Shooting with Inspiration

How do you create a great picture? In this course, we focus on finding new inspiration and thinking outside the bounds of your previous practice. After analyzing the visual vocabulary, composition, and intention of different photographers, participants use elements of a particular photographer’s style to guide their practice, either making similar pictures or exploring more conceptual interpretations. Each student develops a personal project based on one of the styles we cover or an amalgamation of several styles. The course includes weekly class critiques. This course is limited to 12 students.

Course Level / 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.
