Low Res Photo Intensive Course

Low Res Photo Intensive Course

Presented by Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography at Gallery 44 Centre for Contemporary Photography

Get your creativity flowing! Low Res is a great opportunity for emerging artists to push the boundaries of their practice, build understanding and develop connections in the Toronto art community with a small, supportive group of peers.

Over eight 6-hour sessions we will collectively work through experimental group activities to hone and sharply define the intention and delivery of our creative voices through photography. The key focus of this program will be developing our advanced visual literacy, redefining the way we approach photography. We will have group discussions, critiques, creative experiments, writing exercises, field trips and more.

This course will be co-lead by artists Darren Rigo and Camille Rojas on an alternating schedule.

Darren Rigo (he/him) is a Toronto-based artist, photographer and educator with a decade of experience mounting exhibitions, visiting residencies and looking carefully at photographs.

Camille Rojas (b. 1993 Toronto; lives and works in Toronto) is a multidisciplinary artist & artist-researcher working with film, photography and contemporary dance. Her work uses movement as the primary vehicle to dissect ideas and emotions. Recent interests include: Art world hysteria, self-care, astrology, whistleblowing, shit-disturbing, stock market drama and computer vision science. She holds a BFA in Photography Studies from Toronto Metropolitan University School of Image Arts.
