Study Photography Abroad: London & Dublin Meeting

I will be leading a photography course abroad through CCSA next winter term for two weeks to London, England and Dublin, Ireland. The topic will be landscape/cityscape photography and culminate in the production of a self-published photo book through Blurb.com. (Here's an example of my book from a previous trip.)

 

Click here to see students on our last trip at on the Lodon Eye, riding the tube, at the Globe Theatre, Stonehenge, Bath (England), St. Patrick's Cathedral, Glendalough (Ireland), and more.

While there we will make photographs on the city streets of London and Dublin, visit major museums, tour landmarks and historic sites, travel in the region, and perhaps take in a show or two. There will be plenty of opportunity to shop and enjoy local cuisine, as well as celebrating the new year on the Thames with Big Ben if you like.

The trip flies out December 26 and returns returns January 8. Coursework (in terms of editing photos, online discussion, and production of the book) will continue into the beginning of the spring semester.

Application deadline is September 26. Course costs are $4295 (including airfare) or $3295 (excluding airfare).

There will be a brief informational meeting on Tuesday, April 15 at 5:00 PM in the Wilson Art Building, room 104. Come and find out more if you may be interested, and bring a friend!

See you then,
Prof. Darrell Kincer

"Photography & the British Landscape"

Digital photographers will develop their skills as we explore the cityscapes of London and Dublin with visits to the countryside of England and Ireland. Participants will develop their skills as they explore urban cityscapes and rural countrysides. Daily discussions, demonstrations, and critiques will be followed by fieldwork tuned to each photographer’s personal goals and talents. Opportunities will also arise to visit local museums and cultural landmarks. Once home, the course will turn to online posting via Flickr.com for discussion of work and culminate with each student producing a unique art book of edited and refined photographic work through Blurb.com.

Prerequisite: It is recommended that students have at least a semester of experience in photography and/or digital imaging, although the course is open to photographers of all skill levels, with permission of instructor.

Credit Hours: 3 (undergraduate, upper level)

ImPrint Catalog

It's been a few weeks since ImPrint ended. Throughout the show and up until now, I've been working on a catalog via Blurb (and their software BookSmart), featuring the works and statements from the artists. It has been a lot of work, but I'm glad to have included this component of the show, particularly since so many of the artists, 15 of 16, couldn't make it to the Ann Wright Wilson Gallery. I don't blame them; we had pieces in the show from across the country. But hopefully with this catalog all of the artists can get a sense of the works included in the show, what the other artists say about their own work, a glimpse of the gallery space, and feedback from Daniel, Laura, and myself.

You can see and even purchase a copy of the ImPrint Catalog at Blurb.com.
