Join award-winning photojournalist Daniella Zalcman for “Deep Dive Photojournalism,” a short course organized by the Wake Forest University journalism program and the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting.
This 1.5-credit independent study takes students through the fundamentals of photojournalism: basic photographic skills development and review of more advanced techniques as well as consideration of how journalists develop story ideas, cultivate sources and create their ultimate published reported project. A unique hands-on assignment will involve alternative photo processes and multiple exposure.
The short course involves five in-class sessions:
Thursday, 2/21, Friday, 2/22, Monday, 2/26 and Tuesday, 2/27 6:30 to 9:30 pm.
Students also are expected to complete out of class assignments during the weekend between the in-class sessions. Class size is limited. Students should have 35mm cameras. One final class, date TBA, will be held at the end with journalism professor Justin Catanoso.
