Beyond Visual Perception: Photographing with All of the Senses

As photographers, we are intensely-and rightly-concerned about seeing. Yet we perceive with all of our senses, including intuition as well as proprioception, which involves mindfulness of the body's position. This dynamic seminar explores how integrating all of our senses into our imagemaking practices can enable us to create with greater joy, satisfaction, intention, and personal meaning. Weekly critiques in a supportive environment, short readings, in-class exercises, and individual assignments guide students through an expanded journey of creativity. This course is limited to 12 students.

Prerequisite: Intermediate: You are familiar with a camera, whether film or digital. You understand aperture, shutter speed, exposure, white balance, histograms, and how to control focus. You are comfortable editing and processing your images. You may want to learn how to utilize your camera in a more thoughtful and articulate way, or learn more about lighting or how to utilize theoretical concepts in relation to your portfolio of work.

Note:  All camera formats are welcome.

Courses are subject to minimum enrollment. Please register early, within five days of the start-date, to reduce the likelihood of course cancellation and to ensure you receive all course-related materials in time to prepare for class.
