THE ART OF CRITIQUE & EXHIBITING YOUR WORK (For the Emerging Fine Art Photographer)
Instructor: Katie Huisman www.katiehuisman.com
Photography is an exciting way of seeing and sharing your vision with the world. This workshop will support you in recognizing and developing your own unique stylistic vision as a photographer. Regular critiques of your work will develop the confidence needed when presenting your work to future clients and/or galleries. Lectures on the business of photography will culminate in a Group Exhibition and Opening on the last day of class.
This workshop takes on a fine art approach but is still highly relevant to stylistically driven commercial photography. The opportunity to be a part of a group exhibition will give you the motivation and credibility you need to become one of Vancouver's emerging artists.
