The Atlanta Photography Group (APG) is now accepting entries of photographic-based images in honor of the upcoming exhibition at the High Museum of Art of André Kertész’s work on Carte Postale. https://high.org/exhibition/andre-kertesz-postcards-from-paris/ This CFE asks artists to submit work focused on creating new ways of seeing their surroundings. Images may cross photographic practices and may include fine art, avant-garde, photojournalism, documentary work and more. What would your photographic postcard consist of and where would it come from in this moment - home, a road trip, your studio or maybe a place within your imagination or memory? Like Kertész’s images, we want to see not only what is around you in a physical, or literal form, but also how you interpret what you see in a very personal and intimate way and how it speaks to you.

Learn to harness light to reveal the essence of your subject and explore lighting stylistically from editorial to as fine art. In this workshop, you will take your first steps in developing a personal style and help you with advancing your photography to the next level. Attendees learn simple to advanced lighting concepts both in studio and in various out-of-studio environments. In this class we will be using people as the primary subject. However, the techniques being are universal and can be employed to light a wide variety of subject matter. Utilizing natural light and off camera lighting techniques to pursue innovative strategies for light placement, modification and lighting ratios, you’ll be creating amazing images in no time. This workshop will be led by Chat Sirichanvimol.

Use your photography to explore the sculptural side of books! Students in this four-week class will learn how to use the accordion book structure to reveal photographic narratives. Demos will be given on how to construct accordion books three different ways, plus a few more variations. Along the way, students will create their own handmade books that express their personal photographic content. All levels of experience are welcome. workshop leader: Cynthia Lollis is a professor of printmaking and book arts in Atlanta.
