ONLINE COURSE
An Interior View
In this class focusing on architectural interiors, we’ll discuss lighting, equipment, and camera settings, but also the challenge of how to translate and communicate the atmosphere, poetry, and meaning of a space and how you personally experience it. Weekly assignments include exploring and photographing a variety of interior spaces — intimate and grand, public and domestic — to challenge and hone your ability to interpret space and learn about the use of perspective, light, and abstraction. For inspiration, we’ll discuss in depth the symbolism and history of interiors and view work by painters and photographers who speak the language of space.
