"The Personal Photographic Narrative" with Cig Harvey

In short:

Cig Harvey's workshop changed my life.

I feel as though I have turned a corner in my photography. Never before have I felt an intense emotional connection with my work. This past week was an intense photographic and emotional journey for me, but I realized: when that emotional connection is there and in the images, it shows. I have never done work like this before - it has meaning, it has purpose, and it is emotionally charged and aesthetically sound.

The project I started and will continue working on probably naturally lends itself to being emotionally charged, but now I know I have the capability to carry that into other work whenever I start a new project.

What an incredible instructor and person. Cig Harvey's energy and passion for photography is unsurpassed by anyone I have ever encountered before. What a pleasure to meet and work with her. And the fact that on the last day she suggested my bravery shown in my project subject has inspired her to be brave and tackle a really tough, emotional project for her...? I am just honored I could help inspire such a wonderful, genuine, passionate person & photographer.

Best,

Katie
