INSTRUCTOR INDEX

A PASSION FOR PHOTOGRAPHY! MY LOVE AFFAIR WITH PHOTOGRAPHY began when I

was a junior in college — in retrospect, one of the finest years of my life. I was studying in London and used this great city as a springboard to travel throughout the British Isles, continental Europe, and the Soviet Union. As I packed for my year abroad, I thought it would be good to take a camera along so I could make pictures of all the amazing places I would see. Little did I know that this simple decision to buy a camera would change the way I experienced the world and, on a larger scale, the way I lived my life. During those first weeks in London, all my senses seemed heightened by my crude attempts to capture on film what I saw and felt. Speaker’s Corner, Portabello Road, Richmond Hill, and Kew Gardens became my picture-taking haunts. I enrolled in a photography class and learned how to develop film and make prints in the darkroom. Very quickly I was hooked, as this new interest consumed both my waking hours and my dreams at night. I wandered the streets of London, Edinburgh, Penzance, Dublin, Florence, Leningrad, and Moscow with my camera and a new appreciation for the sights, smells, and surprises of my surroundings. My passion for photography became deeply embedded in my body and soul, changing my lifeforever. I witness a similar zeal in the people who come to the Workshops. I sense their desire to capture, now on a digital sensor, the moments in life that captivate and inspire them. I feel their commitment to learning how to better use the tools of photography — the cameras, computers, software, printers, and yes, film. I marvel at the joy they experience while exploring their creativity. Photography deepens our connections to the world around us, to ourselves, and to one another. It adds meaning and delight to our lives. My own love affair with imagemaking is now 35 years young, and I have never stopped appreciating how fortunate I am to be able to express what I see and feel through photography. Photography is a gift we give ourselves. Come to Santa Fe. You deserve it.

2010 SUMMER photography mentorships

introduction and skills overview

Escape from the routine and indulge your passion for photography! Capture the soul of a portrait. Discover the spirit of place. Refine your personal style. Hone your technical skills. Free your imagination. Whether your desire is to break through creative barriers or learn the basics of composition, you will be inspired by some of today’s most influential photographers and instructors — in Santa Fe and Around the World. Treat yourself to one week out of the year where you are welcomed by others who are just as passionate about photography. You deserve it. OVERVIEW OF SKILL LEVELS AND EXPERIENCE The Workshops welcomes all levels of photographers, from beginners to professionals. We want you to find the workshop tailored to your interests and skill levels, so we collaborate with our instructors to provide the details you need to make an informed decision. Each workshop description indicates who it is designed for (Who Should Attend), the technical skills participants are expected to have (What You Should Know), special details for that workshop (Special Notes), and if an image submission is required for acceptance (Portfolio).

Who Should Attend

Four photography levels help identify the appropriate workshops for you: Beginners, Amateurs, Advanced Amateurs, and Professionals. BEGINNERS have little to no experience with digital

cameras, photography, or image editing software.

AMATEURS have been photographing for a while, have a working knowledge of the basic features on their cameras, and are familiar with digital workflow and image editing software. ADVANCED AMATEURS have a working knowledge of

manual mode on their cameras, have a working knowledge of digital workflow and image editing software, and are familiar with artificial lighting, digital printing, or other techniques as required in a particular workshop.

PROFESSIONALS earn a majority of their income from

their photography, have a substantial body of work, and are proficient in all aspects of photography, as required in a particular workshop. Regardless of your photographic skills, all participants are expected to have a working knowledge of how to use a laptop computer. For more information about manual mode, Adobe Photoshop knowledge, digital SLR guidelines, and computer requirements, please see page 64 in General Information.

What You Should Know

We want to make sure that you feel confident working not only with your instructor, but also with other participants. The desire of staff, instructors, and participants alike is to maintain a consistent level of photographic proficiency in every workshop. Since each workshop has a unique set of technical skills, there are three standard phrases to indicate expected knowledge.

WORKING KNOWLEDGE: You are competent and can navigate comfortably PROFICIENCY: You have in-depth experience and are an advanced user

As an example, you might see: Working knowledge of your digital SLR camera; familiarity with digital workflow and Adobe Photoshop.

Special Notes This area indicates unique details about a particular workshop. It is typically used to communicate special technology information, such as computer workstations provided to participants for workshops held in the digital lab.

Your mentor will champion your work—guiding and supporting your dreams and aspirations as a photographer.

Fine-Tuning Black-and-White Techniques with Alan Ross Alan Ross’s one-day “crash” courses and two- to five-day custom workshops in black-and-white photography are designed for individuals or two persons enrolling together and are tailored to your needs and interests. As the only student, or working with a partner of your choosing, you have the opportunity to delve into the particular materials and techniques that interest you while working at the pace and level appropriate to your abilities and requirements. Courses range from an intense day covering film testing and the Zone System, or the techniques, tricks, and nuances of making a great print, to an extended five-day session during which you pull all the pieces together. Darkroom sessions include basic techniques as well as an introduction to selective masking. Working in Alan’s Santa Fe home and darkroom/studio, you have the chance to hone your skills in a master’s lab, so bring your favorite printing papers with you. If fieldwork beckons you, the great landscape and historic communities of northern New Mexico are at your doorstep.

Nikon introduces a new section at the NikonUSA website called Learn & Explore offering photo enthusiasts a unique mix of imaging tips and techniques, inspiration and advice. •

You’ll be able to listen in as photographers talk about their images, and you’ll be able to view the moving images and multi-media productions they are creating with their D-Movie capable Nikon digital SLRs.

JERRY COURVOISIER

Intensive: Digital Printmaking June 4– 6

This two-and-a-half-day, hands-on workshop compresses and streamlines the digital printmaking process. Jerry guides participants as they discover how to craft images to perfection with Adobe Photoshop and HP printers, developing an in-depth understanding of managing color accurately and achieving smooth, subtle transitions when creating fine-art quality prints. Using Photoshop, we learn to build an image file that preserves excellent detail by adjusting images with maximum control. The workshop covers all the bases, including the best way to convert color to black-and-white, sharpening methods that enhance detail, and simple layering and masking techniques—everything necessary to successfully navigate the HP printer and software. We experiment with different kinds of printing papers to understand how they affect image presentation and quality. We also explore image size and its effects on tone, sharpness, and the overall character and impact of a printed image.

Nik Software Intensive: Retouching Techniques

NEW

June 9 –11

June 7– 8

This two-day workshop explores Nikon Capture NX 2, one of the most useful image editing platforms available today. With this program, photographers can streamline the way they work with digital files, from selectively editing light and color, to creating a simple method for color management. Workshop participants learn to utilize the nondestructive editing of Capture NX 2 to adjust and enhance their imagery, eliminating the large files often created by the multiple steps required in traditional software. We analyze images for optimizing and retouching, set up raw adjustments to maximize image quality and details, and practice using the intuitive editing options and tools offered by Capture NX 2. Participants acquire a strong basic knowledge of this program, allowing them to process images quickly and have more time to pursue photography.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Amateurs and Advanced Amateurs WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Working knowledge of the computer, Adobe Photoshop, and digital printing SPECIAL NOTES: Computer workstations are provided in the digital lab TUITION*: $425 FEES: $135 Digital Lab

Have you ever wondered why your images do not always live up to your expectations? Although the exposure, the lighting, and the framing seemed right, somehow the image does not match what you saw and felt when you looked through the viewfinder. This workshop explores retouching techniques that bring back that “alive” feeling—the mood, the light, and all the nuances that first inspired you to capture the image. Using Adobe Photoshop and the full suite of Nik Software products, Janice demonstrates new techniques that do away with tedious selections and endless steps, thereby saving many hours in front of the computer. Topics include getting the most out of your workflow, optimizing raw images, noise reduction techniques, and global adjustments versus targeted adjustments. We also explore selective enhancements, bringing out detail, applying traditional techniques, creating blackand-white images from color capture, and developing a personal style through retouching. Janice energizes and inspires participants to see what is possible in the final steps of image enhancement.

Adventure photography can be an adventure in itself, involving breathtaking locations, extreme conditions, and working with elite athletes in risky situations. It requires a host of skills, including technical excellence with the camera, familiarity with a sport, and the ability to be mindful of your goals and your safety at all times. Designed for intermediate to experienced photographers, this workshop concentrates on creating unique images of rock climbing, kayaking, mountain biking and trail running, as well as photographing on a working ranch. Using elite athletes as our models and northern New Mexico’s incredible landscape as our backdrop, we explore innovative ways to capture the essence of each sport and location. Topics covered during the week include research and preparation, composition and camera angles, equipment selection and use, using natural light, fill flash, and batterypowered strobes, and autofocus techniques. We also learn how to work with athletes who are putting themselves at risk and how to capture the intensity of the action. Each day finds us in a new location working with expert athletes. Classroom time includes daily editing and critiquing sessions and one-on-one meetings with Michael. In addition, Michael shares his insights and experiences in the adventure marketplace, including career development, portfolios, and how to shoot for stock, editorial, and commercial clients. MICHAEL CLARK is an internationally published outdoor adventure photographer. His intense, raw images of athletes pushing their sports to the limit in remote locations around the world feature unique angles, bold colors, strong graphics, and dramatic lighting. Balancing extreme action with subtle details, striking portraits, and wild landscapes, Michael creates photographs for editorial, advertising, and stock markets worldwide.

