Constructed Conceptual Photography with Claire Rosen

Students will be exposed to different photographic styles throughout history and current trends which students will use to develop their own concepts and create mood boards. We will cover pre-production and scheduling, sourcing locations and props, lighting theory, selecting and working with subjects, as well as communicating and working efficiently on set.

* Please bring a lunch or snack. 

Seminar:
The first session is spent in the classroom looking at presentations of historical and contemporary photography, breaking down the elements that make a powerful photograph; the idea, mood, composition, technique, lighting, location, model, styling, retouching, etc., followed by exercises for brainstorming, concept development and preproduction. Students will then develop their own concepts.

Workshop: 
The second portion of the day is reserved to photographing conceptual scenarios from the mind of Claire Rosen.
