Light, Shadow, Legacy: Learning Photography from the Greats - R4
with Sarah Akers
Ages: 12 - 18
In this class, we’ll explore the many genres of photography, from street and portrait to landscape, documentary, and more, while discovering the iconic photographers who helped shape each style. Along the way, we’ll break down the basics of photography by studying the techniques these artists used to capture their most unforgettable images, and we’ll ask the question, “What exactly is a ‘great’ photograph?” But we won’t just study photography; we will also create! Through hands-on projects, we’ll experiment with camera obscuras and cyanotypes, make our own photo zines, and practice techniques in class.
