Educational program - Photography
As an opportunity for photographic education,
the Beyond Spheres Project will offer work-shops sessions
for hands-on training in fine art photography. Antique
photographic proc-esses, such as Calotype (paper negative)
and Salted Paper printing, will be taught includingthe
philosophy of the process. Each photography shooting ession
(Calotype shooting tour) will have 2 to 3 assistants.Traditional
photo processing workshops will be conducted at respective
local schools and museums along the route the photographic
team travels.
At present the world of photography is becoming increasingly
digital; the supply for materials and equipment for traditional
photographic processes (silver salt image photo-graphs)
has become extremely rare while those photographers aspiring
to work tradition-ally are also decreasing. Based on this
situation, the emphasis of the photo workshop is to preserve
and continue traditional photography via instruction in
large format photography,Calotype, salted paper, platinum
print, and gum print. With the support of artists and
people involved in photographic education, a learning
opportunity for local students and art enthusiasts will
be provided.
