Photography Workshop with Carmen Ordoñez

Photographer Carmen Ordoñez leads a workshop at the Archer Heights branch on documentary photography, drawing from her ongoing project documenting Chicago's lowrider scene. On Wednesday evening, July 29, from 6:00 to 7:30 PM, she talks about how she built a long-term photography practice through curiosity and consistency, then offers practical advice for starting your own project. The session covers making meaningful images, building trust with subjects, and developing a body of work over time, with a look at handmade photobooks and a conversation about turning projects into zines or exhibitions. Registration is required.
