During
this special two-day workshop with Mary Ellen Mark, you will explore
contemporary trends in personal documentary photography and photojournalism.
You will investigate human relationships, people’s desires, aspirations,
and learn how to interpret social situations in many aspects of urban and
rural cultures through photography.
In
class we will explore the work of Mary Ellen Mark and fellow students from
around the world. Following an in-depth portfolio review the class will take
a field trip to the Columbia County Fair to spend the day making
photographs, with direction and encouragement from Mary Ellen. Working

and the themes within your work.

Andrea Modica: Environmental Portraiture
Sat-Sun, September 24-25
In
this hands-on workshop you’ll concentrate on using photography to reveal people’s lives, stories,
and worlds, for literal and/or emotional and creative narratives.
Combining portfolio review, discussions, and field work, you’ll
learn how to feel comfortable while making the images of people you want
to make - be it of family members, an unknown (to you) community resident,
or models.
Over the course of our
two days together, Andrea will engage you in meaningful reviews of your
work and goals with discussions investigating fine art and editorial work,
interpretation and style, and address
ethical and legal issues pertaining to the use of portraits in
publications and exhibitions. Field trips to make new work will take us
into the colorful environs of Woodstock, where you’ll have an
opportunity to explore both traditional and nontraditional photographic
approaches to environmental portraiture.
This workshop is open to students at all levels.

making and to create intimate dramas. A graduate of Yale University, she

considered a seminal work of portraiture.