Digital Capture of Your Mind’s Eye

NEW

June 20 –26

This workshop is for photographers who already know digital SLR basics and are ready for the next step— creating more compelling and personal images. Michael helps you master your camera, then introduces quick techniques in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom that inform your photographic vision. The goal is to become comfortable with the tools, freeing you to create the images you see in your imagination. Our mornings in the digital lab combine in-depth review of camera functions with post-processing techniques to enhance photographic style. We learn simple tools in Photoshop and Lightroom that add dramatic effects, resulting in images that go beyond what you see in the viewfinder. We critique the previous day’s work and study images that emphasize creative vision and exploration. Afternoons are spent at stunning locations around Santa Fe, where we challenge and stimulate our creativity with our newfound knowledge. One-on-one meetings with Michael help clarify each participant’s goals and identify ways to overcome barriers. The camera is only a tool. Master it, and there is no limit to what you can capture through your mind’s eye.

MICHAEL DONNOR

Location portraiture is one of the most rewarding and exciting pursuits in photography—requiring us to interact with our subject, our location, and the light and atmosphere we find or help to create. It is about photographing life while it is happening, with a little creative control thrown in! Participants in this workshop learn to understand and apply the principles of location portraiture through the creative possibilities of location, light, and most importantly, the subject. Mornings are devoted to lectures, demonstrations, and critiques. The rest of the day we practice lighting techniques in a variety of inspiring locations around Santa Fe. Our subjects include hired models, people we meet in town, and our fellow workshop participants. The focus of the week is on creating simple but expressive lighting schemes with professional strobe lights, from mono lights to more complex multi-light power pack systems. We explore the use of soft boxes, grid spots, reflectors, and colored gels, and learn how to select those best suited to a particular subject and scene. We learn to adapt existing light, both natural and artificial, to intensify the effect we want our portraits to convey. Other topics include the rigging of lights, packing and preparing for location, various cameras and equipment, and creative ways to photograph a portrait. Alan also demonstrates large-scale location shoots and discusses how to break a few photographic rules to make a stronger portrait.

This renowned workshop is designed for both amateur and professional photographers who wish to strengthen their ability to see and work in color. Through daily shooting assignments, critiques and discussions, participants acquire techniques to become more sensitive to light and its effects on color, composition, texture, pattern, and design. While covering the use and quality of natural and artificial light, the main focus is on investigating color from a personal point of view. Arthur guides and inspires participants to help refine an individual style for creative fulfillment as well as for commercial success. The workshop begins with an intensive review of each participant’s images and a discussion of personal and career goals. In addition to addressing the aesthetics of color photography, Arthur leads group critiques and spends individual time with each participant addressing their photography. Daily assignments put classroom techniques into practice and take advantage of the stunning light and color of northern New Mexico. Participants leave at the end of the week with a greater awareness of their strengths and an enhanced sensitivity to light and color. ARTHUR MEYERSON is an award winning photographer, a highly sought after workshop instructor and mentor who travels throughout the world photographing for advertising, corporate, and editorial clients. A three-time winner of Adweek’s “Southwest Photographer of the Year” award, he is on Communication World’s list of the world’s top 10 corporate photographers and was named one of the 30 best advertising photographers by American Photo. In 1999, Arthur became a member of Nikon’s exclusive “Legends Behind the Lens”.

Alternative Photographic Processes June 20–26

SAM ABELL

Contemporary Color Photography

NEW

June 20–26

With Santa Fe as its inspiring and thought-provoking backdrop, this new workshop is about taking the permanent steps to making stronger, more involving photographs. The colors of Santa Fe come alive at every turn–in the surrounding landscape, the sky, the markets, and with the colorful personalities we encounter. As we immerse ourselves in this vibrant area and culture, Sam challenges participants to see beyond the beautiful scenery to create meaningful, contemporary color images. We start the week with a critique of existing work to create tighter, truer portfolios, then explore the local region to craft new, stronger images with a distinct modern sensibility. This is primarily accomplished by daily assignments that challenge and sharpen your photographic thinking and seeing. The emphasis is to explore, with sophistication, how to make great photographs of new places. There are also dynamic daily discussions about your new work and about what goes in to making lasting images. Importantly, there are also on-on-one sessions with Sam dedicated to clarifying your career and artistic goals. The design and purpose of this week is to take your work to a new level by strengthening the way you seeing both in the field and in the editing room. Generating new, thoughtful work is our primary goal. But the workshop is also rich in conversation. It is a conversation about the world of photography and enlarging your place in it.

Investigate and experiment with an extensive menu of alternative photographic techniques in this hands-on workshop. Intended for creative people in all disciplines (especially those with a sense of humor!), Christopher helps participants jump-start their artistic energies or add to their artistic toolbox. Our goal is to inspire new directions, new options, and new energy for each participant’s unique vision and artistic development. Among the processes we explore are Cyanotype, Cyanotype murals, Kallitype, Argyrotype, salted paper, matte albumen, gum bichromate, platinum, palladium, and Ziatype, as well as process combinations and toning options. Other topics include large-format pinhole photography, simplified digital negative separations, historical and contemporary alternative survey, the Lazertran Process, and alternative cameras. For those looking for extended instruction and additional processes, consider combining this workshop with the Advanced Alternative Processes Workshop the following week (see page 25). CHRISTOPHER JAMES is an internationally known artist and photographer whose paintings and alternative process images have been exhibited in galleries and museums in the U.S. and abroad, including shows in the Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum of Art, George Eastman House, and Philadelphia Museum of Art. His book, The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes, receiving unprecedented critical acclaim, was the winner of The Golden Light Technical Book of the Year award, and has become the standard reference text in alternative process image making. The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes, Second Edition, published in 2008, is the text for the workshop. Having taught at Harvard University for many years, Christopher is now professor and chair of Photography at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. He is also a graphic designer and a professional scuba diver. This is Christopher’s seventh year teaching at the Workshops. His web site is www.christopherjames-studio.com.

Publish Your Photography Book June 20–26

This workshop is for photographers interested in understanding the ins and outs of publishing a book of their work. Beginning with the question, “What makes a great photography book?”, we examine a variety of classic and contemporary examples in order to gain a deeper understanding of editing and sequencing a body of work. Topics include an overview of the publishing industry, issues of design and typography, planning for production, and the marketing of your finished title. Print-on-demand and self-published books are discussed, with many examples shown throughout the week. The schedule includes demonstrations, guest speakers, and field trips to local publishers, photographers, and booksellers. Participants should bring a body of their own photographic work, either completed or still in progress, that they desire to see in book form. Seminar-style discussions of each participant’s work address conceptualizing, editing, sequencing, and possible book formats. Each participant has a private consultation with Darius and Mary Virginia and leaves with a checklist of priorities for publishing a photography book.

The unspoken language and emotional connections between photographer, subject, and environment are the focus of this workshop. We navigate through the intimate and, at times, intense process of creating a successful portrait with an emphasis on photographing people in their personal environments, in and around their homes or workplaces. We learn how to meet the challenges of establishing a deep connection with our subjects in a relatively short period of time. We address the different approaches required when photographing for an editorial client or a personal project. Working with a variety of equipment and locations, participants are encouraged to go beyond the technical and explore the aesthetic aspects of their subjects and surroundings. We explore a range of light sources including the use of available daylight and portable strobe, but always with emphasis on keeping it simple and personal. In addition, we discuss the use of multiple camera formats including medium and 35mm. Through group and individual assignments, image presentations, and daily critiques, participants gain confidence and develop a solid foundation for further exploration. JONATHAN TORGOVNIK’s photographs have been widely exhibited in the U.S. and Europe, and have appeared in such international publications as Newsweek, Aperture, GEO, The Sunday Times Magazine, and Stern, among many others.

Professional Photoshop Techniques: Layers, Masks, and Beyond June 27–July 3

The use of layers is the backbone of creativity within Adobe Photoshop. From simple retouching to complex realistic or artistic compositing, layers and masks are essential. Participants in this workshop use their own images to learn the professional’s approach to non-destructive imagemaking. Topics include using layers and masks to develop the best strategies for advanced retouching techniques, color correcting and color enhancing, compositing complex image combinations, blending modes, and the advantages of channels and paths. Additionally, lessons incorporate the History Palette, creating custom actions, and learning how to optimize your computer to improve Photoshop’s performance. This workshop is for those proficient in Photoshop who are looking to learn advanced skills and capabilities, while focusing on creativity. The curriculum revolves around Josh’s expert demonstrations and one on one tutoring. Each topic is explained in detail with plenty of time for individual exploration.

