Internationally acclaimed photographer Ernesto Bazan will lead this special two-day workshop on building and editing a cohesive photography portfolio. The portfolio is the centerpiece of any photographer’s repertoire. Every serious photographer must have a defined, well-produced body of work in order to be considered for publication or exhibition. In this class, you’ll gain invaluable perspective on the editing process as you work to refine your own portfolio. Editing can often be the photographer’s Achilles heel. The challenges abound: sometimes strong images must be culled to clarify the overall intent of a body of work; weak and repetitive images must be removed so they don’t dilute the effect of stronger images; and above all, the photographer’s vision must be highly developed. This workshop is an opportunity to focus intensively on these issues with one of the leading photographers of our day. Ernesto Bazan was born in Palermo, Italy in 1959. He received his first camera when he was 14 years old and began photographing daily life in his native city and in the rural areas of Sicily. Photography has been more than a profession: a true passion, a mission in his life. Bazan has published several books: The Perpetual Past, Passing Through, The First Twenty Years, Island, Molo Nord, the famous Bazan Cuba, and most recently Al Campo. He has had exhibitions in Europe, Latin America, and the United States. His photographs have been collected by institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art and the International Center of Photography in New York; SFMOMA in San Francisco; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University; the South East Museum of Photography in Daytona, FL; the Fondazione Italiana della Fotografia in Turin, Italy; the Biblioteque Nationale in Paris, France; and the Musee Rattau in Arles, France. In 2002, Bazan created his own photographic workshops providing special emphasis on Latin America. Several hundred students have studied with him in the last six years. He currently lives in Veracruz, Mexico. |
