Cyanotype: Wet and Traditional

Los Angeles Center of Photography See all classes by this school

One of the early photographic processes, invented in 1842 by Sir John Hirschel, was the cyanotype. It is based on sunlight causing a change in a light sensitive emulsion brushed onto paper or fabric. Many of the early photographic images were called “sun prints” because they had to be exposed using UV lights, or sunlight. This is a contact print process, and you will need negatives the size you would like your final image to be. We will start...

Class Description

Description

This 6-week online course is devoted to learning and sharing queer histories within photography, asking if it is not embodied, can it be shared?

Tracing relationships between writing, performance and photography, students will gain a deeper understanding of queer narratives in photography while producing work in response to these histories. This course will consist of lecture, discussion, assignments focused on storytelling and personal narrative, optional readings and invitations to share work as a group and in one-on-one settings. Students will leave with a grasp on how their stories are situated within history, along with practical tools and rituals to bring forward into their practice.

The course lifts its title from Claude Cahun's book, Disavowals, Cancelled Confessions, and draws inspiration from the instructor's ongoing body of work that responds to Cahun's legacy and honors a devotion to those who have come before us, and will come after us, in the queer bibliography.

Remote Learning

This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
