Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this photography class:

How do we see and perceive the contemporary landscape beyond the marks that humanity has left on it? What can the landscape, in all its forms and iterations, teach us about ourselves? Under Brad Temkin’s expert guidance, we examine these questions in depth while learning to create pictures that are poetic and beautiful.

With the help of exercises, classroom discussions, portfolio reviews and critiques, as well as informal artist talks with professional landscape photographers, we gain a deeper understanding of craft and become better at articulating our ideas. We embrace pre-visualization and post-visualization approaches, but our overriding objective is to understand our own process and how we can best interpret it as a final presentation. Students will attain a solid comprehension and knowledge of the genre and they will gain insight into a vast collection of contemporary and vintage landscape projects.

The course will feature two or three guest appearances.

Skill/Experience Level: Students should have a good understanding of Photoshop or Lightroom.

  • The Contemporary Landscape

    Reviewed by Diane G. on 9/10/2021
    Not for beginning or amateur photographers. Too jampacked for personal guidance. Was told that class appropriate for all levels-to gain vision. Not true-every week critiques often were related to technique and editing, which I have not mastered, leading to an ultimate critique, which crushed me as a photographer. You will be compared to students with an extensive photography background every week. Instructor not a "teacher", more of a photographer with advise.
