Photographic artist Robert Gullie visits Sage

On September 11th, the Topics in Photography course participated in a hand-coloring workshop at Sage with photographic artist, Robert Gullie. The students explored the 19th century art of hand painting silver prints in a contemporary context, applying these techniques to photographic imagery.

Some of the techniques Robert shared included hand-coloring, photo collage construction, and his book illustrations.

As we begin a new academic year, this engaging workshop served to introduce the students to advanced photographic techniques that mixed historic processes with contemporary applications.
