Art Wolfe Presents: Photography as Art in Montreal – June 2, McCord Museum LiveEvents May 27, 2018 2890 Photography as Art Seminar Expanding Your Visual Imagination Why do some photographs speak to your soul and remain in your memory long after you’ve turned away, while others fade more quickly? How do great artists and photographers engage with the viewer, spark their imagination and discover a new way of seeing? Be one of the first to attend this groundbreaking, all-new seminar created for individuals who want to go beyond simply taking photos of a moment in time and instead make powerful artistic statements. In this full-day seminar, you’ll learn that the beauty, emotion and versatility expressed through photography are matched only by the limits of your imagination. Using art history as a reference point, the seminar highlights common visual elements, from shape and space to texture and light, and shows you how to apply them to enhance your own compositions. You’ll explore innovative ways to translate conceptual ideas into creative results, learn how to spot the non-obvious, and uncover new ways to expand your visual imagination.
