LIGHT PAINTING FOR NIGHT OWLS AND EARLY BIRDS RAGNE KRISTINE SIGMOND
On our workshop with Ragne Kristine Sigmond it is all about light and light painting in particular. We will explore the wonders of light, and furthermore the possibilities light painting technique, combined with long exposure times, and dark surroundings, brings to our images and creative prosess. This workshop will teach you light painting on interior, landscape and with a model. You will, the more you master this technique, experience that your light painting strokes become more and more personal. We will be shooting in the evenings, at night, and in the morning to capture the soft light that comes with the golden hour. We will seek out interesting locations for the students like old greenhouses, churches, boat houses, old forests that have a curtain mythical quality to them and will work as interesting backdrop. Light painting is equal to “slow photography”. A picture takes from 30 seconds to several minutes to make. Because light painting itself adds a lot of mystique and atmosphere to the photography, most often very little has to be added in post production. DATES: TUITION: LOCATION:
På vår workshop med Ragne Kristine Sigmond vil vi utforske lysets magi, og leke oss med lange eksponeringstider i mørke omgivelser. Denne workshopen vil lære deg lysmaling på interiør, i landskap og med modell. Du vil, etterhvert som teknikken beherskes, oppleve at dine lys-strøk bli mer og mer personlige. For å fange det myke lyset som kommer med den gyldne timen, vil mye av fotograferingen foregå om kveldene, om natten og tidlig om morgenen. Vi vil fotografere ute på locations, og benytte oss av unike bygg i området, som gamle drivhus, kirkebygg, båthus, samt gamle skoger, som kan bidra til å skape mystikk og undring og fungere som interessante baktepper for bildene. Lysmaling er «langsom fotografering». Et bilde tar fra 30 sekunder til flere minutter å lage. Og fordi lysmaling selv legger til mye mystikk og atmosfære i fotografiet, er det ofte svært lite man trenger å gjøre med bildet i postproduksjon. Så hvis du liker å bruke tid på å komponere bilder, som skapes i sin helhet i kameraet, og ikke i etterbehandling, så er lysmaling for deg.

UNDER THE SURFACE - A PORTRAIT WORKSHOP JOYCE TENNESON
The Iconic Photographer Joyce Tenneson is returning to Norway to teach an exclusive workshop at SAGA, as well as be one of the main guests at the Nordic Light Events. This is a unique opportunity to experience and work with one of the most influential photographers of our time.
Den ikoniske fotografen Joyce Tenneson kommer tilbake til Norge i 2018 for å holde workshop på SAGA, samt delta på Nordic Light Fotofestival i Kristiansund. Dette er en unik mulighet til å oppleve og lære av en av de mest innflytelsesrike fotografer i vår tid.
Our workshop will be focused on Tenneson’s portrait work, where participants will learn to approach their subject with the intention of capturing portraits that go beyond the surface. “I want to allow others to reveal and celebrate aspects of themselves that are usually hidden” Tenneson says about her approach to portrait-photography.
Vår workshop med Tenneson vil ha fokus på portretter som går under overflaten, som ser igjennom fasaden og viser oss mennesket bak. “Jeg ønsker å gi rom for andre til å avdekke og feire sider ved seg selv som vanligvis er skjult”, sier Joyce om sine tilnœrming til portrettet fotografering.
Joyce started her carrier with self-portraits, before she ventured into portraits of others and has since been voted one of America’s most interesting portrayers of the human character. We will be working with natural light, both inside SAGA’s studio but also out in nature. Each day will include lectures, image critic, demonstration of the Tenneson approach, and shooting time with models. Joyce will share with the students how she prepares and sets up a shoot, the way she lights it, and the way she works with her subject to get them at ease and relaxed so they will reveal their true inner self. DATE: TUITION: LOCATION:
Joyce startet sin foto karriere med selvportretter, før hun gikk over til å ta portretter av andre, og har siden blitt kåret til en av USA’s mest interessante portrettører av den menneskelige karakteren. Vi vil jobbe med naturlig lys, både i studio, men også ute i naturen. Workshopen består av forelesninger, bildekritikk, demonstrasjon av ‘The Tenneson Way’ og fotografering med modeller. Joyce vil dele med elevene hvordan hun forbereder og setter opp et opptak, lyssetting, samt måten hun jobber med personen foran kamera slik at de føler seg trygge og avslappede nok til å la masken falle og vise frem den de egentlig er.

