When art is the goal of photography, you need to hone your ideas and make sure that the resulting images reflect what those ideas were in the first place. This means shooting with a heightened degree of concept, preparation, and purpose—skills that are essential in developing a consistent yet evolving personal style.

In this class, David Samuel Stern will share with all levels of photographers, artists, and designers a template for using photography in a calculated way that reinforces personal direction. Students will then follow David on-set, where he and his team put these preparations into meticulous practice.

In this class you'll learn a framework for honing your interests into deliberate, art-oriented photographs. Students will be able to post their own inspiration images and preliminary sketches, along with their photographic results.
