Sunday Studio

Gather inspiration from the current exhibitions—the campy, demented, and glamorous style of Kenneth Anger's films and the glitz and the distortion of Weegee's celebrity mania photographs, with the Echo Park Film Center and artists Rick Bahto, Alee Peoples, and Cosmo Segurson. The workshop will take place on an imaginary film set, where participants will take photographs that highlight the props and costumes of the scene, catch the cast and crew at work, or alter the image using various analog photographic tricks such as glass and mirrors.