The powerful medium of photography allows us to manifest our personal stories. Stories told through photographs can come from a place of joy or pain, and they may be truthful or fictitious; the only essential factor is that they be intensely felt by their maker. The challenge is to avoid the universal and clichéd and to discover the unique by seeking out the specific and the personal. Using metaphor and symbolism, participants photograph across many genres—the found and the constructed, the landscape, the still life, the portrait, and the self-portrait—in order to visually articulate their narratives. We devote the magical hours of early morning and late afternoon to making images so that our stories are told in beautiful light. The rest of the day is spent as a group in the classroom, writing, brainstorming picture ideas, critiquing images from the previous day, and viewing work by other artists who have used personal experience as a vehicle. Cig meets individually with each participant to discuss how to push his/her work farther and avoid repetition. CIG HARVEY is a working fine-art photographer and educator whose images are in numerous prestigious collections worldwide. Her work and her workshops have been highlighted in PDN, Popular Photography and American Photography. She is represented by the Robin Rice Gallery in New York and Joel Soroka in Aspen. Her commercial clients include Harper’s Bazaar, Kate Spade, Bloomingdales, and The New York Times. A professor at the Art Institute of Boston, Cig has taught workshops for the past seven years.

CHRIS RAINIER

In Search of the Spirit: Its Land and People June 27–July 3

Learning how to identify the spiritual and sacred essence of a place, a person, or a culture is at the heart of this workshop. Participants explore the deserts and mountains of northern New Mexico, the traditions of the Native American culture, and the spiritual communities of Santa Fe and Taos. Our focus is on the documentary approach to photographing cultures and their environments. Daily assignments emphasize tuning in to the land and its primeval energy, as well as listening and watching for a spiritual connection to unfold during a portrait session. Chris joins participants on field trips to help them find the link between what they see and what they feel, and then to capture their emotions with their camera. We look at personal documentary projects from the philosophical to the technical, the spiritual to the pragmatic, including magazine assignments, books, and fine-art exhibitions. Chris also discusses funding, publishing, exhibitions, and careers in travel photography, and meets individually with each participant. © Cathy Maier Callanan

Photographing People June 27–July 3

Photographing people with skill and confidence, and having fun doing it, is the goal of this week with Cathy Maier Callanan. The workshop is for intermediate-level photographers who want to make stronger, more meaningful portraits, and who are hesitant about approaching people. Through daily assignments, we develop the awareness and sensitivity necessary to move beyond literal renderings to more intimate portraits. We learn effective methods for approaching strangers and putting friends and family at ease. Composition, lighting techniques, and forming a personal style are topics for discussion, investigation, and assignments. With a colorful and diverse population, Santa Fe and northern New Mexico provide stunning and creative environments to photograph and offer a wealth of portrait opportunities to test newly found skills and build confidence. Daily field sessions follow morning critiques, lectures, and visits from several successful portrait photographers. This is a spirited, insightful week of coaching, fun, challenges, and pushing beyond where you thought you could go in photographing people.

Advanced Alternative Processes June 27– July 3

This workshop offers photographers an additional week of processes, working time, dedicated working space, and materials with which to refine their skills and focus their energies on a specific project or technique. It is designed for visual artists who have attended one of Christopher’s alternative processes workshops or whose portfolios demonstrate a comfortable working knowledge of the subject. Christopher’s workshops provide a dynamic, hands-on, group experience in an energetic and supportive environment. Participants receive continual assistance and immediate feedback on works in progress, along with an open exchange of working concepts, ideas, history, and techniques. Individual process demonstrations are given on request, if there is a technique you’ve always wanted to learn, or if you need a refresher. Using Christopher’s The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes, Second Edition as the workshop text, we cover a comprehensive range of processes, including wet plate collodion, calotype, platinum, palladium, salted paper, albumen, Van Dyke, kallitype, argyrotype, cyanotype, gum bichromate & gum combination techniques, Ziatype, carbon, and hand-applied emulsions. We also have a digital negative production set-up in the facility. While most of our printing is done in the sun, UV exposure units are available for printing at night or on rainy days. Christopher’s workshops are a lot of fun; bring your sense of humor. A letter, with specific recommendations on what to bring, will be sent to all participants prior to the workshop.

Northern New Mexico: A Photographic Adventure

July 4–10

Would you like to develop or enhance a personal style, strengthen your original vision, and broaden the way you think about photography? This workshop helps serious amateur and professional photographers find more passion in their work by exploring the narrative, aesthetic, and emotional aspects of imagemaking, with an emphasis on simplicity and the use of natural light. Through practical demonstrations, field trips, individual portfolio reviews, and studying the work of both historically significant and little-known photographers, we refine our views on producing work and balancing the various aspects of a busy life. In addition to darkroom technique, digital fine art, and expressive printmaking, we discuss how to develop projects and exhibitions, and the ins and outs of the publishing world. Everyone is encouraged to bring a sense of humor and a sense of purpose; wise-asses, hotdogs, and burnouts are welcome! © Craig Stevens

Perfecting the Fine-Art Digital Print July 4–10

Photography has changed dramatically in the past 15 years, especially in the area of printmaking. Today’s digital cameras instantly capture ranges of light that a Zone System user would have labored to achieve. High Dynamic Range (HDR) imagery rivals the primacy of our own eyesight, and digital printers produce technically precise archival prints in both color and black and white. What used to require blood, sweat, and tears, is now easily achieved. The magic now comes from your personal vision. If we know how we want an image to feel, we are on the path to crafting a print that mirrors that intent. In this workshop, we explore the subtleties that transform a print from a mere statement to a poetic expression of the photographer’s emotional intent. We begin with light—practicing techniques for modulating the range of light in terms of densities of light and dark, local and overall contrast, color, and tone. With Silver Efex Pro by Nik Software we learn how to further enhance black-and-white prints. In daily printing sessions, we output images on a variety of papers to explore the different possibilities for the look and feel of our print. We investigate the role of scale using large-format HP printers, and experiment with inkAID products to create custom alternative substrates. We also visit several top photo galleries to examine the work of exceptional contemporary printmakers. Along with a collection of their own images, participants should arrive with a sense of humor and desire to move beyond the commonplace.

KEITH CARTER is one of the leading fine-art/editorial photographers working today. His expressive images have been published in 10 books, including A Certain Alchemy. An internationally respected educator and workshop leader, Keith holds the endowed Walles Chair of Art at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, where he received the highest honor given to faculty: the University Professor Award.

The Emotional Moment

NEW

July 4–10

Delve into a more intuitive realm of portraiture that goes beyond mere technical expertise to capture the emotional spirit of our subjects. On location and in the classroom, Jock demonstrates ways to approach and illuminate the human portrait that incorporate not only the character, but the emotional moment. We start the week by exploring the concepts of human relationships, risk-taking, and creativity. Under Jock’s guidance we discuss ideas of humanity, connecting with one another, and getting inside the “cultural bubble.” We examine self-trust and how our fears affect the creative process. We learn about the emotion of light, the difference between seeing and looking, intuitive composition, and making intentional mistakes. Jock also introduces the “quick sketch” technique which enables us to shape the creative intent while being open to capturing the moment. Throughout the week, we take advantage of the remarkable natural light and colorful surroundings of Santa Fe as our backdrop for making portraits. Participants who have a willingness to share and be open benefit from group discussions, critiques, and individual time with Jock— all resulting in taking their portraiture to a new level. Finding the emotional moment within the decisive moment is what this workshop is all about.

For more than a hundred years, the landscapes and cultures of New Mexico have inspired photographers and painters such as Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, Laura Gilpin, Paul Strand, Georgia O’Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, and Peter Hurd. This field-oriented workshop is about creating photographs that challenge the viewer’s imagination and convey the beauty, drama, and feeling of the Land of Enchantment. Tony guides participants through some of his favorite photographic treasures, from the incredible skies and red rock formations of O’Keeffe’s Ghost Ranch to the vast ranchlands, wildlife, and historic structures of Mora County. Tony shares an in-depth knowledge of the land and its diverse peoples acquired during his 17 years as a professional photographer in New Mexico, and previously as the National Park Service’s chief ranger for the Southwest United States. This is a week to explore your creativity, expand your visual skills, and to enhance your understanding of the photographic process from capture to output. Lengthy days in the field photographing the scenic beauty of northern New Mexico provide invigorating experiences that are reflected in your images and work. Classroom sessions include discussions of composition, light, and color, and reviews of participants’ images. The use of Adobe Lightroom for digital workflow aids in achieving your personal style. TONY BONANNO is an internationally renowned photographer who has worked extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe, the Caribbean, Central America, Mexico, Africa, and Australia. His diverse subjects have ranged from the President and First Lady of the U.S. to indigenous peoples and their cultures, to capturing the beauty and rhythms of running horses in his acclaimed “Hooves & Dust” series.

