The Art of Sound and Motion in Photography
November 15 & 16
Paid Workshop – Cheryl Diermyer
As photographers, our default is to write with images. In this two-day workshop you explore writing with words that compel your audience to listen, to look, and to see the story within your photographs. You are guided through the process of producing the story you most want to tell. Including, writing a compelling narrative, recording narration, adding supporting images, text, and soundtrack to weave together a captivating visual narrative. The output is typically video, but the process you will learn works well for books and other forms of publication, even your digital portfolio. You will be introduced to a variety of free digital tools to support your storytelling process. You can expect to walk away with a fully produced digital story. Your digital story can make the perfect gift for a loved one or a meaningful contribution to the larger mission of your professional work.

Presented by Cheryl Diermyer
As a CBS News Video Journalist Cheryl would capture the stories within the motion of every day and share these stories with a worldwide audience. Today, that same deep attention and reverence for following the thread to where the meaning lives and where the spirit shines infuses her photography and digital storytelling. For several years she enjoyed her career in higher education as a teaching professor and an Associate Director of Education Innovation. Her certification in digital storytelling from the StoryCenter in Berkeley, CA was a pivotal experience as it reminded Cheryl that photography is a central part of who she is. She returned to her first passion, the visual image and the stories within. People and their stories are at the heart of what draws her to photography.
