Photo Gallery: The Alexia Fall Workshop

For more than two decades, the Alexia Fall Workshop has been an opportunity for Newhouse visual communications students to hone and develop their multimedia skills under the guidance of coaches and faculty at the top of their fields. At this year’s workshop from Oct. 17-20, students spent that Friday uncovering stories nestled in the daily life of Baldwinsville, New York, from the bustle in village shops and restaurants to the entire day at C.W. Baker High School culminating with the Bees’ football team winning that night.

On Saturday morning, students fanned out around the village again to photograph scenes around Seneca River where Lock 24 still operates before spending the remainder of the weekend transforming these experiences into photo galleries and multimedia projects. A showcase of the workshop’s images and stories will take place at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 14, at Baker High’s main auditorium.

Take a look back at the amazing work of students, faculty and coaches from this inspiring weekend.
