Edit like a pro! with Alicia Vera
Whether for a portfolio review, book, website, or social media, learn how to select and sequence images with intention. Through the lens of one body of work, you’ll see how different platforms can alter editing outcomes—and why that matters. This class will also discuss how photography’s limitations can lead to conceptual storytelling approaches.