Basics of Digital Photography

JENNIFER DAVIDSON

Beginning Photography Using Digital Cameras July 4–10

P, Tv, M, Av, ISO …perhaps you’ve seen these symbols on your camera but don’t know what they mean or how to use them. A common response is simply to put the camera on Auto, but too often the resulting photograph is not what you had envisioned. At times it seems the camera is in control of you, rather than the other way around. This workshop is designed to clear up confusion and open the door to mastering the technical features of your camera and exploring the creative aspects of photography. We begin the week by tackling all those buttons and menus, learning what settings mean, which ones are frequently used, and which only need to be set once. We discuss the elements of manual exposure, including depth of field, shutter speed, focus, and ISO. As we gain control of these principles, we explore creative ways to use them. Other topics include composition, white balance, use of natural light, and lens choice. Mornings are devoted to lectures and critiques. In the afternoons we practice our new camera skills exploring Santa Fe, with Jennifer on hand to provide one-on-one guidance. At the end of an exciting and inspiring week, participants are in control of their cameras and have produced images that illustrate increased confidence and creative vision.

July 11–17

Elizabeth Opalenik has never forgotten the exciting moment, some 30 years ago, when she realized that she could convey her feelings and thoughts through her photographs. This workshop is about searching for that excitement and those images that move and sustain us. We learn to make photographs that express our ideas through various exercises designed to heighten awareness. From portraits to landscapes, images are stepping-stones that trace where the mind has been and they form the unique vision each of us carries through life. Our week includes daily assignments working with models and fellow participants. We also discuss such topics as print presentation, organizing a portfolio, digital infrared, and intimate handmade books. Good images don’t just happen. Most often, our best work lies just beyond our greatest failures. In the supportive environment of this workshop, we learn to use those failures to forge new ideas and new paths. Risk-taking is encouraged as we apply newly acquired skills and share our collective knowledge to take that next step in a supportive environment.

Take that joyous first step into your future as a digital photographer. Designed to help you break through technical barriers and launch you into a new realm of creating great photographs, this workshop covers the technical side of resolution, downloading and re-sizing images, file management and archiving, and output/printing sources. Under Rick’s guidance, participants explore shutter speeds, apertures, and shooting modes. By the week’s end, everyone will be using the camera in manual mode with ease. Rick shares tips and techniques about composition, lighting, lenses, and creativity that help participants see the world with new eyes and capture images with impact. He creates an atmosphere in which learning the technical processes of digital photography is fun, and playful expression is encouraged. Field trips around beautiful Santa Fe and daily assignments encourage the deepening of your digital photography skills. © Tony Corbell

July 11–17

Light is the single most important ingredient in creating photographs with impact. Exciting applications of light make it possible to transform the mundane into the magnificent. This workshop is designed for photographers seeking a broad understanding of artificial lighting techniques in order to achieve greater control over their images. Light can be elusive. Often it’s too harsh or too soft. It may be non-directional or too directional; too warm or too cool; it can even be too dark or too bright. Tony presents a solid technical foundation for portrait lighting that enables participants to surmount these common lighting challenges. His hands-on teaching style offers a thorough understanding of light quality, light-shaping tools, and metering in any working situation. Through demonstrations, daily assignments, and critiques, we explore studio lighting in depth, covering such areas as light quality, light quantity, light direction, and working with models and props. Going outdoors, we learn to apply these techniques by controlling the natural environment and lighting. Tony guides participants with a high-energy, fun-filled approach to the technical side of photography while keeping a close watch on the creative side as well. By the end of the week, participants are able to create well-lit, stand-out images with confidence and predictability.

BOB SACHA

Visual Storytelling with Audio July 11–17

Storytelling is changing, thanks to the digital revolution. Great photographs alone are no longer enough; the new media-rich world of the Internet demands stories that take advantage of the power of the web. One of the simplest, quickest, and most powerful ways to make stories more compelling is to add audio. Ambient sounds and interviews are the perfect complement to documentary storytelling and photographic essays. Combined artfully, pictures and sound together are many times more powerful than either is alone. This workshop is for photographers who want to combine still images and sound for the web, DVD, or TV. We explore a new kind of storytelling by learning how to add music, voices, interviews, narration, and ambient sounds to our images. We start by studying and discussing examples of successful stories that use great images and strong audio. We investigate audio equipment, recording techniques, and editing and publishing programs. We practice interviewing, recording ambient sounds, and doing narration. Field trips provide opportunities to put this all into practice. Back in class, we edit our images and sounds together to create powerful multi-media stories, from simple slide shows with music to stories with audio tracks and interviews. Finally, we learn to quickly and easily upload polished projects online.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Advanced Amateurs and Professionals WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Proficient in digital workflow and custom functions on your digital SLR camera; working knowledge of Adobe Lightroom (or similar software) Please see page 63 for your portfolio submission TUITION*: $1,195 FEES: $50 Location

KAREN KUEHN

Mastering the Portrait July 11–17

Put your fingerprint on your portraits! Designed for accomplished photographers who want to extract more from both their subjects and themselves, Karen challenges participants to break out of the routine, push the boundaries, and find new ways of seeing that utilize all the senses. Throughout the week, we discuss ways to evoke mood through human emotion, lighting options, and staying open to all the unexpected possibilities. Karen guides participants through ways to approach a subject and the process of “reading” people in order to capture their essence. An exploration of the senses allows us to find deeper ways of communicating that result in a more soulful image. Participants practice how to formulate ideas prior to photographing, as well as learning when to abandon the best laid plans when a more inspired approach suddenly presents itself. When mastering the portrait you should expect the unexpected! If you are an intuitive thinker who has a penchant for following a more creative approach to portraiture, and are looking to step out of your comfort zone, then Karen will lead the way for you to amplify the evocative. KAREN KUEHN has been a professional photographer for the past 24 years. Her work has appeared in national publications such as TIME, Newsweek, Garage, Reader’s Digest, More, People, and The New York Times. Her corporate clients include MasterCard, Northwest Airlines, Toyota, and Campbell’s. Karen’s portrait work, which ranges from celebrities to the homeless, conveys her natural way of seeing the story within the frame. Based in New York for 16 years, Karen now lives in rural New Mexico while continuing to travel the world on assignment. In her spare time, she works on her black-and-white fine-art work for exhibition. This is Karen’s seventh year teaching for the Workshops. Her web site is www.karenkuehn.com.

The Book Journey

Romancing the West

We are fortunate to live at a time when the tools to make a beautiful, personal book are well-honed and literally at our fingertips. Print-ondemand books have emerged as a practical way for every photographer to celebrate a body of work, a personal experience, or a creative idea. Open to anyone with a book concept and an edited set of images (and text if desired), this workshop takes participants from the initial idea to the finished book. Under Eddie’s guidance, we go through each step in the process: clarifying the idea, editing images and any text, learning the digital workflow to maintain the beauty of our images, designing a layout, and uploading the finished book. Throughout the week, we analyze examples of beautiful books for inspiration as we acquire the tools to bring book making into our repertoire. EDDIE SOLOWAY’s photographs are the expression of his passion and commitment to the natural world. His eye has developed during a lifetime of exploring the earth’s wild places. Former positions in educational workshop design, wilderness program development, and custom fine photographic printing have further honed his expertise. In 1998, Eddie was the first recipient of the Excellence in Photographic Teaching Award presented by the Santa Fe Center for Photography. Today he divides his time between making fine-art prints, teaching, speaking on creativity and the photographic life, and furthering photographic publishing projects. He is the author of the book, One Thousand Moons, and the instructional DVD, A Natural Eye – Big Sur. An impassioned teacher, Eddie brings experiences in both nature and photography to his workshops. This is Eddie’s 16th year teaching at the Workshops. His web site is www.eddiesoloway.com.

Great images are not produced by accident; they require thoughtfulness, openness, passion, awareness, and even a sense of humor. For many photographers, the goal is simple. We want to continue to explore, strive to improve, and learn how to go beyond the obvious. This workshop examines numerous ways of achieving this goal, inspiring us to move “beyond the snapshot” regardless of the subjects we choose to photograph. Daniel begins by discussing a wide range of images, from portraits to documentary, and inviting participants to think about and articulate their goals and direction. Each participant chooses a topic to focus on for the entire week, returning each day to the same topic in order to produce an in-depth visual study. The week includes group critiques of images made both during and before the workshop, and individual meetings for each participant with Daniel. The primary intention of this workshop is to help participants improve on and enjoy one of life’s great pleasures: exploring the world with a camera and producing a many-layered body of work.

