Photography Classes & Workshops

In Conversation with Your Photographs
From: $0.00
Thursday, May 21st
6:00 – 8:00 PM
Ages 16+

In this 2 hour workshop, we will explore the relationship between text and photography. We will begin by looking at artists who use text and image in their work. Next, we will review different writing techniques and approaches. Every participant will have the chance to write about an image during the workshop, and share with the group if desired.

Every participant should bring images that they are excited to use in a short assignment during the workshop. These can be photographs you made yourself, vernacular photographs, news clippings, family photos, digital or printed, etc. You may also bring a computer or tablet to write with. Paper and pens will be provided.

This workshop is brought you by Andrea Wenglowskyj, who was generously funded by Art Services Inc. for her recent exhibition at CEPA, Anxiety of Amnesia.

Please call or email info@cepagallery.org if you have questions.

A model will be on site for hands on experience working in a real studio setting.

Class is taught by one of CEPA’s veteran instructors – Piotr Meszynski (see more about Peter below). By the end of the lab session, you’ll have the skills to tackle any type of indoor shoot, whether it’s in a huge warehouse or your spare bedroom.
