About "Vision, Passion, and Projects"
|
Cole Thompson is widely known for his remarkable portfolios, including Melting Giants, The Ghosts of Auschwitz-Birkenau, Monoliths, and Harbinger. In this educational seminar Cole will challenge mainstream conventions by prioritizing internal artistic vision over technical perfection and expensive gear.
|
He will share his insights on transitioning from taking disconnected images into creating deeply personal, cohesive bodies of work, exploring:
|
- Where his ideas come from and why a good idea isn't enough.
- How he creates projects and the rules for building them.
- His least favorite type of portfolio and the project you should give up on.
- The foundational pillars of Vision (finding your "photographic celibacy" by blocking out external trends) and Passion (focusing strictly on subjects that produce a deep emotional response).
- His personal creative formula: 1/3 vision, 1/3 the shot, and 1/3 processing.
|
Don't miss this opportunity to learn how classic, timeless black-and-white processing can be leveraged to convey profound human emotions. Please make sure to register at the link above and join us at 2:15 PM on June 20!