WARP ICELAND - A CREATIVE EXPLOSION JONATHAN LAURENCE
Multimedia artist and photographer Jonathan Laurence will challenge your perception of landscape photography in our Iceland adventure of 2018. You will learn to develop new ways of seeing, perceiving, and depicting the visual world, not only through your camera lens, but also through the use of post-production treatments and effects. We will visit known landmarks in The Golden Circle area, landmarks that have been photographed countless times before, but instead of capturing the usual photographs, you will be challenged to create your own interpretation of the scenery through the use of creative treatments and presentations. Ex. how will it look if you took 10 identical image of Geysir, but gave each one a different colour treatment, or used a slow video treatment with sound, or created a grid showing different parts of Geysir. It is all about creating visual interesting images. You will be challenged to stretch your talent, and we urge you to be open to trying new things, and see how far you can go. You will create multilayered images, art pieces, and photo series, that represents your artistic vision, but also is a reflection of the surrounding landscape. Our goal is for you to expand your creative muscle and test out new concepts, in addition to capturing Iceland through your camera lens. DATES: TUITION: LOCATION:

Multimedia artist og fotograf Jonathan Laurence vil utfordre din oppfatning av landskapsfotografering på vår Islands eventyr for 2018. Du vil se verden på en ny måte, når vi tøyer fotografiets egenskaper. Det handler ikke lengre om å skildre landskapet du ser med kameralinsen, men det handler like mye om de mulighetene som ligger i å skape en visualisering av et sted, når vi tillates å bruke alle verktøyene vi har tilgjengelige. Vi vil besøke kjente landemerker i området ‘The Golden Circle’. Landemerker som har blitt fotografert utallige ganger før, men i stedet for å fange de vanlige fotografiene, vil du bli utfordret til å lage din egen fortolkning av stedet, hvor du tenker konsept og planlegger foto, etterbehandling og presentasjon allerede i møte med stedet. Ex. hvordan vil det se ut om du tok 10 identiske bilder av Geysir, men ga hvert bilde en annen fargebehandling, eller filmet Geysir med slow video som effekt og kanskje lyd, eller lagde en collage som viser forskjellige deler av Geysir. Det handler om å skape visuelle, interessante bilder med alle verktøyene i boksen. Du vil bli utfordret til å tøye ditt talent, og vi oppfordrer deg til å være åpen for å prøve nye ting, og se hvor langt du kan strekke deg. Du kan lage bilder med flere dimensjoner, kunst-montasjer og fotoserier, som representerer din kunstneriske visjon, men er også en refleksjon av det omkringliggende landskapet. Vårt mål er at du skal utvide din kreative muskel og teste ut nye konsepter, i tillegg til å fange Island gjennom kameralinsen.

