Summer Intensive Program in Visual Storytelling

Study in Turin, Italy, with visiting faculty from the International Center of Photography (ICP)!

This sixteen-day intensive—from July 2–17, 2024—provides a deep dive into documentary photography while introducing you to the tools necessary to make effective visual stories about the world. CAMERA, in partnership with the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York City, offers a unique opportunity to study with ICP faculty in Turin, Italy during the summer. Designed for both the working professional and the emerging imagemaker this immersive experience offers photographers with an accelerated environment to develop their visual voice while providing the tools necessary to make effective work in the ever-changing world of visual storytelling. During this densely packed workshop, participants take a deep dive into understanding the intricate aspects of what it means to create visual stories with photographs while exploring how their work can live as a zine, an interactive website or a group of photographs hanging on a wall in an exhibition.

Each photographer will work on a short story of their choosing while exploring their individual voice as an image maker. Through fieldwork, critiques, and the honing of editorial and technical skills, this program encourages a collaborative environment where participants engage in meaningful dialogue with one another to broaden their way of working and seeing. The purpose is to produce content that has depth and substance. Group instruction, critiques, and individual meetings with faculty offer the unique opportunity to get hands-on advice and discover one’s individual path as a visual storyteller.

This summer intensive aims to bolster one’s personal voice with rigor that encourages professional practices and unique perspectives. The synergy of team teaching inspires a creative environment full of diverse points of view and strategy.

Those who participate may be automatically admitted to the One Year Documentary Practice Programme or the ICP Creative Practice Programme and may apply—by June 15—for a three-month internship in Amsterdam at FUTURES.
