SPAO’s Concept Classes provide an invaluable opportunity to connect directly with renowned artists and explore four critical photographic genres: landscape/architecture, documentary, still life, and portraiture. 

The Still Life Concepts classes alternate between guest lectures by renowned still life artists and hands-on experimentation in the studio. Classes will engage critically with still life concepts such as Vanitas and memento mori.

In the studio, students can expect to explore a variety of studio lighting methods, styles, and techniques such as Speedlite, strobe and continuous lighting. Students can also expect to learn how to use scanography as a method of image making, and practice sculpting their object through macro/ tabletop shooting.