WET PLATE COLLODION JILL ENFIELD
This workshop will transport you back to the beginning of photography and teach you to create glass negatives and tintypes using wet plate techniques from the 1860s. Our instructor Jill Enfield, has written two books about the topic and is regarded as one of America’s most experienced and respected alternative process artists.
Denne workshopen vil ta deg tilbake til begynnelsen, og lære deg å lage glass negativer og tin positiver ved hjelp av våte plate teknikker fra 1860-tallet. Vår instruktør Jill Enfield, har skrevet to bøker om emnet, og regnes som en av USAs mest erfarne og respekterte alternative prosess kunstnere.
The collodion process, which is said to have been invented in about 1850, was the first widely used photographic process that produced a negative image on a transparent photographic medium. Other methods of the time, such as the Daguerreotype, produced a one-of-a-kind positive image, which could not be replicated easily. With the collodion process, however, the photographer could make an unlimited number of prints from a single negative.
Våt Plate Collodion, sies å ha blitt oppfunnet i ca 1850, og var den første allment brukte fotografiske prosessen som produserte et negativt bilde på en gjennomsiktig fotografisk medium. Andre fremgangsmåter, slik som Daguerreotypiprosessen, produserte et unikt positivt bilde, men da uten mulighet til å reprodusere det. Collodion prosessen hadde mange fordeler da den kom, og en av dem var at man kunne lage et ubegrenset antall utskrifter fra en enkelt negativ.
The workshop will cover the entire process from cutting and preparing glass & aluminum, mixing and handling chemicals, safety procedures, making portable darkrooms, assessment of exposure time, evaluation of results, and all that goes into mastering the wet plate collodion process.
Workshopen vil dekke hele prosessen fra å kutte og forberede glass og aluminium, miksing og håndtering av kjemikalier, sikkerhetsprosedyrer, oppsett av bærbart mørkerom, vurdering av eksponeringstiden, evaluering av resultater, og alt som hører med for å mestre våtplate colodion teknikken.

THE NUDE AS FORM CONNIE IMBODEN
ON LAND AND IN WATER The goal of our workshop with Connie Imboden is to learn to use the camera as a tool to discover new ways of looking at and interpreting the human form. By looking at it as form, we will learn to develop an intuitive visual approach in photographing the body, in order to see it in a new way and be truly original with this most popular subject.
Målet på vår workshop med Connie Imboden er å lære deltakerne å bruke kameraet som et verktøy for å oppdage nye måter å se og tolke menneskelig form på. Ved å se kroppen som en form, vil vi utvikle en intuitiv visuell tilnærming. Vi vil se med nye øyner og på det viset finne det originale, i akt, som er og blir det mest populære temaet i kunsten.
The workshop will consist of lectures, discussions, exercises, assignments, image critic and a lot of shooting time. The first day is spent looking closely at the human body as form. We then go outside and look at the human form in relation to nature. We will spent 2 days shooting at a private pool to practise shooting in, under and above water.
Workshopen er bygd opp rundt foredrag, diskusjoner, øvelser, kreative oppgaver, bilde kritikk og mye fotografering. Første dag går til å studere menneskets form. Så går vi ut og ser på menneskets form i forhold til naturen. Vi vil tilbringe 2 dager i vann, hvor vi leier et privat basseng, slik at deltakerne får øve seg på å fotografere i, under og over vannflaten.
Students will leave this workshop with a new approach in photographing nudes. You will also discovered the magic that can happen when we transform the human form by using reflections, water, mirroring, movement, and light.
Du vil forlate denne workshopen med en ny tilnærming til fotografering av akt. Du vil oppdage magien i å forvandler menneskets form ved bruk av refleksjoner, vann, speil, bevegelse og lys.

PLATINUM PRINTING TILLMAN CRANE
Any photographer, working in any format, film-based or digital, can make platinum prints today. Also known as platinum/palladium or platinotypes, this process dates back to the late 1800’s. The unique look of a platinum print is due to the emulsion being absorbed into the paper, rather than sitting on top and expanded steps between pure black and pure white both contributing to the deeper, richer feeling you experience when looking at these prints.
Uavhengig av om du arbeider med analoge eller digitale foto-prosesser kan du lage Platinum Print av bildene dine. Også kjent som platina / palladium eller platinotyper, denne populære fotografiske prosessen stammer helt tilbake til slutten av 1800-tallet. Det unike utseendet til platina-utskrift skyldes at emulsjonen blir absorbert i papiret, i stedet for å sitte på toppen. Et større spekter mellom rent svart og rent hvitt, bidrar til en dypere og mer delikat print.
This workshop will give the beginner platinum printer the knowledge and experience to make platinum prints. The more experienced platinum printer can use this workshop to build on your skill set and help solve problem printing issues. We will work primarily with the NA2 platinum/palladium process, but discuss other platinum processes. With plenty of one– on-one guidance and a focus on making prints, this workshop is guaranteed to build your skills.
Denne workshopen vil gi nybegynnere kunnskap og erfaring til å selv lage platina-utskrifter. Den mer erfarne Platina printeren kan bruke denne workshopen til å utvide sin erfaring og finjuster teknikker. Vi vil primært jobbe med NA2 platina / palladium prosessen, men og diskutere andre platinprosesser. Det blir mye one-on-one veiledning, og med et sterk fokus på å lage gode utskrifter, vil workshop bygge opp dine ferdigheter som Platina printer.
Students should bring digital files of images they wish to print. Due to the cost off chemistry, and paper, the platinum printing is considered a highend prosess. The print created is the most durable of all photographic processes.
Studentene må ta med digitale filer av bilder de ønsker å skrive ut. På grunn av kjemi og papir kostnaden ansees denne utskrift metoden som eksklusiv. Samt at Platina utskrifter er de mest holdbare av alle fotografiske prosesser.

