June 8 - 12
Price: $795 (includes Festival Pass)

In the master class you will meet people who share your commitment and love for the process of making images and telling stories. Here is an opportunity to learn with creative, committed artists whose work inspires you and who will help you master your own creative energy.

David Alan Harvey, Maggie Steber, William Albert Allard and Eugene Richards. Class sizes will be limited to just fifteen students to allow for more intimate and engaging interactions in the classroom. Classes will begin with a morning session (9-11am), move to the Paramount auditorium for the "MASTERS" presentation (11:15-12:15 pm), break for lunch (12:15-1pm) and finish with an afternoon session (1-3pm).

Topics discussed in classes will range from how to develop a photo essay or publish a book to honing one’s personal vision and developing long-term projects. Participants will gain insight from group portfolio reviews and editing exercises. These intense classes are designed to move you beyond your current level, to help you expand your vision, uncover your talents and change the way you see, feel, think and work.

These master classes are open to all Festival guests. Sign-up is limited to 75 students.
