Stahl, Robert (#6223) The Poetry of Black & White Photography, September 16-18

This workshop in Black & White photography will emphasize the cultivation of a poetic eye.
Accordingly, an interpretive style will be advocated. To reinforce this approach a thorough
grounding in the fundamentals of composition and design will be provided as we consider
the role of line, shape, texture, and depth along with light and time. As well, an appreciation
of the graduations of tone will be discussed. Field excursions with the instructor will be
conducted in Coupeville & vicinity. These field trips will offer an opportunity for classroom
evaluation. Also, one on one sessions with Robert will be available to review material
brought to the workshop (digital files and/or prints). Join us for this stimulating workshop
on the art of ‘seeing deeply’ in B&W.
