PNM sponsors ongoing response and critique sessions led by photographer David Ulrich and others. This is a time for photographers and students to come together, dialogue, and share work.

Please prepare 8-10 examples (12 images is the absolute maximum) of your work and place them in a folder. Please be sure to save your files as JPG’s with a maximum file size of 2-3 megabytes — larger files take too long to load. And, please make sure your images are in a folder with your first and last name on it. Do not attempt to upload individual images. Also, please title your images with your initials or name. 

Email your entire folder to pnmphoto@gmail.com at least two hours before the critique, by 5 pm, February 4 and April 8. Work that comes in after the deadline will not be reviewed. 

The session begins at 7 pm and we are not able to admit those that come late.

Instructor: David Ulrich

The creative process in photography meanders through and around your vision, ideas, responses to the world, and your craft. Photographers often begin by sketching out ideas, looking at scenes or events that stimulate your response, and making a few photographs. And then what? Do we move from one scene to another or find a subject that resonates and attempt to refine and deepen our expression?

Discover the means and methods of deepening your engagement with the subject, employing the full creative process from sketch to realization, and refining your expression through both craft and vision. Participants explore ways, through proven exercises, of developing a unique visual voice and making photographic images that grow directly from your distinctive manner of seeing—and then digitally editing those images to fully convey your artistic intent.

Class participants are asked during this 12-week experience to identify a theme or ongoing project that captures your interest and can be approached in an in-depth manner.

The class involves making images, reviewing images from your archive, discussion, lecture, and selected readings.

Please download (in Dropbox or Google Drive) a selection of 6-8 jpg images to the first class and email link to the instructor.

Class takes place online via Zoom software. Participants are sent a link in advance.

TAUGHT ONLINE
Fee: $160
Instructor: Sharon Heitzenroder

Identity defines how we see ourselves and interpret the world around us. It is an ever growing and changing idea cultivated by a constant influx of information and experiences. It can be shaped by our culture, gender, orientation, race, religion, memories, relationships, and more.

Explore ideas of identity using a camera. How does our identity influence our work? How do we define ourselves within and through our work? How does our way of viewing differ from others? Weekly slideshows and discussions introduce participants to a variety of historical and contemporary artists and their practices. Students also participate in weekly exercises to develop a greater sense of self as an artist.

This class is open to all levels of experience, from beginner to advanced. Any camera can be used (including cell phone).  The class involves creating and editing images, group discussions and critiques. No specific software is required outside of having access to a google share drive.

Class takes place online via Zoom software. Participants are sent a link in advance.