Enjoy a week in beautiful Santa Fe exploring a genre that is both challenging and rewarding: photographing pets on location. Norah focuses on the commissioned pet portrait and on developing the skills needed to creatively capture the essence of pets and their owners. Sharing the tricks of her trade, she emphasizes forging a playful connection between photographer and subject, using props, studying the details, and addressing techniques for problem solving on location. We learn to apply the many tools specific to working with a variety of animals, including domestic pets and horses. Participants work individually and collaboratively on daily assignments, followed by group critiques and discussions of lighting, composition, and style. Classroom time also touches on creative approaches and troubleshooting technical issues. Assignments include photographing horses on a local ranch, interacting with people and pets in their environments, and creating imagery at a non-profit animal organization. By the end of the week, participants acquire a unique set of people and pet skills and are able to translate those skills into compelling and sellable imagery.

We visit a 100-acre ranch on the banks of the Rio Grande, where we photograph the beautiful, smooth-gaited Peruvian Paso horses. We focus on equine portraiture while the horses graze or go through their training paces. Our itinerary also includes capturing the vibrant costumes, energy, and movement of traditional Native American dances. Back in the classroom, Bobbie demonstrates her acclaimed postproduction techniques and style. Under her guidance, participants enjoy a hands-on opportunity to produce their own work of creative photography. Classroom sessions include discussions of composition, light, and color, and reviews of participants’ images. The use of Adobe Lightroom aids in perfecting your personal digital workflow, while NIK software enhances your creative style. This is a week to explore your creativity, expand your visual skills, and enhance your understanding of the photographic process from capture to output. Join Bobbie for an invigorating week photographing the drama of the West. BOBBIE GOODRICH has gained worldwide attention as a fine-art photographer with her unique and stunning imagery.

FRANK W. OCKENFELS 3

Looking Beyond the Obvious July 18 –24

Designed for those who are passionate about light and the art of portraiture, this workshop takes advantage of the radiant light and people of Santa Fe, to challenge participants to let go of what is comfortable and easy, and move on to the next level. We discuss creative vision —where it comes from and where to find it when it seems to disappear. Light — what it is, where to find it, and how to create it — is our second major theme. Finally, the art of portraiture creates the focus that holds it all together. Frank meets individually with participants at the beginning of the week to discuss their work and what he feels may be keeping them from growing. Daily visual explorations on location offer practice in working with existing light and making light collaborate with the subject to create the moment. Frank inspires participants to achieve moments of purity without being overly conceptualized or retouched and suggests new ways of approaching the subjects they have chosen. FRANK W. OCKENFELS 3 has spent nearly two decades photographing musicians, celebrities, corporate heads, and maybe even your next-door neighbor. His images have graced the covers of Rolling Stone, Esquire, Premiere, Blender, Newsweek, Wired, Entertainment Weekly, Spin, New York Magazine, and Gear and have also appeared in W, Outside, and UK Condé Nast Traveler. Frank has worked with most of the major record labels and has done over 200 album covers and press shoots for musicians such as David Bowie, Willie Nelson, Melissa Etheridge, Joshua Redman, The Wallflowers, Don Henley, Indigo Girls, and Billy Joel. In addition to TV campaigns for all the major networks, he has photographed movie posters for Miramax, Paramount, Focus Features, and Warner Brothers. This is Frank’s fifth year teaching at the Workshops. His web site is www.fwo3.com.

Expressive Photography for Young Photographers

The Fashion Portrait

NEW

July 18 –24

NORMAN MAUSKOPF

Getting Close July 18 –24

The vast majority of portraits produced by the great photographers of the past and the best photographers working today were taken with lenses of normal and moderately wide-angle focal lengths. Properly used, these focal lengths convey the feeling of being close, putting the viewer “in the scene.” This requires the photographer to engage the subject at close range, usually within five to ten feet. Often the photographer must assess the photographic potential in a fluid, fast-changing scene and synthesize the action and environment. In other situations, an environmental portrait can be taken in a more relaxed, less active situation; in still others, the photographer gets to know his subject over a period of time and is able to work unobtrusively while the subject goes about his or her daily routine. This is a workshop for photographers seeking to develop or improve their ability to create photographs with a sense of immediacy, and to hone their skills in photographing people intuitively and with confidence. We explore such topics as knowing when and how to approach people; whether to direct them, and how; anticipating action; composing quickly and controlling multiple pictorial elements in both indoor and outdoor settings. Emphasis is on photographing a variety of people, including an afternoon on location with models. Daily classroom critiques are supplemented by one-on-one instructor/participant sessions and image presentations.

Say you’re a young photographer who has already experienced the magic of dropping a blank sheet of paper into a tray of developer and transforming it into an image. Now you’re ready to push the boundaries of both your captures and your prints. This is not merely a workshop for teens wishing to advance their darkroom skills; it’s about finding a creative voice and exploring new techniques to express it. Our week is divided equally between film capture and the darkroom. We photograph with traditional 35mm cameras and the plastic-lens cameras known as Holgas. Daily assignments encourage participants to expand their ability to see and respond to their world. In the darkroom we begin by advancing our basic printing techniques. We go on to experiment with solarization, sandwiching negatives, and Ziatypes, an alternative process involving the creation of a digital negative. All of these techniques support the focus of the week: finding new ways of expressing our creativity. Each day includes critiques, demonstrations, and photographing in and around Santa Fe. Evenings provide a mixture of local cuisine, inspirational presentations by leading photographers, and darkroom sessions guided by Jennifer and the Workshops staff. Within this supportive environment, participants enjoy a fun-filled week making new friends and advancing their creative abilities from capture to print. For an extended photo camp experience, consider starting with the Black-and-White Photography for Young Photographers workshop the previous week (see page 33). JENNIFER SPELMAN is a freelance editorial and documentary photographer living in Santa Fe. From 2006-2008 she was an assistant at the Workshops, working with some of today’s preeminent photographers, including Jay Maisel, David Alan Harvey, and Antonin Kratochvil. Her images have appeared in Food & Wine, Local Flavor, Rangefinder, The Sun, and B&W Magazine. Additionally, Jennifer is a co-instructor with National Geographic Expeditions. This is her second year teaching at the Workshops. Jennifer’s web site is www.jenniferspelman.com.

SEÁN DUGGAN

The Creative Eye: Photography and Digital Darkroom Essentials July 25–31

Join Seán Duggan for an inspiring week that combines digital photography with presentation, artistic discovery, and the exploration of creative ways to improve photographs in the digital darkroom. Participants learn and practice essential techniques for enhancing the straight photographic image as well as using it as a point of departure for personal images that are interpretive rather than literal. With our cameras and with both Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, we search for the extraordinary in the ordinary. Location assignments focus on essentials such as composition, understanding how existing light affects the image, mastering the camera’s light meter, exposing two or more shots to extend dynamic range, and other methods for technical and creative control in the camera. In the digital lab, Seán shares his Photoshop and Lightroom techniques for transformations that include getting the most from Raw files, color and tonal manipulations, black-and-white conversions, toning, color tinting, masking techniques, creative layering, using texture and digital “lighting,” and making fine inkjet prints.

A great fashion photograph, like any other portrait, is most successful when photographer and subject truly connect, creating an energy and experience that goes beyond the technical. In our imageconscious era, photographers must be knowledgeable about fashion, hair, makeup, and lighting, and aware of how the choice of location or studio will define their work. Photographers also need to create a great rapport with subjects and clients alike. Whether you are photographing a fashion editorial for a magazine, testing models for your portfolio, or shooting images of your kids, your knowledge of style and your communication skills deepen your work. In this workshop, we review the masters of fashion and portraiture and discuss how their work can inspire our own imagery. Andrew discusses, with demonstrations, his extensive background in and knowledge of fashion portraiture and lighting techniques. In daily photography sessions with models, both on location and in the studio, participants explore the use of various light sources, including strobe, kino-flo, tungsten, and daylight. Working under Andrew’s guidance, this hands-on experience enables participants to expand their relationship to fashion photography and enrich their experience as photographers. ANDREW SOUTHAM is an Australian photographer and director now living in Los Angeles. He began his career 25 years ago, photographing the Australian National Ballet and the Sydney Theatre Company. Andrew’s portraits have appeared in the American and British editions of Vogue, Esquire, Rolling Stone, US, French Elle, and GQ. His work has been exhibited in the Australian Portrait Gallery and garnered awards from The American Society of Publication Designers and Photo District News.

A Natural Eye: The Summer Landscape July 25–31

RAUL TOUZON

Sharpen Your Photographic Skills July 25–31

A great next step after basic photography is learning how to use color, light, and composition to create outstanding images. We begin each day by editing and critiquing each other’s photographs. Highly visual lectures and demonstrations cover digital camera settings and accurate metering and exposure, in addition to the rules of composition. Artistic use of light with special emphasis on creative flash techniques is also a significant element of this workshop. An important focus of the week is applying the key tools of image software for the development of an efficient digital workflow, including how to edit, catalog, adjust levels, sharpen, and clean images. We then learn how to present our work with lessons on sequencing, story development and bookmaking. Afternoons are spent on field trips in and around Santa Fe, Taos, including Tent Rocks National Monument, photographing assignments based on topics discussed during morning sessions. The inspiring light, architecture, people, and colors of New Mexico offer ample opportunities for practicing newly acquired skills. Raul and the workshop’s course coordinator accompany the group to provide hands-on support and advice.

