Brooks Jensen
Types of Projects

Tuesday January 20, 7:30 PM

Presentation

Brooks Jensen is the editor of Lenswork magazine and is a believer that you should shoot a series of images that tell a more complete story than is possible with a single image. In this presentation, he will discuss the types of projects you can undertake to develop a body of work telling the story of a subject. This presentation will give you ideas on how to select topics for your own projects to shoot as multiple images.
