From “Borrowed” Landscapes to Finding Pathos | Photographing the Midcoast of Maine: A Workshop with George Nobechi`

  • Blenheim Park Maine LLC (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Spend five days with photographer George Nobechi. George will travel to Maine from Japan to bring his highly regarded Japanese Sensibilities in Photographic Practice online class to an in-person setting for the first time. In this course, George will teach participants the basics of several Japanese artistic concepts with applications to photography. The objective of this class is for participants to hone their eye for quiet, deeply meaningful photography, to learn the basics of a number of Japanese concepts that can be used in their artistic practice, and crucially, to be able to use them in settings almost anywhere in the world. George has chosen Maine as the first place to teach this course outside of Japan because of its natural beauty, but also its rich history and the great potential of photography it holds at the intersection of the human and natural conditions. George visited and photographed Maine in 2014 and 2016, and has been eager to return.
