ABOUT

In this installment of The Photography Workshop Series, Larry Fink—well known for his layered pictures in social settings—explores composing photographs and improvising within a scene to create images with both feeling and meaning. Larry Fink was a professor at Yale University School of Art; Cooper Union School of Art and Architecture; Parsons the New School for Design; Tyler School of Art, Temple University; and Bard College. His work has been widely exhibited in the United States, including solo exhibitions at Light Gallery, New York; Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge; Museum of Modern Art, New York; and San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Aperture Foundation works with the world’s top photographers to distill their creative approaches to, teachings on, and insights into photography — offering the workshop experience in a book. Their goal is to inspire photographers at all levels who wish to improve their work, as well as readers interested in deepening their understanding of the art of photography. Through words and photographs, in this volume Fink reveals insight into his own practice and discusses a wide range of creative issues, from connecting with the subject in front of the lens to shaping a vision that is authentic.
