About Project Fashion Shoot Course
Good fashion photography involves the merger of portraiture, style, and mise-en-scène with the proper utilization of light. Students in this course study portraiture and light as they experiment with concept and style. A designer provides the wardrobe, and we work as a team to develop the art direction, lighting design, styling, sets, and other key elements of production. The class also includes lectures on historical and contemporary topics in fashion photography and an introduction to narrative themes, as well as student critiques and collaborative exercises. This course is limited to 12 students.
This course is offered on-site, July 19-27, 2025 and meets weekly on Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM ET
About Jayne Wexler
Jayne Wexler is a New York-based portrait photographer who has a way of quickly earning people’s trust—creating moments that go beyond the photo—whether she meets them on set, in the street, or in far-flung places. Her portraits are known for their emotional
depth, sense of warmth and playfulness, and genuine essence.
Alongside her work with editorial and advertising clients, Jayne also teaches and guest speaks—sharing her approach to photography, grounded in openness, connection, and storytelling.
She’s published three books of portraiture—Daughters & Mothers (a New York Times bestseller), Girlfriends, and Grandmothers—and spends her off-hours creating portraits, shooting street photography, and contributing her work to nonprofit causes.
Jayne lives between New York City and the Hudson Valley with her husband, Hunter, their son, Justice, and dog, Lancelot.
About Urban Photography - Finding Your Point of View Course
Capturing the essence of a neighborhood reveals its true personality. This class consists of shooting in various neighborhoods –NoLita, Chinatown, the Lower East Side and Bushwick. The course guides students in making images that focus on the people, architecture and subtle details of each area. Students seek out aspects that pique their interest –from the structure of the buildings to the people– creating their own visual record of the neighborhoods. Lessons on framing, depth of field, lighting and composition happen on location, offering students the essential elements to create dynamic photographs. This course is limited to 12 students.
This course is offered on-site, the weekend of August 9-10, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET

About Film Scanning: From DIY to the Expert Scan Course
Did you know that you can get a better scan at home than from your local lab? This weekend workshop immerses students in the myriad ways to scan film. Participants work with some of the most cutting-edge scanning equipment available and learn how to build their own scanning kit at home, starting with many items they might already own. You gain both technical know-how and familiarity with some of the new options for home scanning and color conversion. This course is limited to 12 students.
This course is offered on-site, the weekend of July 26-27, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET
