Concept Photography

Class Description

Engaging, powerful photographs are not about good cameras and lots of technical know-how.  They come to life through ideas, perspective, voice, and memory.  In this class, we will use whatever camera you have on hand to explore the conceptual side of photography.  

Looking at the works of contemporary photographers as discussion points and prompts, students will venture out to make their own images.  Some of the artists we will look at include, storytelling masters Latoya Ruby Frazier and Gregory Crewdson, photographic collage artist Peter Beard, visionary Uta Barth, indigenous culture symbolist Luis Gonzales Palma and those who defy categorizing like the Start Twins.
