EXPRESSIVE PHOTOGRAPHY
This program explores various expressive photography techniques such as Dreamscapes, Multiple Exposures, Panning and Montages (combination of 2 or more photographs). André will show some of his work and describe in detail how the images were created in camera. This will be followed by a brief Photoshop demonstration. André will have available his latest book “Expressionism”, which he refers to as the recipe book for Expressive Images.
“With my personal photography, like the expressionists, I’m less concerned about showing a representation of the subject matter, but would rather like to convey my feelings towards the subject matter, or unleash an emotion onto my canvases. I want the viewer to feel the photographs rather than view them”. – André Gallant
