This semester the Performance Photography Class expanded horizons with the exploration of capturing different performances through the lens of a camera.
With Britten Traughber as the professor, the class consisted of all women and collectively the students did such activities as; sharing ideas, performing self-portraits, critiquing work and exploring resources.
This final gallery show is a description of identity and how each student chose to depict their self-portrait.
Please come and see the images in person and if you are unable to attend the opening reception make a stop by Transpace when you have some free time, or just make time to see it! The show will be up in Uptown Normal until Christmas Time!!!
My piece entitled Legs- the Series, was a journey led by my legs and just capturing them in character and allowing them to create their own being. From diving into dumpsters all the way to walking through a sculpture on Michigan Ave. My legs allowed for a wonderful exploration of self. Please come and see my big beautiful prints hanging in Transpace.
A huge thanks to Britten who is my amazing professor and friend. She is super passionate and just expanded all of our horizons this semester and my work would not have been so successful without her intelligent insight. Performance and the Camera, as a class, was one of the most intimate classes I have ever taken and in many ways we grew as individuals through our time spent exploring photography and individual expression. Great dynamic, and it is obvious when you see the work functioning as a group exhibit.
