People used to keep diaries in notebooks or notepads. Today, our diary is our phone: a photo gallery, stories, saved images, links, and chats.

In this course, you'll learn how to create artistic statements from personal archives — one of the most noticeable trends in contemporary photography. And, of course, you'll try putting together your own project! You'll learn to see stories in your photographs, connect them with other images, and transform them into a visual narrative that resonates with others.
