The Still Life

In this course, we explore the field and practice of still life photography. We examine its historical and conceptual evolution and study the work of various artists, including André Kertész, Catherine Opie, Farah Al Qasimi, Ohan Breiding, Laura Letinsky, Irving Penn, Leslie Hewitt, Willa Nasatir, Lucas Blalock, and others. At the beginning of the course, you create still life images through weekly exercises designed to introduce you to specific approaches within the genre. As the course advances, you embark on a self-determined project that utilizes still life to address emerging and pressing themes within your practice.
