A Workshop of Interpreting Nature Via Photography Related To Training in Terms of Seeing

Abstract

The act of seeing comes before words. The word, "to see" defined as to perceive the existence of something by means of eye has a different meaning from the word "to look". This difference can be expressed as "to see what we look". The word, " to look" is selecting/picking obtaining / and is the knowledge and ability obtained during practice. Visual communication has started a serious revival period in daily life with camera. Camera, in a sense, has had a powerful effect on the relationship between the verbal and the visual. In this sense, a workshop was held in a photography workshop, in an event organized as Third Traditional Guzelyurt Ihlara Summer Art Academy in order to make the sensitivity of seeing clear and to arouse awareness. Based on that, a seeing way lies behind each image and considering the idea that photographs are not just mechanic records (Berger, 2004), a person is aimed to obtain the difference between seeing and looking by experiencing it in the workshop.
