Ready to express yourself? Art is an expressed opinion about the world and about yourself. In that sense, photography is not constrained by two-dimensional reproductions of objects—it is a representation of our world-view. The photographed objects are mere vehicles for this self-expression! Join Alex in this Master Class, and examine your philosophies of life, the universe and everything else with this single purpose: to enable each of you to express your beliefs through photography.