At the heart of any good photograph is both the passion for the subject and the ability to uniquely capture it. If you love photographing the outdoors yet find that your images still look like pretty postcards, join Eddie Soloway for an intense week of viewing the natural world with fresh new eyes. This workshop develops your natural eye first, then improves your technical skills to match your vision. You will spend as much time changing your perspective, sharpening your senses, and immersing yourself in nature, as you will on developing new photographic skills. Northern New Mexico comes alive in summer. The high aspen forests are dotted with wildflowers, mountain streams are flowing, and the canyons display a wild palette of purples and greens, oranges and chalky whites. The end-of-day light has been a magnet for photographers, painters, and writers for centuries. During the week, outdoor experiences in diverse natural areas take you through key steps to enriching your photographs of the natural world as you find yourself focused less on objects and things, and more on the magic of moments and the essence of places. You stop chasing the light and learn to enjoy the fine art of wandering. We visit the same place in different light and different weather, getting to know it, and hence seeing it anew. As you hear more and touch more, you will photograph with more sensitivity. You are rewarded by the skills of patience, solitude, and emptying. This workshop weaves together eye-opening outdoor experiences, technical lessons, daily critiques, and Eddie’s one-on-one meetings with each participant. EDDIE SOLOWAY’s biography is on page 36.

Wet-Plate Collodion: Back To The Future July 25–31

Take a trip back in time to the ethereal world of wet-plate collodion. Thanks to the unique beauty of the images it produces, this 19th-century technique is experiencing a passionate resurgence. Jill and France provide photographers and artists the opportunity to explore one of the very first photographic processes, with two experienced artist-educators as your guides. Making primary images from scratch, wet-plate collodion offers nearly limitless possibilities, from one-of-a-kind positives on metal, glass and numerous other supports, to making negatives for any type of print imaginable. Our week begins with studying and discussing examples of 19th-century and contemporary ambrotypes, tintypes, and negatives, and the types of prints participants create during this workshop. Jill and France demonstrate how to use enlargers to make positives and photograms, and we learn how to make and use a portable darkroom in any situation—from an empty box to a car trunk. We then head off into the field with a variety of 19th-century and contemporary cameras, to make images in the beautiful surroundings of Santa Fe. Jill guides participants step-by-step through the process to make wet-plate positives such as ambrotypes and tintypes, while France focuses on the making of wet-plate negatives we then scan for digital printing. In addition to creating your own unique plates during the week, you also gain a thorough knowledge of the collodion process and a clear understanding of how to incorporate this time-honored process in your own photography and art. JILL ENFIELD uses historical techniques to enhance the textural and painterly effects of photography, creating images that feel simultaneously real and dreamlike. She has taught hand-coloring and non-silver techniques at schools and workshops throughout the U.S. and Europe. A recent project, funded by a New School Faculty Development Grant, involved photographing new U.S. immigrants using the wet-plate collodion process.

JENNIFER SPELMAN’s biography is on page 40.

The market for stock photography is in the midst of a revolution and new opportunities are available to those who are able to navigate through the complexities. This workshop is designed to help experienced stock photographers identify those opportunities. We review what kind of imagery sells, how to shoot it, and how to sell it in today’s ever-changing marketplace. Personal vision, creative risk-taking, and a conceptual approach to producing imagery are stressed. The week begins with individual portfolio reviews, followed by a series of lectures, demonstrations, and assignments in which participants practice applying their personal vision while photographing subject matter that appeals to an international market. Topics include the common traits of best-selling stock photos, anticipating market trends, selecting the right distribution channels, and maximizing the photographer-distributor relationship. Royalty free, rights managed, and microstock licensing models are covered in depth. Throughout the week, we review and analyze case studies of successful stock photographers and how they grew their businesses. With Patrick’s expertise and guidance, this workshop provides the necessary tools to build and sustain a career in stock photography.

Today’s digital SLR cameras offer endless creative opportunities— but only if you know how to use them. Whether you recently acquired your first digital camera or have owned one for a few years, this workshop empowers you to take control of its features and advance your skills. Designed like a hands-on user manual, you’ll acquire the knowledge essential to explore all the capabilities of the digital SLR. Jennifer patiently guides participants through the variables of aperture, shutter speed, and the various settings and shooting modes. We learn how to incorporate these tools with different lenses, and explore techniques of composition and lighting in order to create more interesting and powerful images. Mornings are devoted to lectures, discussions, and critiques of the previous day’s work, while afternoons are spent practicing newly acquired skills in the picturesque environs of Santa Fe. This promises to be an exciting week of mastering the basics of digital photography and cultivating our creativity in an energetic and supportive atmosphere. By week’s end, participants have acquired a solid understanding of manual mode on their camera, and return home with a collection of images that reflect their new expertise.

Revitalize your photography while exploring your relationship to your subject, your camera, and yourself. Through daily field trips and exercises, participants in this workshop learn to deepen their visual awareness while simplifying and clarifying their approach. We expand the boundaries of our vision by discovering the unique in the commonplace and the creative potential in ordinary life. “Zen and the Art of Photography” provides a rare opportunity to rethink our expectations of what it means to see. Starting with the notion that a photograph is not “taken” but made, we learn to create powerful images through finding our own voice while remaining open to the possibilities of the present moment. We become better photographers by staying in touch with our inner selves and by using that awareness to better connect with our subject, whether it’s a person, place, or thing. Inspiration will be sparked by a balance of conversation, meditation, readings, poetry, and any other means necessary. Much of our time is spent in the field on daily photo adventures with Doug. Sitespecific exercises and assignments are concerned with both internal and external experience and growth. We pay attention to the most effective use of natural light as well exposure issues, but the ‘inner’ process of image making will be the main emphasis.

August 1–7

The ability to create dynamic portraits requires knowing how to avoid clichés and discovering new ways of seeing that spring from the imagination. Designed for accomplished photographers who are ready for the challenge of overcoming the limited nature of traditional portraiture, the focus of this workshop is creating your own style of portraiture through nontraditional uses of lighting and environment. We discuss issues such as instinct, self-confidence, and trust in the creative process, as well as methods for collaborating with clients and subjects, handling difficult personalities, and working effectively under pressure. Through lectures, critiques, demonstrations, assignments, portfolio reviews, and study of their own work, Paul and Leasha inspire the class to forgo traditional rules to define a more contemporary approach to making portraits. We also discuss all aspects of organization, production, and the business of photography, including the specifics of career management and self-promotion. The aesthetic and emotional concerns of contemporary portrait making are at the core of all discussions and daily assignments in the studio and on location in the Santa Fe area. This is a week about possibilities, control, and style. PAUL ELLEDGE is a photographer and filmmaker whose clients include major advertising agencies, record companies, and corporations. He has been honored with numerous national and international awards for work that melds photographic realism with painterly qualities of illustration. Paul has photographed such celebrities as AC/DC, Billy Corgan, Jennifer Hudson, Ministry, Willie Nelson, Trent Reznor, Luciano Pavarotti, and Oprah Winfrey. His work has appeared in such publications as Audubon, Fast Company, Life, Men’s Health, People, Rolling Stone, TIME, and Wired, among others. Paul’s book Luna, Bella Luna chronicles the people of Vesale, Italy, and he has collaborated on several books with chef Charlie Trotter. In addition to photography, he has directed music videos and television commercials. This is Paul’s 12th year teaching for the Workshops. His web site is www.paulelledge.com.

DOUGLAS BEASLEY explores the spiritual aspects of people and place and is concerned with how the sacred is recognized and expressed in everyday life. He hopes that his photographs act as prayer-like offerings meant as a departure point for the viewer’s own visual or spiritual journey. Much of his personal work, including “Sacred Sites of the Lakota,” “Disappearing Green Space,” “Sacred Places, Earth Meets Spirit” are supported by grants and commissions and have been widely exhibited and collected. His work has been featured in numerous magazines and published and exhibited internationally. This is Doug’s eighth year teaching at the Workshops. His web site is www.douglasbeasley.com.

It speaks many languages and presents many views. Novice photographers and professionals alike sometimes take for granted what light is about and forget its subtleties. The highest function of the photographer is to translate these elements of light and allow viewers to see things they have not seen before. This workshop is about taking the time to slow down, look at the light, and think about what it is we want to say through our photographs. Whether our focus is on portraits, still lifes, or landscapes, we learn to adopt an open mind and a willingness to explore and experiment with light. We take the ordinary and allow ourselves to capture the extraordinary by reacting, interpreting, and expressing ourselves with the camera. Daily assignments in and around Santa Fe encourage participants to venture beyond their normal comfort zone. The workshop schedule includes time alone contemplating light and working with it, as well as time spent together discussing our work and what it is we see. Taking risks and breaking boundaries is a core element of our week together. Discussions, daily image reviews, and assignments fill the days as we see, frame, and translate light into photographs.

