Photography Workshop: Visualising the Environment
Photographic images shape perceptions and the ways we understand the environment.
This highly interactive workshop explores a wide range of environmental themes through an illustrated seminar, active discussion, constructive image critique, and a practical field trip. It goes beyond the literal representations of “nature photography” to address the thought processes behind creating compelling and meaningful environmental images.
Through discussion of individual research, participants will explore various ways to develop observational, sensory, and creative skills to improve the impact and interpretative power of images.
Where do aesthetics, environmental history, and photography converge? How can we develop visual concepts to express ideas that do not necessarily translate to words? And how can we visualize environmental issues such as climate change that are often abstract and insidious?
The workshop is suitable for people with all levels of environmental knowledge and photographic skill (although participants would be expected to know how to operate their cameras/phones). Travel and accommodation costs are covered by the RCC.
As the workshop is also open to a few students from our study programs, space is limited. Please express your interest to participate in an email to anna-maria.walter@lmu.de.
