PROJECT
“In the end, we may come to the conclusion that intimacy cannot be photographed directly (as we experience it) because, quite simply, the camera is always in the way. The trick, perhaps, is to understand intimacy as an imaginary space—an illusion that exploits our very real longing for a profound and authentic encounter with another.” Doug DuBois
.
Join photographer Doug DuBois for a workshop through which students will gain a better understanding of how to articulate intimacy and explore ways of creating photographs that demonstrate a certain closeness between photographer, subject, and viewer. Students will work with DuBois to assemble a rhetorical rather than purely emotional guide to photography’s intimate claims.
The 3 days program will consist of both group and individual critiques of each other’s photographs, as well as a discussion of specific photographers and images which offer insight into the challenges, tropes, and problems of making intimate photographs. Some discussion topics and photographers include: “The Bad and the Beautiful” (Hiromix, Corinne Day, Lise Sarfati, and Juergen Teller); “Dirty Old Men” (Larry Clark and Nobuyoshi Araki); “Family Business” (Larry Sultan, Elinor Carucci, Mitch Epstein and Leigh Ledare); and “Intimate Pairs” (Alessandra Sanguinetti, Kelli Connell, and Laura Letinsky).
