Sequencing and Narratives with Erik Mace

Tuesdays April 12th - May 17th via Zoom

7 - 8:30 pm EDT

8 person limit.

Explore how small changes in how you sequence your work can impact your narratives and their emotional tension. We’ll consider the influence of sequencing choices, the pauses between images, and the associations that develop through those choices. If you’re new to image sequencing or an image-maker who would like to work through a specific project, this group will help you think about how multiple images communicate in relation to themselves. Whether you’re interested in photo series, books, or digital formats, you’ll have the opportunity to test out and discuss sequence variations with the group.

Participants should either come with an in-progress project or be interested in starting a new project based on an existing set of photos. The goal by the end of the practice group is for each participant to have a final sequence of images to use for a book project.

All practice groups are offered on a sliding-scale. This is a trust-based system, so please give what you can. Your donations support our facilitators and our ongoing project.

Participants in this practice group will be given first priority sign-up for Part II: Self-publishing Photobooks
