Instructor: David Ulrich
Explore and examine creative expression in photography through effective use of the visual language. Learn to communicate dynamically through images by studying syntax or the pictorial structure and organization of a photograph and semantics or the cultural/social construction of imagery. Both syntax and semantics contribute to visual literacy and the ability to create compelling and meaningful photographic images.
Class participants are free to work with any kind of camera and any type image, either in single images or in creative projects—though a sustained exploration through a personal project is preferred. Through assignments, enjoyable and instructive in-class exercises, readings, and group critiques, participants learn to combine imagination and visual perception with critical thought and careful analysis of visual communication through images.
“Photography is a language. Like any other form of communication, it has its own grammar, syntax, principles, and evolving history. Photography shares much with other forms of expression that revolve around the visual language. When I look at someone’s images for the first time, I can tell immediately if they are conversant and educated in the visual language.…
Your job, should you wish to learn photography well, is to learn to tell the difference between popular tripe and well-conceived, well-executed, in-depth explorations with the medium.”
—David Ulrich, from The Mindful Photographer: Awake in the World with a Camera
Open to photographers of all levels and all types of photographs: fine art, documentary, explorations of identity, editorial images, and historical/cultural explorations.

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, October 14 and December 9. 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.
Here is the Zoom link:

Instructor: Lydia Panas
This workshop is designed for photographers of all levels interested in exploring what makes a strong, intimate, and engaging portrait. We will discuss the relationship between artist and subject, establishing trust, and our impact on the encounter, to better appreciate how to make portraits that are engaging and powerful. Through a combination of slide presentations, critiques, and assignments we will consider framing, environment, light, location, body language, and expression.
We will look closely at the work of well-known portrait photographers exploring backgrounds and motivations to understand differences in style, method, and intent, and how their work is unique. We will discuss issues of representation and power dynamics in the work to better articulate our own voice and make portraits that are both personal and universal.
Lydia is interested in what lies below the surface, investigating questions about who we are and what we want to become. All her work is made in the fields, the forests, and the studio of her seventy-acre farm in Pennsylvania. The connection she feels to this land and her family is the foundation of her work.
Class takes place on Zoom software. Registered participants will be sent Zoom link and instructions for submitting images through Dropbox or Google Drive prior to the first class.
Lydia Panas is a visual artist working in photography and video. Drawing on a combination of psychoanalysis and feminism, her work looks at identity and what lies below the surface, investigating questions of who we are and what we want to become. Exploring the roles of power and trust on both sides of the camera, she describes what it feels like to be a woman, a human, and the complex range of emotions we feel. Panas’ work has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and internationally. Her photographs are represented in public and private collections including the Brooklyn Museum, Bronx Museum, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, Palm Springs Art Museum, Allentown Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Photography Chicago, Museum of Photographic Arts San Diego, Zendai Museum of Modern Art, Shanghai, and the Sheldon Museum, among others. She has three monographs, “The Mark of Abel (Kehrer Verlag 2012), “Falling from Grace” (Conveyor Arts 2016) and “Sleeping Beauty” (MW Editions 2021). She divides her time between Kutztown, Pennsylvania and New York City. For more information, visit: www.lydiapanas.com.
