STORIES WITH NO WORDS is a multi-day, three-session photo workshop series hosted at Goldmark Cultural Center by Wildart Creative and is supported in part by The City of Dallas Office of Arts and Culture.

Whether you love taking selfies, snapping candid shots with an old-school point & shoot digicam, or you know your way around with a DSLR, these sessions will help you use your camera to create dynamic, powerful stories through portraiture. Session 1 (The Art of Portraiture) is Saturday, July 11 from 1-5pm, Session 2 (Creating Your Story) is your choice of a morning or evening photo walk on Wednesday, July 15, and Session 3 (Refining Your Story) is Saturday, July 18 from 1-5pm. The work you create in the workshop will then be a part of the Stories With No Words gallery showcase at Ruth Andres Gallery in August!

The sessions will be led by veteran photographers hype shooter of Wildart and Peyton Mixon of Mixon It Up Photography.

Session 3: Refining Your Story
Working in a digital darkroom

For our final session you'll grab your laptop, tablet, or smartphone and return to Goldmark Cultural Center to craft your own digital darkroom.

The photographers will introduce you to both free and commercially available software that will allow you to examine, edit, and refine your portraits. You'll be taught both the technical skills of how to adjust framing and exposure, as well as how to make choices based on your creative vision.
