SE Center for Photography

This is a 1 Session Zoom Workshop

This webinar examines the relationships between photographs and words and will give photographers a broad overview of using text and image in, on, and accompanying photographs. The photographer as storyteller is an important genre in photography as words create another layer of description, sometimes as a respite from images and sometimes as a way of elevating and complicating photographs. Join us to consider all the ways to use text in a creative and meaningful way.

Aline Smithson

Aline Smithson is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, educator, and editor based in Los Angeles, California. Her practice examines the archetypal foundations of the creative impulse and she uses humor and pathos to explore the performative potential of photography. She received a BA in art from the University of California at Santa Barbara and was accepted into the College of Creative Studies, studying under significant California artists. After a decade-long career as a New York Fashion Editor, Smithson returned to Los Angeles and to her own artistic practice.

In 2007, Smithson founded LENSCRATCH, a photography journal that celebrates a different contemporary photographer each day. She has been the Gallery Editor for Light Leaks Magazine, a contributing writer for Diffusion, Don’t Take Pictures, Lucida, and F Stop Magazines, written book reviews for photo-eye, and has provided the forewords for artist’s books by Tom Chambers, Meg Griffiths, Flash Forward 12, Micheal Honegger, Nancy Baron, and others. Smithson has curated and jurored exhibitions for numerous galleries, organizations, and on-line magazines, including Review Santa Fe, Critical Mass, Flash Forward, and the Griffin Museum. In addition, she is a reviewer and educator at many photo festivals across the United States.
