| WEEKEND WORKSHOP @ APERTURE |
| Alex Webb and Rebecca Norris Webb, |
| Friday, March 23 thru Sunday, March 25, 2012 |
Do you know where you're going next with your photography –– or where it’s taking you? This intensive weekend workshop will help photographers begin to understand their own distinct way of seeing the world, and help photographers figure out their next step photographically –– from deepening their own unique vision to the process of discovering and making a long-term project that they’re passionate about, to how projects evolve into books and exhibitions. A workshop for serious amateurs and professionals alike, it will taught by seasoned bookmakers, Alex and Rebecca, a creative team who often edit projects and books together –– including their book and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, exhibition, "Violet Isle: A Duet of Photographs from Cuba, and Rebecca's upcoming "My Dakota." NOTE: This is a workshop for photographer who collaborate with the world, not photographers who dramatically alter their images digitally. TO APPLY: Reserve a space by visiting the Aperture website. To get the student or Aperture patron discount, please email Anne Lewis at Aperture. |
