About
12 students. 9 staff. 3 teams. 5 revolutionary days.
Roots Workshop is an introduction to photojournalism for established photographers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the roots of pure storytelling.
While living under the same roof on the water in Cape Cod, photographers will be divided into three teams of four students, each with two team leaders. Monday is designated as a team building day, with shooting and technical exercises geared toward individual need. Tuesday and Wednesday are reserved for shooting editorial assignments during the day, each unique to Cape Cod, with group editing sessions at night. Students are visited by their instructors each day during their assignment. Thursday is an editing day to prepare for an evening slideshow of the students’ work and a celebratory New England clambake. Students are welcome to stay and relax on Friday!
While Roots is designed to provide an amazing experience on Cape Cod among a group of passionate creative minds, it is most certainly not a fluff workshop. Students will work hard and be critiqued hard. The opportunity for personal growth is enormous given our unprecedented small student-to-staff ratio (2-1). Participants who maximize these resources and engage in the experience to the fullest can immediately apply their newly learned photojournalism skills to their wedding photography.
