Christopher Giglio

Inviting Discovery: How a Photograph Comes Alive

Franck, Martine. Balthus and Cat , 1999

Join us on Zoom for a Soho Photo Gallery Speaker Series event with artist and teacher Christopher Giglio.

Christopher’s presentation will draw from his acclaimed Grammar of Photography courses, developed over 25 years of teaching. Using a series of photographic examples, Christopher will examine how photographs can hold more than one possibility—suggesting what might have been and what may yet happen—and how this condition is central to what makes a photograph compelling.

Christopher will also discuss how pairing images, done well, extends these possibilities—allowing meaning to shift and develop between photographs rather than within a single image alone.

The presentation will include a slideshow, followed by a brief Q&A.

Date: Wednesday, April 22, 5 to 6:30pm

Location: Zoom

This FREE, virtual event will be held on Zoom. Please Register to receive the Zoom link which will be emailed to you a few days before the event.
