Challenge your creative vision and open yourself to new ways of seeing with photographer Doug Beasley on this visual exploration of Guatemala - a land where indigenous Mayans live as they have for centuries. Doug leads students outside of themselves to look inward - thereby helping participants increase the boundries of their visual world.
This workshop is designed for photographers searching to expand their artistic/creative horizons. Doug works with students to help them let go of their visual expectations and see what is actually through their viewfinder.
Faculty Information:
Doug is an artist who makes his living as an advertising and editorial photographer in Minneapolis. He received a BFA from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he also studied Eastern Religions and Native American Culture. Both his personal and commercial work have been exhibited nationally and published internationally. In addition, he is the founder and director of the Vision Quest Photographic Arts Retreat Center in Wisconsin. Doug lives in a small wooden house in St. Paul, surrounded by trees, where he tends his Japanese gardens. He is a lover of late night discussions and strong morning coffee. Personal heroes include Lao Tsu, Jimi Hendrix and the Dali Lama.
Other Activities:
Daily group discussions concerned with both internal and external exploration help him determine each individual student's directions and needs. Doug's skill lies in initiating and facilitiating thought-provoking discussions - about all sorts of things that affect our view of the world - which is what our art is all about.
Facility Information:
Emphasis will be less on technique and more on increasing your visual awareness of the world around you. The itinerary for this workshop reflects the instructor's interest in indigenous religions around the world. It is appropriate for photographers of all skill levels.
