Presence and Light with Peter Sramek
Within the natural spaces of the farm and forest, we will consider the roots of photographic visual practice in relation to observation, light and exposure. Photographs can be traces of the world in front of the camera but also of our inner experiences. Being present in nature may reveal that which is normally hidden in the daily rush.
Working in black and white, exercises will be completed in digital format, but film work is also encouraged. Technical discussion will address metering and exposure to support image pre-visualization. Work can be made in both digital and film mediums.
This workshop saw us work on observation of light and shadow and visualizing how these translate into black and white images. Working in both digital and film formats, the barn, the forest, the creek and the town became subject matter for compositions and images in shades of grey.
