Image + Imagination: Creating Characters with the Camera

For the first time in its 8-year history, PHOTOVILLE – New York City's premier photo festival is coming to LA! Annenberg Space for Photography Presents Photoville LA, created and produced by United Photo Industries, will feature exhibitions in repurposed shipping containers, photo cubes, and lightboxes that will create a festival atmosphere with multiple galleries for Angelenos to explore.

Annenberg Space for Photography Presents Photoville LA

Join Mimi Haddon and Aline Smithson for a workshop that celebrates play and imagination. Both instructors have a photographic legacy of considering the performative nature of photography by using costumes and props to create new realities. This workshop will also feature dancers from the Heidi Duckler dance company.
This is a BYOC (bring-your-own-camera) workshop that will start with an introduction to the instructors and slide show of the artists’ work and inspirations. Participants will then head outside for a live, guided shooting session in and around Photoville and the Annenberg Space for Photography where photographers can create their own altered realities using dancers or other workshop participants as subjects. Props, fabrics, costumes and masks will be provided, but photographers are encouraged to add their own. The workshop will further the collaborative process of creating characters and archetypes in architectural spaces. Simply put, we are going to experience the joy of play and imagination.
The workshop includes an optional wrap-up session and casual group critique where students may share their work and get ideas and feedback from the instructors and their workshop peers.
ALL WORKSHOPS REQUIRE A REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT: The $10 ticket price will be refunded upon check in the day of the workshop. If you are unable to attend, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance, and we will issue a refund and release your spot in the workshop to someone on the waitlist. No shows and cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance will not be refunded (and thank you for your donation to Photoville!).
