 PHOTOGRAPHY

**1 Day Workshop

Portraiture and the

Art of Imitation

with Deborah Feingold

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it is also a highly creative
and playful way to explore one’s own personal style through the guise of imitating others. Photographers are encouraged to have a personal vision,
be unique, and perhaps to see as no one has before. That can sometimes
feel like a daunting task. But, what if you imagined yourself as someone else behind the camera; ignoring that voice, that pressure? What would you
discover about yourself and your style in that process? That is what this workshop explores!
