The Ethereal Landscape
Expand your understanding of what makes an image. Investigate typologies, topologies, narratives, and more.
Sometimes a landscape is about the place; sometimes it is about more than the place. A single photograph may not tell the whole story, but a compound image might. In this workshop students question what a photograph is supposed to look like. We investigate typologies, topologies, narratives, and extended images.
The goals are to push the image and presentation envelope and of course have lots of photo fun.
