Learn
As a Fine Art Photographer educator, my intention is to provide learners with enough fundamentals to be able to begin making images that are meaningful to them. In this process, I find it essential to emphasize images’ meanings and to place the value of tools used to make images as a secondary consideration. Absent such guidance, learners may be easily distracted from the interior work of making images that are meaningful to them, by the lure of a new lens or camera. I prefer to see learners create self-assignments that will sustain their interest. My experience is that adult learners flourish most in environments that provide critique. Feedback is the breakfast of champions. When learners identify gaps between what they want their images to say and their mastery of the tools, it is appropriate to introduce new tools or to expand learners’ mastery of the tools they are using.
