A Workshop in Personal Photography and Vision. Develop your inner eye and your photographic voice. This one-week course will help you discover new possibilities, expand your visual interests and add new energy to your work. Lectures examine the work of major photographers in specific fields, thus providing a context for each day's work.
Discussions cover theory, history, and technical concerns.
Afternoons are spent working in the field on specific assignments, each designed to awaken your eye and strengthen your ability to deal effectively with new subject matter in a highly personal way. The afternoon is spent photographing spaces, capturing the corner of a room, photographing a farmyard, backyard or porch. This day we photograph things, an object's integrity, essence and its place as defined by the space around it. This assignment is to produce a single, complex photograph which expresses an emotion, concept or idea. Final Day Saturday morning is a final review of the week's work, with an assessment of each participant's progress, new ground broken, discoveries made and the direction in which each student will leave Rockport.
