She currently teaches at the Maryland Institute College of Art, where her experience as a photographer began. Connie has also served as an instructor at The Maine Photographic Workshops, The International Center for Photography in New York City, the Center for Photography in Woodstock, Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, Rencontres Internationales de la Photographie in France, and The Sante Fe Photographic Workshops. ==Early Work== Imboden was introduced to photography during the summer following her junior year in high school when she enrolled in a Basic Photography course at the Maryland Institute College of Art. Having previously shown no interest in art, she was inspired by the penetrating work of Diane Arbus and the potential for expression through photography. It quickly became a passionate pursuit that would last a lifetime. Experimenting with negatives by cutting, scratching, and melting them, Imboden’s early images are introspective self portraits that show early signs of the psychological qualities that would eventually become characteristic of her work. Many of these photographs of the angsty and introspective 16-year-old involve the representation of masks, another recurring theme through Imboden’s career. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Connie Imboden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
