In this workshop with artist and digital photography pioneer Brian Goodman, photographers of all styles get to explore the many techniques used to “make” a photo rather than just “take” one. The two-session class is part of the York and Goodman Photography Series at Northwind Art School at Fort Worden. This series invites photographers to stretch and reimagine how they capture the world with a camera. It all starts with a discussion during the first one-hour session Dec. 10, then moves into a photo assignment, and wraps up with sharing of images and affirming feedback in the second one-hour session Dec. 17. The image here is one of Brian Goodman’s photographs from his “Solace of Space” series, in which he blurs the lines between photography and other forms of art such as painting.
