Magic and Light: Exploring Photographic Techniques

Jul 4 - 8, 2022

9AM-3PM

Concept

AGES 7-10

Interested in a hands-on approach to art-making? This exploration of photographic techniques may be just the magic needed to spark a lifetime of image-making. This workshop is an exploration of historical processes combined with new digital techniques to make one-of-a-kind images. Students learn the importance of light and time by building pinhole cameras, practicing the cyanotype process, creating digital negatives, and exploring the fundamentals of the black and white printing. We take full advantage of the beauty of the Anderson Ranch campus while learning the fundamentals of picture making to create content for these amazing processes.

Trey’s work often comments on topics such as mass media distribution as well as personal and cultural identity. Through his various mediums, Trey aims to both inform and provoke the viewer to reflect upon themselves and become more conscious of how one’s reality is shaped and constructed through media.
