DISCOVER HISTORIC ART OF ?CAMERALESS PHOTOGRAPHY?
AT CULTURAL ARTS ASSOCIATION WORKSHOP
Santa Rosa Beach- Join professional photographer and artist Jay Shoots for an intensive workshop exploring techniques of ?cameraless photography? hosted by the Cultural Arts Association. This historic art process is equally suitable for the intrigued beginner or the experienced photography enthusiast. The workshop will begin on Friday, June 27 from 6 pm to 8 pm and will continue on Saturday, June 28 from 9 am until 4 pm at the Bayou Arts Center on County Road 393 North.
The Friday evening session will offer open dialogue with the artist, a presentation of his portfolio of cameraless photographs and an overview of Saturday?s workshop when students will create their own unique ?photographic drawings.?
Considered by many professionals and historians as the ?purest? form of photography, this 19th century process has been revitalized as a provocative and meaningful medium in the 21st century art world.
Shoots, who recently completed The Seaside Institute?s Escape to Create artist in residency program, has exhibited nationally and internationally, including in collections at the Espace Photographie De Paris, the Institute for Cultural Exchange in Tubingen, Germany, the Jacksonville Museum of Contemporary Art and the St. Petersburg Museum.
Enrollment in Shoots? workshop is limited to 12 participants in order to provide students with personalized attention and the detailed instruction that will encourage their further exploration.
