Photography Workshop with Will Fenn
Saturday, March 23 at 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM
Overview
In a two-hour workshop, Will Fenn will explore what constitutes a photograph and how its use has changed. Consideration of how a once intimate image viewing experience has been transformed for the distribution of countless numbers of images online will occur. Discussion will also involve lens-based photographic production and today’s AI generated images. Participants will engage in the making of small silver gelatin prints via pinhole cameras and the creation of social media-based work to be posted online. Note: This is an introductory level workshop for ages 17+. Be advised that some aspects of the workshop will be weather dependent.
