Summer 2008
Pre-College Programs
FOCUS on Photojournalism

Spend Your Summer Immersed in the Pre-College
Experience at the Corcoran.

Headquartered in the digital labs at the Corcoran’s Georgetown Campus, FOCUS on Photojournalism offers students the opportunity to enhance their photography skills while exploring the world of photojournalism in the nation’s capital. During this two-week residential program, students attend daily classes that delve into real-life situations. Award-winning Washington-based photographers visit the program to show their work and talk about their areas of expertise. Assignments take students behind the scenes at locations such as the Capitol, the White House, the National Mall, and the new Washington Nationals Stadium.
NOTE: STUDENTS NEED TO BRING A DIGITAL CAMERA

Past lecturers and faculty include: Pablo Monsivais, AP; Jeff Hutchens, Getty Images; Jay Clendenin, Polaris Images; Gary Fabiano, SIPA Press; Andrea Bruce, Joe Elbert, Preston Keres, and Melina Mara, The Washington Post; and Michael Conner and Joe Eddins, The Washington Times.
