Guggenheim Museum

Digital Workshop: Photography
Fall 2008

Program Description
This fall, the Guggenheim will mount an exhibit of photographs by the American artist Catherine Opie. Opie’s images deal with a variety of subjects, including identity, community, urban space, and definitions of family. Over the course of eight weeks, participants in the Digital Photography Workshop will use Opie’s work as a jumping off point. They will shoot photographs that represent their own experiences, and edit their photographs in Adobe Photoshop CS3. Prior experience with photography or Photoshop is not necessary.