PORTRAITS AND POST-PRODUCTION WILLIAM ROPP
THE SHADOW SCULPTOR William Ropp is known for his unique style, where his images are so dimensional and expressive that they look like they are sculpted from shadow and light. This is a workshop for photographers whom want to push their portrait skills to a new level, as well as master the post-production part of portrait photography. Participants will learn how to create amazing and different portraits using William’s flashlight technique before we go into intensive photoshop sessions, where you get first hand introduction to Williams special approach. You will gain an insight into his specific approach regarding the portrait; how he treats his models to get them to feel at ease and safe, and how just with a short talk he helps them to open up to the photographer so it is possible to “see the soul mirrored in their eyes”. There will also be a part in the workshop dedicated to his lighting technique, where he will show participants how to sculpt a body or a still life with the beam of a torch lamp.

William Ropp er kjent for sin unike stil, hvor bildene hans er så dimensjonale og uttrykksfulle at de ser ut som de er skulpturert fra skygge og lys. Hans portretter gir ofte en følelse av at personen på bildet ser på betrakteren, og ikke omvendt. Legger du til kvaliteten på lyset, så er det ikke overraskende at Williams arbeider fanger stor interesse i kunstmiljøer. Dette er en workshop for fotografer som ønsker å ta sine portretter til et nytt nivå, samt mestre etterbehandling av bildet i photoshop. Deltakerne vil lære å skape fantastiske og annerledes portretter ved å ta i bruk Williams spesielle lys-teknikk, før vi vender fokuset på hans tilnærming i Photoshop, hvor det blir gitt grundig gjennomgang. Du vil også få et innblikk i hans tilnærming angående portrett; hvordan han behandler sine modeller for å få dem til å føle seg vel og trygg, og hvordan han med en kort samtale hjelper dem til å åpne seg for fotografen, så det er mulig å “se inn i sjelens speil”. Workshopen dekker og demonstrasjon og øving med Williams spesielle lys-teknikk, hvor han ”maler” modellen, eller et stilben, ved bruk av lommelykt. Vi vil ha modellene tilgjengelig for deltakerne å fotografere, og et parr ulike studioer klar slik at deltakerne får nok muligheter til å teste ut og forbedre sin personlige tilnærming til teknikken.

ICELAND Iceland is a country of sharp contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by the summer’s midnight sun. The country is also known for its great variety in scenery and landscape. Iceland was the last European country to be settled, mostly by Norsemen in the 9th and 10th centuries. They came mainly from Norway and elsewhere in Scandinavia, and from the Norse settlements in the British Isles, from where a Celtic element was also introduced. The language and culture of Iceland were predominantly Scandinavian from the outset, but there are traces of Celtic influence in some of the ancient poetry, in some personal names and in the apperance of present-day Icelanders. Our workshop in Iceland takes place in the Golden Circle, close to the major attractions in South Iceland such as Geysir, Gullfoss and Thingvellir National Park.
