Environment in Focus: Using Photography for Environmental Advocacy
SEE EVENT DETAILS
Adults and teens are invited to take this workshop, held across two Saturdays with a photography assignment to work on during the two weeks between the two sessions: May 11 (1-4 pm) and May 25 (1-4 pm).
May 11 will focus on familiarizing participants with the historical precedent of photographers who explored environmental issues in their photography, and how their work affected public policy. In addition, we will discuss the work of contemporary photographers whose environmental work is influential and centers around environmental advocacy today.
May 25 will focus on developing a long term photography project of their own. Participants will be taken through the steps of creating a long term photography project from start to finish including: brainstorming, technical equipment, the logistics of location shooting, editing and sequencing, and final presentation options for their project.
This workshop is created and organized by Barbara Boissevain, a photographer whose work focuses on environmental issues relevant to the residents of the Silicon Valley. She is currently featured in Art/Act: Local - Sea Change, on view at the David Brower Center through May 29.
