Session 1: Showing Up
This session is about building a daily photography practice that actually fits into your life. We’ll talk about showing up without pressure, perfection, or productivity goals, using the work and practices of photographers who have shared how they return to making again and again. You’ll leave with simple prompts and structures to help you keep coming back to your camera.
Session 2: Staying With the Images
Here we slow things down and spend time with the images themselves. We’ll look at recent work alongside photographers who use editing, sequencing, and repetition as part of their practice, noticing patterns and quiet shifts that emerge over time. This session treats editing as a way of understanding your work—not fixing it.
Session 3: Sustaining the Practice
The final session focuses on what happens after the class ends. We’ll look at photographers who have spoken openly about maintaining a long-term practice, and use those references to reflect on writing, intention, and realistic next steps. The goal is clarity, not closure—and leaving with a practice you can actually keep.
