Storytelling Through Photography

About this course

Photographs tell stories in ways words cannot, and this class invites you to fully immerse yourself in Swedish life and tell stories with your camera. Together, we utilize photography as a means of making sense of your time abroad and reflecting on your life experiences in general. You engage with the medium of photography, critically analyze examples of photojournalism, and learn about the theories and historical tradition that your photos reference.

Course Note: Please be aware that this is not a technical photography foundation course.
