Challenge your creativity to make photos unique to your visual signature. The beauty of abstraction relies on the eyes of the photographer. In this workshop, we will focus on finding visual cues that will strengthen your understanding of how design, texture and light play into abstract photography. Attendees can choose to photograph in either black and white or color, but should stick to one mode for the duration of the workshop. The workshop will incorporate a walk, starting at The Avenue of the Stars and circling back to the Annenberg Space for Photography.

For 50 years, Leica Galleries across the globe have existed as more than mere exhibition spaces. They are places for imagination, dialogue, and connection. Since the first Leica Gallery opened in Wetzlar in 1976, a global network of Leica Galleries has grown across continents. These galleries are united by the belief that images have the power to move people and change perspectives. The Leica Galleries celebrate the art of seeing and the power of photography. They have been bringing cultures, generations, and stories together, spanning borders, for half a century—reinforcing the idea that true photography is timeless and that seeing is still a universal language.
