VERMONT EDITING MASTERCLASS

DESCRIPTION :

In the world of fine art and documentary photography it is essential that work is well edited. Whether preparing for portfolio reviews, book proposals, gallery shows or a magazine story, a solid foundation in the fundamentals of editing and sequencing are necessary tools in the current art market. We’ve all been there: wallowing in hundreds of images, each a little different from the next. What to choose? In this five-day workshop photographer Magdalena Solé to help you hone your eye for efficient self-editing. You will learn to edit large bodies of work in a practical way towards selection of the best images and how to quickly differentiate between good pictures and those that are not. You will also learn how to create a consistent look, develop a narrative theme and practice the art of sequencing.
