The workshop is designed to create cyanotypes, an early photographic process used by botanists and people interested in photography in the mid-1800’s to create herbariums and record specimens of nature.
The goal of VISUALIZING NATURE is to hone your observation of nature and to transform Botany specimens into visual form. The workshop will incorporate the photographic process of Cyanotype printing along with understanding composition, color theory, and presentation. Using plant specimens and found objects in nature, you will gather visual research. From your collection of materials, and your experiments with composition, materials and photography, I will help you find your own reoccurring visual threads from which you will make a collection of original historic photographs. Both beginning and advanced photographers will benefit from this opportunity to work with an alternative photography processes, research new directions and experiment with various media.
This hands-on workshop will be limited due to workshop space and materials.
Dialogue and critique are important to the SPE mission.
Please join the conversation.
