Event Notes
Looking at Photographs
Wednesdays, February 5-March 5, 6-8 PM
Location: Cooney Hall 269
Instructor: Cliff Brane
This is a class inspired by instruction at the Maine Media Workshops & College in Rockport, Maine.
One of the challenges of advancing your photography is to become a better judge of your own photographs. It is hard to be objective when you are intimately involved with a photo of your own making. This will be a class inspired by the classes at the Maine Media Workshops & College in Rockport, Maine. Rather than taking their own photos, students will collect photographic images under different categories and from various sources like magazines, newspapers, social media, medical journals, great photographers of the past, editorial photography, advertisements, and photographic artists. Ages 18+
The initial meeting will explain the process and offer samples. Subsequent classes will have topics assigned to or chosen by the student. Students will present their collected images during class and discuss composition and what attracted them to the photos.
The goal of this class is to sharpen your eye for what makes an effective photo.
Requirements: No previous course requirements. Students need a computer with internet access and a jump drive for class.
5 Weekly Sessions. Class is limited to 6 students. Additional students may be added upon approval by instructor.
