Online Masterclass
KYOTOGRAPHIE invites photographers in Japan for an online masterclass “WINK”, with the acclaimed photographer Wing Shya. This masterclass provides an opportunity to dive into the thought process of the photographer and how his images are created. Participants will learn how to develop concepts, prepare for them in extensive research, execute editing, and then, de- and re-construct, or in Wing’s words, “break the rules”, of initial concepts through the entire creation.
Participants will come to the masterclass with a word or a phrase that represents their concepts. As well as getting inspiration from your own copy of Wing Shya’s photobook "distraction / attraction", we encourage an online image search to obtain supporting visual materials related to your concept. The method is relevant today, where a plethora of algorithms are present in our major search engines (Google, Safari, Bing, Firefox, Yahoo, Explorer, etc.) these sequences influence the online experience. We think we have autonomy, but we are consciously directed to everything we see online.
In working with Wing in an online format, we will utilize technology, adapting to our new reality, creating a special online space where we can connect and communicate while developing our practice. Using the chat box enables us to exchange JPGs, screen-grabs and screen sharing allows real time sharing during the editing process, this dynamic situation provides quick feedback, quick editing with influence from your home. Using this paired with Wing’s active interaction creates a dynamic space for exploration.
