Cultural Landscape
- Shedding a light on your landscape photography by adding cultural context |
| |
|
Craig Barber

| Description: |
As globalization alters the landscape daily, that which is unique passes into our memory.
The challenge for photographers is documenting not only how the cultural landscape looks but also how it feels.
Each inhabited environment reflects the economics, local tradition, religion and geography and is important to the photographer’s work.
During this workshop we will explore how the photographer portrays the culture’s impact upon the environment and the environment’s impact upon the culture.
We will look for ways of working that are true both to the reality of the culture observed and the photographer’s artistic response to it.
Additionally, we will examine the cultural and personal factors that make a photographer’s vision and perception selective.
Class sessions will include slide lectures, group discussions, critiques, and a local field trip.
All formats are welcome from 35mm to view cameras to plastic or pinhole cameras. |
