June 30th Session One Description:

In his presentations Wing shows the variety of ways he has photographically interacted

with thousands of strangers to create images that go below the surface to suggest

complex narratives. Multiple points of views are engaged when participants are asked to

discuss what they see in his culturally loaded photos that are open to interpretation.

Back-stories to the photos are then revealed to complicate and challenge initial

perceptions.

Participants will give a brief introduction about their photography and what they want to

get out of this workshop. Then discuss what and how they will photograph in the

following week that will challenge them to get outside of their bubbles. To understand

yourself it is important to understand the world around you!
