THE ESSENCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY
with Russell Levine
For all levels, Wednesday 7:00 – 9:30 p.m.
This class will revitalize your photography practice by exploring your relationship to your subject, your camera, and yourself. Through photo exercises, assignments, and field trips, we will learn to deepen our visual awareness while clarifying our approach, so that image making becomes both more personal and meaningful. Bring a sense of commitment (and sense of humor) and curiosity to class, as well as a few examples of recent work to the first session.
PHOTOGRAPHY ON THE MOVE

For beginner/intermediate, Tuesday, 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Are you ready to get out there and do more shooting? Do you want to produce more artistic, nuanced images? This course will give you that chance! We will alternate classroom work on composition and critique with off-campus photo shoots.
