Do you ever wonder how the world looks through another person's eyes? How would a familiar street look to you if you were walking it as a novelist, tour guide, or movie director? What details would suddenly assume new importance? Each week we'll explore our surroundings, imagining ourselves as different types of creators and surveyors — poets, storytellers, and more. In class, we'll look at work from photographers whose images are inspired or influenced by different practices like these, and we'll look for the insights from each of these perspectives to enrich our personal artistic vision. This class is grounded in the tradition of street photography, but all photographers interested in using diverse art and professional disciplines to inform and improve their pictures of the world are welcome.
