Learn documentary photography from a former National Geographic photographer! Susie would love to work with you during her upcoming workshops. You can also book her individually or as a group. Are you hoping to learn how to use a new camera, put together a book from a special vacation, develop narrative flow in a project or develop a workflow in Lightroom or Bridge? Or do you just want to talk photography? She will cater your time together to your needs, your schedule and your development.
Susie Post-Rust has been mentoring students since she began working as a photographer. Most recently, she has taught at Duke University's Center for Documentary Studies since 2003. She has worked one-on-one with hundreds of students, both undergrad and continuing education. Previous to coming to Duke, Susie taught at Western Kentucky University, as well as in many workshops including the Missouri Photo Workshop, Mountain Workshops and YWAM's Photo Schools. She looks forward to hearing from you!
PHOTOGRAPHY: What makes images compelling? Learn to understand your light, composition and emotional content. We will take pictures and discuss them, learning from our own work and that of others. If you have a camera that is NOT on your phone, we will cover basic camera functions so you understand how to get the most from it. With almost 20 years of teaching at Duke, Susie wants to share this learning experience with you!
Next workshop starts June 12, 2025 and consists of 6, 2-hour sessions.
Have you been on an amazing vacation, and you want to edit and create a book to remember everything? Or maybe a special book for a child's birthday? Susie can help you curate a book from your images. You will leave this three-hour workshop with a book you can get printed.
POST-PRODUCTION: Taking beautiful or interesting images is just the first step. How do you choose choose, organize, and compile you images? This can be daunting when you are not familiar with the process. You will learn to import, organize, edit, process, and prepare your images for dissemination. You will need to have the Adobe Suite on your laptop.
Workshops consist of 3 two-hour sessions. Upcoming workshop will be taught in conjunction with summer photo workshop.
Susie will begin by consulting with you on where you are photographically. Your time together will be tailored to your needs. Before booking, Susie will have a consultation with you to learn what you need. Your time will be scheduled and formed in response to that conversation. Because of her years of teaching, she has resources such as videos, handouts, etc that she can provide to you before or during your time together. Your eight hours can be scheduled as one day or divided into as many different meetings as you prefer.
Other packages available. 20 hours @ $1500.
