CLASS 1 – STORYTELLING WITH LIGHT

Kirsten and Tyler will be reviewing pictures submitted by the class that will address how light plays a roll in storytelling in a single picture. You can send in 1 picture for consideration, whether it be a situation in which you used the light well to emphasize the story or even more so scenarios where you felt like you might have struggled. We are looking for ANY documentary based scene whether it be from a wedding, family session, personal project, journalism assignment, street scene, etc.

We are looking for ANY documentary based scene whether it be from a wedding, family session, personal project, journalism assignment, street scene, etc.

CLASS 4 – THE BIG EDIT

This week we will highlight the work of 2 fellow photographers. The volunteer will provide around 1500 raw files from a session. Nothing can be deleted, so if it’s from a wedding or DITL in example, just pick 1500 consecutive files to send in. Kirsten and Tyler will each edit through the set of photographs and then compare the selections to one another. They will talk through why certain pictures work better than other in terms of narrative and storytelling but individually but also as a full collection.

CLASS 5 – THE TIGHT EDIT

This week Kirsten and Tyler will be reviewing the work of 4 students. They volunteers will be asked to send in a fully edited gallery of either a wedding, family session, personal project, assignment, etc. They will be editing/culling the larger edit to several different tight edits: for a blog, social media, website. They will talk about why some pictures work better than others depending on how the picture will be shared.

CLASS 6 – SEQUENCING

This class will be dedicated to helping photographers sequence, or order, their pictures in a way that finds a narrative flow for the viewer. Kirsten and Tyler will invite 4 photographers to submit for the review, sending in tight edits to work with from any session, assignment or personal project hey would like. It could also be a collection of pictures for a main website portfolio.

CLASS 7 – THAT SUCKED

Let’s see your pictures! Kirsten and Tyler will be reviewing pictures submitted that represent scenes/scenarios in which the photographer really struggled to visually articulate the story. Students may submit individual pictures or a selection of pictures representing how they tried to work the scene but felt like they came up short.

WEEK 8 – Open Q&A

You will be invited to submit questions to Kirsten and Tyler ahead of time so they can organize the questions into different topics regarding storytelling photography. This will be the final week so it will be the last opportunity to ask Kirsten and Tyler anything.

Your Instructor

Kirsten Lewis

Kirsten is a documentary family photographer based in Denver, Colorado however her work brings her all over the world, from New Zealand to Dubai, Brazil to Canada, Italy to Hawaii. Although she has been shooting for over fifteen years, it was teaching on Creative Live that really brought her approach to documentary family photography to the forefront as a desirable alternative to the traditional family portrait.

She has been mentoring photographers internationally not only within family photography, but a coach guiding them to find their own unique voice by embracing their personal experiences and encouraging them develop a personal point of view. Kirsten’s talks are known to make you laugh one minute and tear up the next, inspiring her listeners to go confront their fears, identify their insecurities and push forward. Despite the many accomplishments including being regularly featured on the Hu ffington Post, interviews around the world and listed as one of the top 100 photographers on Fearless Photographers, it is her role as a mother and wife to her daughter Byrdie Mae and husband street photographer Gregory Bethmann that brings her the most pride and joy. Well that and any Scrabble victory, which are countless.
