Do
you find it a challenge turning your ideas into a reality?
In his first workshop at CPW, photographer and former art director
Phillip Toledano will help you through the process of making conceptually
driven images. He will
discuss the varying degrees of developing and communicating a concept as
well as how ideas work in the editorial realm as well as in the world of
fine art. This is a workshop dedicated to those photographers who are
interested in turning their ideas into images. This is not a technical
class, but a cognitive one. What will be refined is not your lighting
skills, but rather your conceptual, and evaluative skills.
Starting
with a slide-show showcasing some of Toledano’s own work as well as work
of other artists working conceptually, the class will follow that with an
in-depth portfolio review. Together you will discuss concepts that
class-members are working on, and help to bring them to the next level. We
will explore the questions: what is needed to make the idea happen? Is the
image conveying your ideas? And of course, have we seen it before? Lessons
learned will be invaluable and applicable in both editorial and the fine
art world.
PHILLIP TOLEDANO is an NYC based
photographer. Born in London, he had no formal photography training. He
was an art director in advertising for about ten years, an experience
which ultimately made him the photographer he is today-that is, a concept
based. Since becoming a
photographer six years ago, he has shot for a wide range of magazines,
including The New York Times Magazine, Esquire,
GQ, Vanity Fair, Wallpaper,
and Interview.
His work has been shown internationally. His
first book BANKRUPT was published by Twin Palms in 2005 and his second book, PHONESEX,
(Twin Palms) with be published in 2008. Phillip Toledano is represented by
Art Department in New York. For more information, visit www.mrtoledano.com
