Taking a picture vs. creating a fine art photograph.
More than just a technical or how to masterclass, participants will be asked to consider their own goals and motivations as photographers. The class will be encouraged to explore how a form may represent or depict strength, poise, movement, or a frame of personality. We will look back to the history of fine art for inspiration, exploring the use of the human figure as a subject and collaborator. De Paola’s career and real-life experience over the past two decades creating projects from Vogue covers to Gucci campaigns and his transition into Fine Art photography with exhibitions in Los Angeles, New York City, Boston, Dali, China and Tokyo will be a valuable part of our formal and informal conversations. Mark’s vast and comprehensive experience with Leica cameras and optics, especially the 50mm Noctilux, will serve as a point of inspiration throughout the weekend. The iconic photographer’s landscape of Big Sur will provide the backdrop for this one-of-a kind-opportunity to be both challenged and guided creatively by de Paola.
