Photography has been a critical tool for storytelling throughout generations. For this fun and educational Family First workshop, photographer & image activist Alvin C. Jacobs, Jr. will lead participants through the history, style and major works of the acclaimed Gordon Parks - one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century, who is known for his deeply rooted commitment to capturing stories that illustrate social injustices through the lens of African-Americans.
Jacobs will guide participants through basic tools to enact a storytelling voice via the art of photography. Participants will have the choice to showcase the photos they take during the session (optional). This workshop is open to participants of all ages and experience levels. Adults and children may use any type of camera they would like–from mobile phone cameras to professional cameras–to engage in this virtual workshop.
Family First is presented by Novant Health.
