Develop your photography with guidance from Peter Sramek (sramek.ca), longtime OCAD University professor and founding member of Gallery 44 Centre of Photography in Toronto. Whatever your experience with photography, this workshop will meet you with appropriate content as you enjoy a weekend with a group of creative participants.
This program is designed to support you in your photographic journey, whether primarily visual, conceptual or technical. Field work will explore the farmstead landscapes and the local area, while discussions will address approaches to making images, with focus on participant interests. Engage with the landscape, explore portraiture, create site interactions to photograph. Consider aspects of light, composition and moment. Share your images in creative evening sessions. If you bring an ongoing project, a portfolio discussion will provide feedback.
Participants will work with digital cameras, but are free to also shoot film for later processing. Technical aspects can be covered if desired. Digital results will be reviewed onsite and those interested may experiment with historical cyanotype printing (blueprinting). Gear is not the focus and a basic camera or phone for making exposures is all that is required.
If you are interested in attending a workshop, please register online or contact us at workshops@scff.ca. Participants will stay the weekend at SCFF or arrive for each day’s session.
