Call for Instructors and Course Ideas now OPEN

Have you taught a photography class that was a huge hit with students? Do you have an idea for a workshop that the world needs to take? Lensclass is currently looking for photography instructors to submit online workshops ideas. We are currently looking for collaborative, diverse courses that cover a wide range of conceptual or technical subjects that reflect the instructor's passion and expertise. We also encourage collaborations with several instructors.

Courses can take several forms: weekly virtual sessions that meet once a week for at least 3-5 weeks or pre-recorded courses that will be self-paced for students and available for a year after purchase. We will also consider a virtual series of related classes. We encourage this format for collaborations of multiple artists covering different perspectives on a topic. All course types will take place in the Lensclass course modules, including live or pre-recorded lectures, assignments, quizzes, etc. Each class also has an attached course community that allows for interaction, feedback, uploading assignments, polls, etc. We are interested in courses incorporating these features in some way.

We also hope Lensclass can be a collaborative opportunity for more artists to share their skills and inspiration when they may not be able to right now. Instructors and Lensclass will split course fees 50/50, similar to the gallery system. We are primarily looking for fine art photography-focused courses but are open to documentary, photojournalism, or commercial applications if the classes focus on an exciting concept.

This call is free to enter. Send submissions and questions to ask.lensclass@gmail.com. Please be aware we may not be able to respond to everyone depending on the number of entrants. Not every course created for Lensclass in the future will be a result of this call. Past teaching experience, as well as a background as a working artist or freelance photographer is preferred.
