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.
Students will be assigned to one of three groups taught by our
team of instructors: David Alan Harvey, Maggie Steber, or Alex
and Rebecca Norris Webb. After sign-up, students may request
a specific instructor on a first-come first-served basis. Class
sizes will be limited to just twenty-five 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
