Of all the means of expression, photography is the only one that fixes forever the precise and transitory instant. We photographers deal in things that are continually vanishing, and when they have vanished, there is no contrivance on earth that can make them come back again. We cannot develop a print from memory. Photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson: Is the decisive moment just the moment when the shutter is released, or can it be applied to an ancient land or to those who lived here for many thousands of years?
These questions will be the centerpiece of Moshe Rosenzveig's photographic exploration into the heart and center of Australia. Over the week, we shall select the most powerful visual stories and images from a place that has a history encapsulating the horror, beauty and hope of the Australian story. From Alice Springs we will access the magnificent MacDonnell Ranges with its hidden gorges, spectacular ridges and ancient waterholes. We shall visit Aboriginal Communities and listen to their stories.
We will explore the images of European culture rising uncomfortably from an ancient land. Ultimately, you might capture either the answer or the question in the "Decisive Moment". Moshe Rosenzveig is an award winning television producer/director, photojournalist, commercial photographer and educator whose career in the visual arts and media spans 25 years. His photographic work was published in major local and international magazines, featured on CD and book covers and exhibited in various shows including the Sydney Festival and the Museum of Sydney.
Photographic Prerequisites: This intensive and inspiring workshop is designed to suit the beginner or serious enthusiast, indeed anyone who's ready to take their photography to the next level. A Digital or Film SLR with a selection of lenses would be the ideal kit, however, any camera with full manual functionality would also be suitable. Some of the Topics covered in the daily workshops: Preparation for an assignment, building a photo essay or travel journal, mags editing, working with light, creating a mood, environmental portraiture, landscape photography, working with abstract form, color and texture, metering and exposure techniques,
perspective and lens selection, composition, location flash techniques, digital work flow, RAW processing.
Walking Requirements and Grade: In accessing some unique parts of the desert and mountains, we might be required to walk up uneven ascents. A medium level of fitness will be required to take advantage of the spectacular photographic opportunities off the beaten track.
