Our level 2 class will build on the lessons learned in Level 1, and push your illusion techniques and expand your creativity further. 

 

This class will challenge you to explore different ways to utilise the power of suspense in an image. Connie will inspire you to really look at the way you make photographs, and stretch you imagination and creativity to new heights. To balance your creations on the line between reality and imagination, is a powerful tool to have as a photographer and artist.

 

Connie makes all her illusions in camera, nothing is added in post-production, other then colour correction, contrast, brightness and darkness. The images can be cropped, and elements cloned out, but the illusion is created in front of the lense, which the students are encouraged to follow as well. 

​

We will employ illusionistic techniques through assignments, discussions and critiques. There will be assignment given between each class to challenge your vision and spark your creativity.  

 

Connie Imboden is an artist whom pushes the photographic medium to its highest level. Especially nudes, where her constant quest is to find new ways to examine, distort and redefine the human body often using reflections in water and mirrors.

 

Her photographs are represented in many collections including The Museum of Modern Art in New York, The Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco, The Philadelphia Museum of Art, Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Germany as well as many other public and private collections throughout Europe and the Americas.
