Approaching series-based work and pursuing a personal vision with Kit Young
Join Kit Young at Leica Gallery Salzburg for an intensive one-day workshop to develop your sensitivity towards creating series-based work and pursuing a personal vision. The hands-on workshop will combine a classroom-based component, providing a deep dive into how series-based work is created and drawing on examples of work published by Kit, and a photo walk around Salzburg, featuring a range of assignments designed to get participants thinking about more abstract ways of approaching subject matter with a view to creating a series.
Kit Young was born in 1984. He set out on his photographic journey in 2009 when he moved to France where he joined a group of Paris-based photographers led by Gérard Moulin. It was during this period that Kit began to explore the infinite possibilities of darkroom printing and the juxtaposition of seemingly unrelated moments in time to create visual patterns as part of series-based work.
“I consider myself to be a photographer and a printer. I think that’s an important distinction to make. I don’t just take photos; I make photos too. The photographer in me is responsive, impulsive, reacting to subject matter on the spur of the moment, more often than not giving very little thought to anything more than the lines and tone of what’s in front of me; the printer in me is methodical, exacting, always working in a more meditative way. I do, however, think that both the photographer and printer in me are curious, inquisitive and often playful – and neither is afraid to make mistakes.”
When: Saturday 18 April: 09:30-16:00. The workshop will take place come rain or shine
