Yesterday saw the fifth and final session in my five week course on Reading Photographs. It was devoted to an open discussion of 13 photographs chosen by class members from a selection of thirty-one suggested by me. The material fell loosely into six categories: portraiture (4 pictures); landscape/environmental (4); wildlife (2); social documentary (1); street photography (1); and conceptual (1). Six of the pictures are shown below.
Members of the class researched the pictures they had chosen and expressed their own interpretations. I believe that the quality of discussion showed that the objectives of the course had been met.
