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 Portraits Concepts classes alternate between guest lectures by renowned portrait photographers and in-studio experimentation with focuses on the theatrics, authenticity, and intimacy of portrait photography.  

 Over the course of 10 weeks, students will engage critically with topics such as the gaze, and self portraiture vs the selfie, and will explore a variety of studio lighting methods and production, while navigating the dynamics of photographing live subjects.
