Join the Leica Akademie at Tamarkin Camera for a weekend with fine art photographer and director Mark de Paola!
The workshop with focus on capturing portraiture stories. Dissecting together the anatomy of character and plot development, as well as exploring both the literal and abstract possibilities of crafting story with photographs, students will come away with at a minimum of two distinct narrative sequences of photographs.
Set against Chicago’s iconic urban facades, you will work on assignment to adapt each assigned character to your own authored story. This masterclass is catered to photographers both beginning their artistic journey as well as those more advanced in the medium. Mark will explore how implementing and understanding how sequencing a narrative applies to many photographic genres and is critical to creating a completed body of work.
De Paola is long known for his fashion and fine artwork that has been revered as portraiture first, always striving for the most authentic and truthful essence and expression from a collaboration. This understanding of providing a space of safety and freedom in a creative space is a critical topic of discussion that each student will also explore with Mark and each portraiture collaborator.
Do not miss this unique opportunity to join Mark de Paola, Leica Akademie USA and Tamarkin Camera this October in Chicago!
You are sure to come away with powerful and poignant photographs, reunite with your own unlocked sense of play and story, and immerse further into discovering your truest unique photographic style and connection in portraiture.
