Spring 2018 – Photography Intensive: Idea-Generation + Image-Making
SEE EVENT DETAILS
PHOTOGRAPHY INTENSIVE: IDEA-GENERATION + IMAGE-MAKINGDaniel Melo4 sessions >> Tuesdays, February 20–March 136:30–9:30pm, $195Prerequisite: Beginner experience in making photographs - students should bring their own working camera either digital or film.
In this photography class, students will shake up their current approaches to make new photographs. With an emphasis on process and the act of looking, we’ll explore each person’s unique vision and perspective while exploring how we can arrive with new photographic work. From the outset, we will be making images and prints during class and becoming immersed in how we can each continue to expand our photographic sensibilities through new ways of making, lively discussions, sharing and lecture. You will walk away with ideas for photographs that will inform future bodies of work as well as with new ways to invigorate your practice.
