide an opportunity to share progress and deepen your practice.

The class is limited to 8 students maximum. Register early to reserve your place.
