INTERNATIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND MULTIMEDIA WORKSHOPS

Arlene develops and leads prestigious small-group international workshops that provide unique travel adventures and high-quality photography education. These workshops are for the serious amateur with a working knowledge of his or her camera as well as for professional photographers. Typically spanning a 10- to 14-day period, each workshop provides an exciting immersion experience—immersion in both the culture of the target destination and in acquiring new or sharpened photographic skills under widely divergent shooting conditions. Participants learn how to work effectively in foreign cultures, including how to interact with individuals who might not speak their language, and how to take dynamic photographs that tell a compelling story.

Future Workshops

Arlene leads "The Personal Project: Creative Lighting, Style and Storytelling" a week-long intensive workshop in partnership with an international organization. The workshop focuses on how to produce a photo essay and/or videos with impact. Lectures, critiques, technical demonstrations, and on-location shoots are all part of this in-depth multimedia workshop experience. Foreign participants study and photograph along side students from the host country. This provides an insider's perspective and the ability to gain access to events, activities and subjects that might otherwise be accessible only to the local population.

Arlene has taught "The Personal Project" at ROSPHOTO, the Russian State Center of Photography in St. Petersburg, Russia and at the Three Shadows Photography Center in Beijing, China.
