New York University and the International Center of Photography, Neleman’s alma mater, recently called on Neleman to return as part-time faculty. Addressing the recent “re-discovery” by young photographers of shooting analog, with large format cameras and film, he titled one of his courses “Back to the Future”, and another one, a hands-on 4x5 large format studio class for ICP, “STILL CRAZY: the History of Still Life in Art and Commerce”. Prior to this, from 1993-1995, while running his studio in New York, Neleman dedicated his time as an adjunct professor at New York University, taught at the School of Visual Arts for two years, and gave regular workshops at the International Center of Photography.
INTERNATIONAL CENTER OF PHOTOGRAPHY
STILL CRAZY: The History of Still Life Photography in Art and Commerce
This course follows the artistic and commercial history of the ‘inanimate object’ from the 17th Century Dutch vanitas, to the digital captures of today’s leading-edge photographers. By studying various art movements that influenced still-life photography, we will better understand the genre and the purpose of ‘Nature Morte’. We'll address symbolic depth and meaning, but equal attention will be given to hands-on practice. Inspired by master artists and photographers, we will experiment with large format cameras, studio lighting techniques, and creative composition.