The Nikon Digital SLR Camera

Santa Fe is an enchanting place, famous for the diversity of its culture, the creative energy of its population, and the splendor of its landscape. This workshop is for photographers eager to explore their vision in location portraits and the natural world, as they experiment with a variety of styles. Making use of creative camera techniques and essential design elements, we discover how to produce compelling images that truly capture the heart and soul of our subject, whether it is a person, place, or thing. Topics include understanding and manipulating available light, using portable flash for professional results, adjusting for color temperature, and creating a mood. We also discuss composition and design, the relative merits of color and black and white, developing concepts, and approaching people with an understanding of human psychology. We learn to be more aware of what the environment has to offer visually, from the smallest detail to the entire scene. By the end of the week, participants have strengthened both their technical craft and their ability to pre-visualize concepts, resulting in stronger and more meaningful images.

Traveling Light: Location Lighting with Small Flash

NEW

August 1–7

Light is the language of photography; it is how we write the stories of our subjects. Understanding how to light well, especially on location, is an important skill for any photographer. The advent of small, battery operated, sophisticated hot shoe flashes enables us to respond to the pressures, surprises, and twists of location work in fluid, intuitive, and sophisticated ways. We spend the week talking the language of light, both in the classroom and on location. We investigate natural light, learning to recognize when a scene should be left alone, when artificial light should be filtered in, and how to do it seamlessly. We explore techniques for taking control of a scene, re-creating the feel of natural light with flash. Improving with light is key, and we practice with flash, reflectors, softboxes, diffusers, fill boards, and found objects. This workshop is not about buttons and dials. It is about speaking with light, and crafting light that is appropriate to our subjects. At the end of the week, regardless of camera system, participants are adept in the use of small flash.

JOE McNALLY

This introduction to the exciting world of Nikon digital SLR photography demystifies the digital realm and teaches participants how to get the most out of their camera. We begin by covering key concepts and learning the technical elements of the camera so that we can get to the heart of the matter: how to make great photographs. The digital workflow is explained, demonstrated, and practiced. We learn how to download images from the camera to the computer, how to crop, resize, and manipulate images in image software, and how to prepare images for printing or emailing. Most importantly, we learn how to save, organize, and archive our images for future use. We explore the influence that we, as photographers, have on the digital workflow and ways of getting the most out of hardware and software. We review how to achieve optimal images with the versatile Nikon NEF (raw) format and the use of various lenses and accessories, such as Nikon speedlights. All of these elements combine to make picture taking easier and more productive.

Intensive: Panoramic Photography and HDR

Beginning Digital Photography and Adobe Photoshop Elements

August 13–15

August 23–27

When we look at a scene, the image formed in the mind’s eye is both taller and wider than the camera can capture in a single frame. By extending the range of the scene viewed, we can produce a more expansive and breathtaking image, creating a sense of place that transcends the single frame. In this workshop, we explore the technique of panoramic photography by recording scenes with overlapping segments which are then seamlessly stitched together into a panoramic image with Adobe Photoshop. Furthermore, by incorporating High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography and image processing, we can extend the values reproduced within the scene to better reflect the image in our final print. Participants in this two-and-a-half day workshop explore the composition and visual characteristics of panoramic imaging. Topics include the fundamentals for panoramic exposure, overlapping percentages, distance focusing methods, tripod selection and placement, image composition, and lens choices. We take advantage of visually inspiring locations in and around Santa Fe to create stunning panoramas. Back at the digital lab, using the Photomerge feature in Photoshop, we explore the range of choices relating to image processing, auto alignment, and auto-blending features — all essential elements of image compositing. JERRY COURVOISIER’s biography is on page 12.

Digital Imaging Essentials: Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom August 16–20

Lightroom and Photoshop—the complete package has arrived! Now what do you do with it? In this workshop with Jerry Courvoisier, we cut to the chase and learn how these two applications function together to remarkably improve efficiency in the digital photography workflow by automating routine tasks. We explore the possibilities, limitations, essential shortcuts, and straightforward techniques for getting the most out of the digital photography process. We sort out the application tools and bring into play only the essential methods and techniques that take images to the next level. We learn to edit, catalog, enhance, automate routine tasks, and create output presentations across multiple media, including print, web, and digital projections. This workshop is designed for beginning digital photographers and serious amateurs who need to streamline the process of integrating all of the above into their work.

Designed for photographers new to digital photography, participants learn to take control of their digital imaging and have their work stand out. We start by learning to understand our digital cameras, ensuring that proper settings allow seamless transfer of images from camera to computer. Cotton guides participants on photographic assignments, taking advantage of the amazing light of late summer. Back in the digital lab, we will critique photos taken on location, practice techniques for downloading, importing, organizing, editing, processing, and printing images using Photoshop Elements. In addition to basic image adjustments, we work with selections, layers, color enhancement, and retouching tools. We explore raw and JPEG formats, use the Text tool, create panoramas, and learn how to prepare our images for the web and email. At the end of the week, participants leave with a working knowledge of Photoshop Elements, and the confidence to enhance their images with skill and ease. COTTON MILLER received a BFA in digital and photographic imaging from Texas State University, winning awards from the Society of Professional Journalists and the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association for sports photography. He joined the Workshops in 2008 as an assistant in the digital lab. His personal work combines traditional, digital, alternative processes, and mixed media.

San Miguel de Allende: Day of the Dead October 29–November 4

EXCLUSIVE TO SANTA FE PHOTOGR APHIC WORKSHOPS

Day of the Dead in Mexico is a uniquely beautiful and joyful threeday festival—a time when families come together, prepare special foods, and create colorful altars in celebration of loved ones who have died. Our week begins with photographing the various preparations for Day of the Dead and Halloween in San Miguel de Allende. In the classroom, we review the use of our cameras in manual mode, practice techniques for approaching and photographing people, and review how to employ flash unobtrusively. To deepen our understanding of what we are witnessing, a cultural expert joins us to discuss the significance of Day of the Dead, and we make our own class altar to honor loved ones. On the afternoon of Day of the Dead, we photograph the festivities in San Miguel’s main cemetery, where families gather with food and drink, decorate gravesites with marigolds, play music, and dance. In the evening, we visit some of the private homes with altars that are open for public viewing. Additional topics include digital camera settings, composition, low light situations, and metering. Each day also includes an edit-and-critique session of the photographs taken the previous day. SARAH MEGHAN LEE began her photography career as an assistant photo editor for USA Today in Washington, D.C. She was also a volunteer teacher for Shooting Back, a program that taught inner-city youth to document life in their neighborhoods.

Ladakh: The Last True Remaining Tibet

NEW

July 11–26

Situated in the rain shadow of the Indian Himalaya, Ladakh occupies the westernmost edge of the Tibetan Plateau. Millenia-old traditions of Tibetan Buddhism have thrived here without the interruption or repression found in Tibet itself. In Ladakh, Buddhist culture is alive and well— vibrantly displayed through the dozens of spectacular monasteries, frequent festivals, and the warmhearted, open nature of the Ladakhi people. On our Ladakh adventure we traverse an amazing range of landscapes, from the wind-swept desert and sand dunes, to brilliantly colored rock formations, lush valleys, and immense sapphire-colored lakes. These awe-inspiring vistas are dotted with traditional villages and ancient monasteries, which we explore both by road and on foot. David guides participants in developing a more distinctive, personal style of imagery that transcends the boundaries of mainstream “travel photography.” Our discussions include the technical, aesthetic and cultural considerations that enable you to create more intimate and authentic images— both here and in other “exotic” locations. This journey is a true adventure and photographer’s paradise. There is an optional post-Ladakh extension to visit Agra and the Taj Mahal. WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Amateurs, Advanced Amateurs, and Professionals WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Working knowledge of your computer and digital SLR camera SPECIAL NOTES: Film cameras are welcome, although digital capture allows for frequent feedback and critique. PACKAGE PRICE: $4,850; tuition and land cost only. For complete information, visit www.himalayanodyssey.net or call (800) 970-5904.

Ghost Ranch, New Mexico

Utah’s Canyon Country

The stunning scenery surrounding historic Ghost Ranch has inspired scores of painters, writers, and photographers, among them Georgia O’Keeffe, Paul Strand, Marsden Hartley, and Ansel Adams. The northern New Mexico countryside features some of the Southwest’s most spectacular cliffs, washed in a rainbow of colors and dotted with ancient twisted junipers, while stately cottonwoods line the banks of the Chama River. We find added inspiration on a specially arranged tour of Georgia O’Keeffe’s renowned home and studio in nearby Abiquiu.

