Reading the Sky: Weather’s Role in Photographic Storytelling (Online)

Within every element of the weather, there are hidden metaphors. So, by reading the meteorological clues within a still photograph, we can often decipher what the photographer was trying to communicate. For example, the clouds in Stephen Shore's U.S. 97, South of Klamath Falls, Oregon, July 21, 1973 (1973), or the fog in Sally Mann's Deep South, Untitled (Scarred Tree) (1998) Students in this class learn to read the clouds, understand the wind, predict the rain, and use elements of the weather to convey deeper meaning within their own work.
