Social Media for Photographers with Sherri Littlefield (Online)

@ About The Griffin Museum and Sherri Nienass Littlefield are pleased to offer this two-session introductory program for photographers seeking to begin using social media in support of their creative practice. Designed specifically for beginners, this course explores and defines what social media is, was, and can be, as well as the implications of its use within the field of photography. In this beginner-friendly course, both emerging and experienced artists with little or no prior social media experience are invited to explore outreach strategies through their photography. Students will examine social media tools, platforms, and applications while developing a greater understanding of online engagement and visibility. Through hands-on activities and discussions, students will explore current and desired audiences, trends, influencer collaborations, and more, helping them build a stronger foundation for navigating online communication and marketing. Students are expected to have a smartphone available during the workshop, as portions of the course will involve live exploration and hands-on activities.
