- The Art of Street Photography
Friday, July 16 to
Sunday, July 18: 9AM to 5PM
Faculty: Laura Harden, Lon Clark
Street photography involves acute observation, intense distillation and
the art of improvisation. This 3-day total immersion workshop
concentrates on the fluid and purposeful photographic interaction with
the constantly changing rhythms of the city, the neighborhood and the
street. The urban environment, people, time of day, selective seeing and
the individual vision of the photographer will be investigated through a
series of slides shows, exercises and continual hands on photographing
and editing. The relationship of street photography to documentary
photography, reportage and the photo essay will be investigated and each
participant will be supported in arriving at a particular view of the
subject and its interpretation. The workshop will
draw on the multiple-cultural fabric of the neighborhoods bordering the
school, the variety of architecture and societal contrasts to frame
photographic meaning. The interaction of form and narrative will be
considered and through a phased process of conceptualization and
implementation, participants will arrive at a cohesive series of
photographs.

- Photography, Perception & Expression
Friday, August 7
to Sunday, August 9: 9AM to 5PM
Faculty: Laura Harden, Lon Clark
This 3-day workshop is designed to create awareness,understanding and
refinement of each participant's perception through an emotional and
aesthetic response to his or her subject. Form and content will be
explored through the unique language of photography in relation to the
synthesis of perception and expression. Light, form, narrative
development, intuition and the photographer's most immediate sensed
understanding of what he or she photographs will be emphasized.
Reflecting the San Francisco Studio School's philosophy, photography
will be discussed in relation to other traditional fine art media
including painting and drawing as a means for understanding the visual
structure underlying the photographer's imagery.
Participants will be challenged to meaningfully engage subjects of their
choosing through a series of presentations, exercises, hands-on work and
individual and group critiques. The purpose of this Photography
Intensive is to provide participants with a highly individualized
understanding of his/her personal involvement with photography.

"I wanted to thank you again for this wonderful workshop. It was
a very important step for me and I am still really excited about my
pictures and my new way of seeing."- Daniela Niessen,
Photography Intensive, 2008
"A brief note to thank both of you for
facilitating a unique experience for me, your guidance and approach to
the art of photography was right -on! As a beginner photographer, I
never felt criticized, or out of the loop. I left feeling that my
approach to my work is valuable and at the same time the process
increased my awareness of my potential for growth and need for
development." - German Walteros, Photography Intensive
2008
