工作坊介绍：

我们作为摄影师不仅仅是报道者，也是评论者。我们诠释看见之物。这次工作坊强调摄影作为创意性非虚构，以及摄影师作为图像的主观作者。我们会探讨传统和当代摄影师，同时讨论摄影的真实性和演绎。我们会讨论下列摄影师的相关作品：Eugene Smith, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Jeff Wall, Paul Graham, Phillip Lorca-diCorcia, Cindy Sherman.

课程期间，学员会展开自己的项目，并互相点评。课程将侧重作品的主观性和社会性。点评将探究作品观念，切入点，编辑，和展现策略。学员在学习练习过程中同时会掌握复杂的摄影技术。

Workshop Intro:

Photographers are not merely reporters. We are also commentators. We interpret what we see. This workshop focuses on the photograph as a work of creative nonfiction, and on the photographer as the subjective author of an image. We will examine the work of historical and contemporary photographers to open a discussion on varying narrative approaches, and on the concepts of photographic truth and interpretation. We will look at work by such photographers as; Eugene Smith, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus, Jeff Wall, Paul Graham, Phillip Lorca-diCorcia, Cindy Sherman.

Throughout the course students will develop self-generated projects that will be critiqued in class. The emphasis will be on the subjectivity and social relevance of the work produced. Critiques will rigorously address concept, approach, editing, and strategies of presentation. Students will also develop technical skills through fundamental exercises in camera systems.
