Between 2022 and 2024, award-winning Dutch photographer and filmmaker Robin de Puy traveled to the US to collect audio, film and photographic portraits of people she met along the way, creating a tableau of a cross-section of a divided nation, and posing the question: in a time of political and social upheaval, what is the truth behind the everyday American?
Capturing the spirit, complexity and intricacies of each person she meets, the result is AMERICAN–a snapshot of unflinching humanity, skillfully brought to life through Robin’s lens. And now she’s here to teach you how to do the same. In this exclusive photography masterclass–including behind-the-scenes footage from her latest trip–Robin teaches us the art of portraiture, covering everything from how to light your subjects, to how to gain their trust, to how to create your own style. A rare look behind the practice of an award-winning artist, this is one lesson you won’t want to miss.
