Street Photography
PH-Class | This class has been canceled
Learn new ways to observe our daily environment, by linking the mind's eye to the critical moment in the classic style of street photography. The course will explore the tools and creative thought processes needed to create dynamic images, capturing “the decisive moment”, as master photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson called it. The class will include field trips, four shooting class assignments, and a research assignment. This course will cover both film and digital workflow, as well as selected readings and music selections to stimulate the creative thought process. Students can work in teams as well as individually. The instructor will present the work of widely recognized artists from the history of photography, as well as lesser known photographers.
