ABOUT AMANDA’S CLASS:
Documentary photography captures real-life stories as they unfold, highlights social change, and, often, simply captures everyday life. In this class, former Official White House Photographer Amanda Lucidon inspires and guides a beginning audience into a career as a documentarian. Through a mix of sharing her own journey and providing insightful questions and actionable steps, Amanda helps budding photographers refine their goals and focus their efforts.

Utilizing her untraditional path and experiences, Amanda will discuss how to improve your photography through creative storytelling and how to grow professionally. Rather than sharing basics like exposure settings and post-processing how-tos, Amanda leads photographers on a path of self-discovery through photography tips on creativity, challenges, and launching a career in documentary photography.

As one of only a few female White House Photographers in history, Amanda talks through how creativity, resilience, and community helped her land a role documenting the American President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama from 2013-2017. Through her journey and a series of actionable steps and questions, you’ll learn to turn your own creative passions into a career focused on the issues close to your heart.

REVIEWS

Allie Merrill
Amanda’s class was so insightful, and she has a lot of wisdom to offer when it comes to documentary photography. I loved hearing her perspective on making time for creativity, combating the idea of perfectionism, and her stories about her time photographing Michelle Obama. Definitely worth the time and money, and I would highly recommend the class!

Alan
A great investment. Amanda shares more than a traditional photo/creative workshop in this series. Her instruction will lead a person at any level of their career to produce better work by focusing on key areas of personal development. She reveals this insight thoughtfully, with humor and in a depth that’s rare. A fun experience.
