STYLE DEVELOPMENT IN PHOTOGRAPHY - lecture with instructor David Ellingsen
Style is defined as a particular, distinctive, or characteristic mode or form of construction or execution in any art or work. In this course, students will explore a practical process of discovering, building, and refining their own style in an exciting and personal journey that will lead them to making cohesive bodies of work, a hallmark of most successful artists.
We will discuss the main elements of style, how to recognize them in the work of other artists, and how to bring them into your own practice.
