Developing a Research Based Photo Practice with Holly Lynton - Saturday and Sunday, July 20 & 21, 10am - 6pm - Penumbra Foundation

Learning how to effectively use research in one's photographic practice allows artists to bring more intentionality and purpose to their work, no matter the subject. This weekend workshop is designed to help students of all levels incorporate research into an existing project or idea, either a new project or a project in which they are currently stuck, to elevate their work to new heights. Through lectures, class discussion, critiques, and presentations, this class examines how research can be used in a variety of ways to support project depth and development—from working with an archive to researching locations and weather. Students can expect to move forward in their current projects as well as develop research and workflow skills that will support them in their future work.
