DESCRIPTION: 

Planned to coincide with Greg Hatton’s exhibition currently on display at the Leica Store Bellevue, this one-of a-kind workshop, offers, for the first time, the opportunity for a small group of photographers to collaborate in a group exhibition, inspirited by the concept of “Process” at the Leica Store in Bellevue. 

Designed as both an investigation and celebration of the process of photography, combining lecture, discussions and hand-on assignments, over the course of four days, attendees will gain deeper insight into the thought process behind planning a showcase of one’s work.

From camera choice and shot selection through to curation and exhibition; Greg Hatton will share all of the pieces that go into creating a deeply personal gallery experience.  

TOPICS COVERED: 

• Steps to preparing work for exhibition
• Different approaches to visual storytelling
• Curiosity, observation, equity, creativity and collaboration
• BTS: How to document what you create
• The importance of community in photography

Students will have the opportunity to prepare new or existing pieces of their own work for showcase in the final show.
