THE EXPRESSION OF IDENTITY
WORKSHOP :
A two-day photo workshop with Steve McCurry, Jock Sturges
and Amedeo M.Turello
August 31 – September 1, 2012
Nira Alpina
Renowned photographers Steve
McCurry, Jock Sturges and Amedeo M.Turello will each present a half-day
practical workshop on portraiture, figurative and fashion photography during
the St Moritz Art Masters 2012. The workshops will provide students with an
exceptional opportunity to witness three very different artists at work and
aims to drive each student further in their expectations of the medium. All
photographers will be on hand throughout each workshop allowing students to
plan out their shots.
A breakfast at the Nira
Alpina on day 1 will give all participants a chance to meet the photographers,
allowing the students intimate, unprecedented access to the artists and
offering the opportunity answer any questions prior to work commencing. Constant
discussion throughout the sessions is encouraged however, due to over
subscription in 2011, the photography workshops have been scaled down and
numbers will be limited.
Friday August 31 - Day 1
Breakfast with the
Photographers
9h – 10h
Nira Alpina
10h – 13h
Figurative with Jock Sturges
- The Portrait and the Nude
Nira Alpina
This demonstration course
will consist of an in depth immersion in both the technical and psychological
challenges inherent to making clothed and nude portraits. Paramount will be a
close examination of the concept of relationship in working with models with an
emphasis on accepting as opposed to imposing “poses”. On the technical end, a
rapid, intuitive use of the camera will be taught. There will be an emphasis on
skills that are intended to liberate them from the sort of deliberate
methodology that is so often inimical to spontaneity.
13h – 17h
Portraiture with Steve
McCurry
Nira Alpina
This unique and intimate
workshop given by one of the world’s most successful photographers is a chance
to witness how the perfect portrait image can be structured. Steve is open to
all questions and will take time to explain his methodology in detail. Working
with almost no external equipment apart from his camera, he shows that the real
technique lies in the soul of the photographer. The workshop at the Nira Alpina
will be the only workshop given in Europe this year.
Saturday September 1 - Day 2
Fashion with Amedeo M.Turello
-
10h – 16h
Nira Alpina
This workshop will be a
unique opportunity for students to work closely with the fashion industry, in
tandem with a team of professional models, stylists, hair stylists and make up
artists. The aim of the course is to let your imagination illustrate situations
in which an editorial for a generic fashion magazine is planned and produced.
Students will work with female models in order to produce strong images that
provoke in every student new challenges and expectations. The workshop is an
extreme, personal and intimate search between the subject and the students and
is supervised by Amedeo and his team allowing each student to express their own
personal vision through their images. Amedeo will also illustrate with concrete
examples the logic and reasoning between commission demands and personal
creativeness.
Please note that the workshop
will be held in English.
