Moving Forward with Your Photography:
Developing and Marketing Your Work
Joyce Tenneson, March 15 - March 21, 2009
Santa Fe Workshops

Are you a photographer who creates wonderful images but does not have an outlet for them? This is a week for brainstorming and investigating ways to promote your work for galleries, book projects, or commercial use. Through information-packed PowerPoint presentations and field trips that encourage participants to see their work in new ways, the goal is to inspire everyone to re-connect with that original passion for photography and feel confident about moving forward in the future.

This is not a workshop devoted to making new photographs. Instead, Joyce focuses on working one-on-one to address each individual’s photography and goals. Based on the portfolios participants bring to Santa Fe, Joyce designs exercises that will aid in building their work and creating a blueprint for the future. Whether your interest is in portraits, nudes, landscapes, or still lifes, this workshop is designed to help you achieve the next level and to provide a forum for discussing new possibilities. Joyce provides a week of inspiration and insight for all who want to investigate their own style.

How do you bring together naked ballerinas and nude, distinguished elders, twins and body builders, housewives and animal trainers, bruised beauties, libidinous artists, gun-nuts and radiant, luminous women for not one but two nights of fun? Get New York Photographer Sarah Small to ask them nicely!

Dozens of brave men and women, the naked and the clothed, will collaborate in two evenings dedicated to Small's Tableau Vivant based on her ongoing photographic series, *The Delirium Constructions.

On February 10 (Small's 30th Birthday), Small assembled her sublime cast of characters at the "Jewel" Street Studios in Brooklyn for a marathon photo session. With disarming directorial persuasion, she arranged her subjects, staging moments of uncanny interaction and fixing them in her uniquely suspenseful visual style. The fruit of this photo shoot is forming the blueprint for a beta-version "re-take," and this time, everyone's invited.

On March 14th, Small will re-convene the same cast of subjects again at Jewel Street Studios in Brooklyn for a decadent party (sponsored by Chopin Vodka), as the Public joins in to reconstruct the first shoot in a sprawling, living photograph. Guests will drink and dine within the unsettling confines of her creation. The Tableau will echo and transform what has gone before, spinning new tales, distorted by the social element.

Sarah Small, from Brooklyn in NY, is a portraitist of the dislocated emotion, earning accolades from far and wide. Her images have appeared in publications such as Life Magazine, Rolling Stone, and The New York Times. It has been exhibited at Exit Art Gallery, The Corcoran Gallery, and The Australian Center for Photography. She has also been the recipient of numerous awards; most recently named by American Photo, as one of the 13 top photographers working today.

The project will be documented and celebrated online at http://www.SarahSmall.com
