Photography, Art & Seeing
In this interactive class, we’ll discuss & discover:
-How can photography help me become a more visually aware person?
-How can making photographs assist me in becoming a better, more sensitive and insightful visual artist?
-Can photography be taught with the artist in mind, doing away with technical hurdles?
-Can a simple point and shoot camera actually teach me valuable skills I need to grow as an artist?
s-Open Q&A session – you’ll be intrigued and have lots of them.

“I want to learn more about the world around me. I can’t think of a better way to learn than through the lens of a camera. I love the idea of exploring photography, to see things in a new perspective and to be more mindful of the beauty that surrounds us. This is not just about photography, it’s about awareness and mindfulness – and I’d like some guidance.” – (one of the students)
