Basic Web Design for Photographers
This is a beginning level workshop designed to help tech-shy photographers take control of their online presence. Whether you ae looking to migrate from a platform that is not serving you well, or you are starting from scratch. If you find the process overwhelming, this workshop is for you. In this workshop you will learn how to creating a clean, well-structured website that highlights your work, and is easy to maintain. You will be guided through the basics of creating a portfolio-based website using the Wix “drag and drop”, no-code platform. In the 4 workshop sessions you will learn how to modify a Wix template to create customized home, contact and about pages; as well as image galleries and a primary gallery catalog page. We will also discuss website design, menu and site structure, search engine optimization (SEO) basics within the Wix tools set, and moving or adding a personal url to your Wix site.
To get the most out of this workshop, participants should be prepared to come to the first class with a short bio and headshot, at least one edited portfolio (or body) of work, and any artist statements that accompany the work. If this is not possible, stock or place holding images and text can be used where necessary, as these can be easily updated at a later time.

As an artist, musician and graphic designer, Nicole LeCorgne has been designing promotional graphics and building her own websites, as well as consulting with fellow artists in these areas, for over 20 years. As an arts administrator and curator, Nicole views to artist’s websites on a regular basis, and often makes hiring or curatorial decisions based on how well those sites highlight an artist’s work.
Originally from New Orleans, LA, Nicole LeCorgne is a photographer specializing in wet plate collodion and historic printing processes. She developed a love for darkroom processes and photography as fine art while an undergraduate at University of New Orleans, but spent the greater part of her career as a percussionist, educator, and ethnomusicologist specializing in music of the Middle East before returning to the darkroom and fine art photography.
Nicole is a Fulbright scholar with an MA in Ethnomusicology from Wesleyan University, and an MFA in Photography from Savanah College of Art and Design. She has photographed in Saudi Arabia for Aramco World Magazine, and has work included in collections such as the Smithsonian Institution and the Awagami Paper Museum in Japan.

Environmental advocacy and conservation will continue as a prominent concern for years to come. Photography’s strength as a visual form of communication takes a vital role in advocacy. This workshop will cover various historical, philosophical, aesthetic and technical approaches to contemporary, expressive landscape photograph, while examining our own personal responses to the landscape and environmental concerns through our own photography.
With the growing importance of video usage in social media, this workshop will focus on how to get in on the action. In this two-hour introduction to Utilizing Video for Social Media, we will walk through a variety of social media video features and iPhone apps for video. We will also look at ways to edit short, interesting clips in Premiere Pro, optimize settings for exporting video for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, as well as how to use Reels and Tik Tok. Note: This is a reschedule for the September 8, 2021 class. If you were registered for that class, you do not need to register again.
Learn to write about your photography and craft effective and convincing artist statements. Photographer and author, Micah Cash, will walk you through what makes a compelling artist statement, and how to articulate your process and concept for a variety of outlets – including project proposals, grant applications, and long-form essays for publication. Participants will workshop their artist statements with the group and learn how to adapt their narratives for exhibitions and publication.
We’ve reached a turning point where a photographer is expected to understand the mechanics of video as well as photography. The lines between the still photographer and videographer are blurred. While you can make a respectable living shooting mainly - or only - photography, the market is opening wider and wider for artists who can do both. This 4-week workshop will take you from concept to creation to critique of a personal video project
