Instructor: David Ulrich
The most important tool for a photographer is their mindset: while making images, viewing them, editing them, and grappling the many decisions about presentation and platforms through which you communicate with others.
The necessity for courage implies staying true to yourself and cultivating your vision, having the confidence to stay in your integrity, avoiding the easy answer and the tired cliché. Finding your voice and overcoming fear and self-doubt are formidable challenges for all creative individuals. Awareness relates to your ability to pay attention, to the changing nature of the subject itself along with your vigilant, mindful eye on your own reactions and responses. And discernment is key to success in the arts, being able to have a rigorously critical eye and mind, to create and edit your images in accord with the principles of effective visual expression in photography and with an awareness of contemporary culture and generational trends.
The creation of this class has been inspired by the many new discoveries of neuroscience on the human mind, creativity, and the modalities of influencing the brain for personal and artistic growth and evolution.
The instructor offers a range of enjoyable exercises and assignments that can help unlock your creativity, give greater confidence, and assist your capacity for discernment, leading to potential breakthroughs.
Class content consists of slide shows, readings, assignments and exercises, and response/critique of participant’s work. Some class material is drawn from David’s new manuscript: The Creative Eye: On the Work of Seeing and the Power of Attention in a Distracted Age.
Open to photographers of all levels and with any type of camera, including cell phones.
Class takes place on Zoom software. Please submit 6-8 jpg images, representative of your work, for the first class. Instructor will send Zoom link and instructions for submitting images through Dropbox or Google Drive prior to the first class.
