Inspired by photographer Wendy Ewald and a new documentary from Appalshop and POV called, “Portraits and Dreams,” we’re offering Kentuckians a set of workshops with the theme, “My Kentucky.”

In these virtual workshops, you will learn how to see your environments and the people around you in a new way. Discover how incorporating a sense of storytelling into your photographs can elevate your work.

There will be camera-use instruction, including exposure and composition, and suggestions regarding different approaches to subject matter.
  • Ages: Ages 12+ (with kids under age 18 accompanied by an adult)
  • Instructor: Guy Mendes

    • PART A: Sat., Oct. 24, 3-4:30 pm | Instruction, discussion, homework assignments
