Happy to share some new topics of instruction for private & semi-private photography students:
[Since I'm a bit behind on website updates and won't have a chance to remedy that until after I finish making the rewards prints (for my upcoming gofundme campaign), I'll be sharing updates here before adding them to their appropriate categories elsewhere on my website.]
- NEW: Intro to Experimental Photography (we’ll cover a few processes, based on your artistic leanings and proximity). Duration: 6 weekly sessions
- NEW: Art as Therapy. (Now with the option to learn to "work" your materials in a way that not only translates well for your personal artwork, but also in a way that will add an extra dose of healing to the process). Duration suggestion: at least 6 weekly sessions, longer-term instruction may be more beneficial. [The online version does have an option that can be designed around those who work in other mediums (including poetry)].
- NEW: Intro to Experimental Film Photography/Printing. There are quite a few ways we can go about doing this, I'll offer suggestions based on whether or not you have darkroom access, as well as based on the processes that translate best for your vision(s). Now includes the option of hybrid contact prints/photograms (and/or chemigrams), which can be done in makeshift darkrooms, with alternative light sources. Duration 6 weekly sessions. [4-week options can be designed for in-person students and zoom students who have access to a proper darkroom.]
- NEW: The long-term body of work. Duration suggestion: 8 weeks of weekly instruction or longer
- Photograms sans Enlarger (aka Forgetting All the Rules) - 6 weeks of instruction, which can be expanded into longer term instruction. My most popular topic, translates very well for Zoom students [Lecture and demo style version is also available for Zoom students who don't wish to set up diy darkrooms at home].
Also available upon request:
- Intro to liquid emulsions (silver gelatin/darkroom). I will test out currently available liquid emulsions in advance of our sessions. Duration suggestion 4-6 weeks of weekly instruction.
- Intro to Infrared Film/Printing. I will retest the new Rollei (almost) infrared film in advance of sessions with private/semi-private students in NYC. [I may be able to finagle an experimental version for Zoom students as well…]
- Additional traditional photography topics are available to in-person students.
