This intensive one-day workshop is led by Dr. Lauren Walsh, a professor and director of the Gallatin Photojournalism Lab at NYU and Andrea Bruce, an award-winning photographer who has covered historic events globally. The workshop entails informative lectures by the teachers and hands-on activities, and participants learn about the value of photojournalism, deepen skills to create powerful visuals, and develop a stronger eye for visual narratives. A background in photography is encouraged, but not required. Participants can use their preferred digital camera (DSLR, smart phone, etc).

Location: Southeast Museum of Photography, Daytona, FL
