VNB Fine Art Photo Workshops - Photographic Editing & Sequencing February 3, 2012

More often than not the flip side of being a photographer turns out to not be able to properly evaluate, exhibit and sell your own work. Or, in a more positive view, not being able to clearly understand why sometimes cuts are made and sometimes not. In the art market view all photographs, be they silver ones, inkjets, made of platinum or else are to be eventually approached as consumable commodities. To each photograph, or digital photographic file, its end use. But as photographers, that’s not necessarily how we think, or how we were educated to think.
This workshop represents a programmatic arena for strengthening the aesthetic, conceptual, commercial and philosophical qualities of photographic work to be exhibited, published, submitted, or simply cherished. Participants learn how to relate the breaking down process of formal visual analysis to intended meanings and identified publication formats. Working in series in Photography challenges the singular value of individual photographs. And because selecting, editing and sequencing someone’s imagery almost always ends up meaning giving up some of the initial personal complexity expressed in the work, the workshop also focuses on managing frustrations and encourages evaluating practices favoring a clear detachment of authors from their images. At this price only may they become more universally accessible to intended audiences.
