Celebrate the art and humanity of the queer gaze in imagemaking. This class focuses on the sensual queer body through the practice of fine art photography. Students delve into the history of the queer gaze, learn to speak clearly about their artistic intentions, and begin to concept and execute their own erotic work. Participants explore ideas around consent and emotional safety when creating this kind of sensitive imagery. We also cover technical issues such as lighting and model direction. Please note that this class is open to all students regardless of gender or sexuality. This course is limited to 12 students.

For the first class, please prepare 3 images of your work that you would consider ‘erotic,’ and 3 hero images made by other photographers you admire. Also, please provide a portrait or headshot of yourself to help us learn your names. The instructor's email addresses will be included in your registration confirmation. Please send this work ahead of time to the instructors with ‘ICP QUEER EROTIC IMAGE’ in the subject line BEFORE the first class meeting and be prepared to discuss your work as a means of introduction. Other than that, just bring a notebook or some other means of taking notes to Class 1. We’re looking forward to meeting you.
