The Therapeutic Camera Workshop

The concept of the therapeutic camera is needed now more than ever in our society. When there 
is so much cultural pressure surrounding us it is essential that we listen to our own unique voice
 to give form to our ideas and guide us on its evolution. 
Photographers use the camera as a device that records forever the things ones eyes see for only a 
moment and in this age of cell-phone photography we are recording our surroundings more than
ever. This workshop will look at the use of the camera (regardless of size) as a tool of therapy.
 We photograph to record what we see, how we feel, where we were (physically and psychologically) 
and what we have done.
Sometimes the person behind the camera does not realize how much those created images tell
 about themselves. Through exercises and discussions the participants will begin to realize how 
therapeutic the camera can be and how the work created tells the maker so much about themselves.

This class is one of the events at the 2018 Depth of Field and is now full.
