In the seventh installment of The Photography Workshop Series,
Catherine Opie--well known for her dynamic portraits and landscapes that
speak to identity and community--offers her insight into creating
photographs that navigate the contemporary landscape, as well as the
landscape of the body and constructed identity.
Aperture Foundation works with the world's top photographers to distill
their creative approaches to, teachings on, and insights into
photography--offering the workshop experience in a book. Our goal is to
inspire photographers of all levels who wish to improve their work, as
well as readers interested in deepening their understanding of the art
of photography. Through images and words, in this volume Catherine Opie
shares her creative process and discusses a wide range of issues, from
representing subcultures and marginalized communities, to making
confrontational work that reimagines and subverts expectations.
