This two-day workshop, open to amateurs and professionals alike, will encourage photographers to explore their own way of seeing the world.
Through group portfolio reviews, discussions, and some exercises, Alex and Rebecca, a creative team who often edit projects and books together, will explore a variety of issues with the class, including the relationship between images (such as the sequencing and interaction of photographs); the emotional and psychological implications of working in colour vs. black and white; and, how long-term projects evolve into books and exhibitions.
Please bring: about 30 images (prints, slides, or digital files). Alex and Rebecca encourage those who work in series to bring a selection of photographs from two or three series or an excerpt from a long-term project.

His seventh book, Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names, will be published this spring by Aperture. He has worked for many of the major publications including National Geographic, Life, New York Times Magazine, GEO, and is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, a Hasselblad Foundation Grant, and the Leica Medal of Excellence. Webb's work is shown by HastedHunt Gallery in NYC and has been exhibited widely in the U.S. and Europe in museums such as the International Center of Photography, the High Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego.
Rebecca Norris Webb, originally a poet and journalist, had her first NYC solo exhibition at Ricco Maresca Gallery in 2006, the same year her first book, The Glass Between Us, was published. Her series, which uses text and images to explore the complicated relationship between people and animals in cities, has also been included in several group exhibitions, including "Why Look at Animals?" at the George Eastman House Museum of Photography. Currently, she's working on a series of photographs in the American West called, "My Dakota." Rebecca edited Alex's two most recent books (Crossings and Istanbul) and teaches photography workshops with him in the U.S., Italy, Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Turkey, and Spain.
