Photography has a complex relationship to the world around us, and to how we look at people places and things. Some would say because it is in some sense mechanically made that a photograph documents or objectively records the world. Digital photography particularly challenges the idea that photographs are truthful and objective recreations of the world around us. This is precisely why they are so powerful. As artists we have the ability to manipulate these images that are so close to life in ways that can challenge and change how people look and think about the world around us. In this seminar you will learn technical skills needed to make stunning digital images while nurturing the ability to look, think and make both critically and generously.
Through discussions, critiques and hands on photographing this class will explore practices specific to digital image making and discourses surrounding photography. The seminar will introduce you to digital photography through hands on demonstrations, lectures and mentored exploration. This class will provide you with the necessary tools to make powerful pictures and to begin to create your own personalized style. By the end of the seminar students will have both a working knowledge of digital photographic image production and a deepened understanding of how photographic images relate to how we think about and make pictures of the world around us.
Welcome to Digital Photography, I look forward to working with all of you.
Sincerely, Ace Lehner
