Looking Closely at Photographs

In this class we closely study and engage in critical conversations around selected photographs by classical and contemporary masters, including Susan Meiselas, Alex Webb and Yael Martínez as well as examples drawn from the participants’ own work. We consider the emotional, factual, symbolic and ethical meaning of these pictures with an emphasis on articulating the specific ways that photographs function and our responses to them. By looking very closely, we strengthen the critical and perceptual skills involved in both our understanding and how we make new work.