Talk about location! Our base at Boulder Mountain Lodge is surrounded by easy access to the slot canyons of Grand StaircaseEscalante, the wild colors of Kodachrome Basin, and the amazing diversity of Capitol Reef. Optional longer drives reveal the wonders of Coral Pink Sand Dunes, and Zion and Arches National Parks. If you want to push your vision immersed in the heart of Utah’s canyon jewels, this is both the experience and the location to consider.

Bhutan: Land of the Thunder Dragon October 17–November 1

Visually astounding and culturally fascinating, Bhutan is unique in a world that seems to grow more homogenous with each passing day. It is a country of almost surreal natural beauty, graced with a traditional culture deeply rooted in Buddhist values and practice. The government refers to the “Gross National Happiness” of the country as a more important measure of progress than their GNP. David Samuel Robbins guides photographers interested in developing a more distinctive, personal style of imagery that transcends the boundaries of traditional “travel photography.” Our extended journey (12 full days in the country) allows us to experience Bhutan’s many charms. Touring through more than half the breadth of the country, we visit the most prominent dzongs (ancient fortress-monasteries), and take frequent, easy-to-moderate day hikes to rural villages and hilltop temples where millennia-old Tibetan Buddhist rituals continue unchanged. We also attend the annual masked dance festival at Jambay Lhakhang Drub. The schedule includes frequent photo demonstrations and feedback on your own work in progress. WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Amateurs, Advanced Amateurs, and Professionals WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW: Working knowledge of your computer and digital SLR camera PACKAGE PRICE: $ 5,895; tuition and land cost only.

Ireland: Portraits of Western Ireland August 5–15

Western Ireland is a land of remarkable light, rugged natural beauty, and warm people eager to share their rich heritage of music, folklore, literature, and history. From our home base in County Mayo, the last bastion of old Ireland where traditional culture still thrives, we travel south to Connemara and north to Achill Island, photographing tiny villages, hidden beaches, ancient abbeys, and druid woods. Days are spent photographing in two or three locations — special places you could never find on your own. One of the special aspects of our tour is what we call “unscheduled stops.” A neighbor may invite us to a party, or a potter may show us around her studio. Or we may attend the Ballinrobe horse races, a cattle auction, a sheep shearing contest, or an outdoor farmer’s market. We discover a land and culture through living it, not just visiting it. Our guide is the well-known photographer and author, Ron Rosenstock. Ron has a long-standing love affair with Ireland and has guided tours to Ireland for the last 30 years. His affection for the land and the people is contagious. Accommodations are at Hillcrest House, a comfortable home used exclusively to host photography groups. Set in rolling green fields with a view of Croagh Patrick and a cook to prepare breakfast and dinner, our home base provides both respite and inspiration The tour concludes with a day and night in the charming village of Ennis, a remarkably beautiful hamlet of cobblestone streets and brightly colored storefronts in County Clare.

Peru: Lost City of the Incas, Machu Picchu August 28 –September 6

Nothing you may have read, no photographs or films you may have seen, can prepare you for the awe-inspiring moment when you visit Machu Picchu for the first time. It is a miraculous place, charged with the grandeur of more than six centuries of history and the legend of the Incas. We spend parts of three days on site, walking ancient pathways, surrounded by an astonishing visual landscape. We journey through the Sacred Valley, where we visit a grammar school set against a backdrop of the snow-capped Andes. In the nearby village of Willoq, we observe local craftswomen weaving their colorful textiles. We photograph in traditional outdoor markets and visit a private home to celebrate the festival of Mother Earth. Before sharing lunch with a local family, we participate in a sacred blessing conducted by a shaman. This travel workshop with John Weiss is a rare opportunity to witness Peruvian traditions from the inside, and to experience firsthand a series of unique cultural and photographic opportunities.

The human figure has long been a favorite subject of artists in every medium, including photography. The elements of form, gesture, line, texture, light and shadow, and artistic intention all play vital roles in creating successful figure studies. By placing the human figure into a unique and inspiring landscape, we add the additional element of nature and open up countless new opportunities for exploration. Developing a personal vision and point of view is a key goal of this workshop. In daily field sessions, we learn how to work with models in a professional manner, to create an environment of trust and collaboration. We also learn how to establish a rhythm to the shoot that encourages artistic feedback and active participation from the model. Classroom time is devoted to discussions, critiques of the previous day’s images, and one-on-one reviews. Our base for the workshop is a spectacular 5,000 acre ranch in Park City, Utah. The property includes large stands of aspen, streams, large rock outcroppings, and a lake. There will be a 3:1 ratio of photographers to models. A maximum of nine participants ensures there is plenty of time for individual attention and one-on-one time with Allen. More information on this workshop is available at www.nudephotoworkshops.com. ALLEN BIRNBACH has been a widely recognized commercial and fine art photographer for over 30 years. His long-term interests in landscape photography and dancers were first combined in his series, “Defining Eden,” which explores the spiritual connection of the human and the natural world.

Alaska: The Glacier Bay Experience

NEW

August 28– September 3

A photographer’s paradise awaits you at Southeast Alaska’s Glacier Bay National Park, where mountain peaks soar 15,000 feet above the sea and provide a breathtaking backdrop for deep fjords, protected coves, and tidewater glaciers. The park is home to a rich array of wildlife, including black and grizzly bears, wolves, mountain goats, humpback whales, and over 200 species of birds. Our adventure begins at Bartlett Cove and the rustic Glacier Bay Lodge for an orientation. On day 2 we board our home base for the next six days, the M/V Sea Wolf (www.seawolfadventures.net). This 97-foot charter, one of the few small vessels permitted to operate in the national park, is large enough to be seaworthy, yet small enough to slip into narrow coves and inlets. It has double-occupancy sleeping quarters and a galley where our personal chef creates healthful, palate-pleasing meals. Each day includes shore excursions and the opportunity to personally paddle an ocean kayak among the coves and bobbing glacial ice. We explore and photograph areas of the park not normally seen by the casual tourist as we eat, sleep and photograph the “Glacier Bay Experience.” Escape the cruise ship crowds, and experience this natural wonder on an intimate scale—up close and very personal! KRISTA ELRICK’s passion for mixing land conservation with the wisdom of traditional cultures has led her on photographic projects from Central America to coastal Alaska. She began teaching while earning her MFA. Thirty years later, she continues to offer workshops, exhibit her prints, and publish her work. Krista’s web site is www.KristaElrick.com. ANDREA J.

JERRY COURVOISIER

Southwestern Photographic Journey

NEW

August 22–28

This seven-day photographic journey is a once-in-a-lifetime trip through the visually extraordinary, enchanting, and spectacular landscape of the American Southwest. The region’s diverse topography creates an interplay of light, shadow, and color that is unsurpassed anywhere. The breathtaking locations on the tour provide opportunities to explore the beauty of this compelling landscape and culture. Discover why this enchanted landscape so inspired such artists as Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, and Georgia O’Keeffe. Our journey begins and ends in Santa Fe, an international travel destination renowned for its history, unique adobe architecture, and vibrant arts and culture. From Santa Fe we travel to such scenic gems as Bandelier National Monument, Ghost Ranch, Chaco Canyon, Horse Shoe Bend, Monument Valley and Canyon de Chelly. Because the group is limited to six participants, you can progress at your own pace and expect individual attention. For more information visit www.jerrycourvoisier.com.

Explore Australia on an extraordinary photographic adventure. This insider’s tour takes us to remote and exclusive locations, where Jerry and Julie Courvoisier share their deep knowledge of both Australia and photography. Our journey begins in cosmopolitan Melbourne. From there, we travel to one of the world’s most dramatic coastlines, the Great Ocean Road, where special boat access allows us to photograph the breathtaking rock formations of the Twelve Apostles. Next, we photograph a working sheep shearing station, picturesque Adelaide, and the famous vineyards of the Adelaide Hills. We then ferry to Kangaroo Island, one of the world’s last unspoiled refuges, noted for its outstanding natural beauty, rare and diverse plants, and wildlife. Our journey concludes with the Flinders Ranges, renowned for its mountain views and gorges. Accompanied by an Aboriginal guide, we learn the creation stories about mythical serpents that shaped the formation of this ancient colossus. Here we experience the true “Outback,” photographing the landscape and the local characters on which legends are based. Jerry guides our small group of adventurous photographers, providing expert advice on digital capture and workflow. Julie, a native of Australia, enriches our experience with her local knowledge. For complete details please visit www.jerrycourvoisier.com.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer E-6 film or traditional black-and-white processing at this time.

Our sincerest desire is to maintain a consistent level of photographic proficiency, therefore many workshops for Advanced Amateurs and Professionals require a submission of images prior to acceptance. Your application and deposit will reserve a space in the workshop of your choice, but you are not officially accepted into a workshop that requires a portfolio until we review appropriate samples of your photography. Images are reviewed by Workshops staff. If we do not feel that your choice is appropriate, we will call you and discuss other possibilities. If you choose not to transfer to a suggested alternate workshop, we will refund the deposit, less the $45 application fee.
