In this three-day workshop, participants will attend several illustrated lectures on the evolution of the photographic process from its beginnings in the 1830s through the digital age. We’ll include the major photographic processes used in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Each lecture class will be followed by viewing notable examples of prints and plates by the masters of photography from the museum’s photography collection.
To round out the experience, displays of vintage cameras from the technology collection will be presented in each session to illustrate how technology helped photographers to realize their own aesthetic.
Audience: Limited to fifteen, this three-day workshop is for those interested in the evolution and history of the photograph and want to see the “real thing.”
