the places photography takes us Tanzania, Oaxaca, Bhutan, Peru, Oregon, Route 66, Central Park, and Santa Fe are some of the breathtaking places photography is taking us this year. With our camera as our passport and adventure in our dreams, we head off to explore the world and its amazing places with eyes fine-tuned to make images. Our passion for photography encourages us to go places, to wander, to experience, and to see the land, people and culture in a way not possible without a camera. Over the years, I have been lucky enough to take part in several of our Around The World educational programs that promote cultural exchange and people-to-people interaction. My resulting images, mostly portraits, reveal the character and heart of the people I encountered. The process of creating a portrait and the resulting personal exchange enabled me to learn more about their lives. One lovely encounter with Marta and her granddaughter resulted in a portrait I am proud of. This connection would not have been possible without a camera around my neck. Photography takes us to places and it also reveals these places to us. The camera is a wonderful instrument of discovery and understanding. It connects us to the people and events we encounter and engage in the photographic process. The camera can also turn itself around and provide insights into who we are and how we see the world. I learn about myself when I make images. You can, too. The camera is an amazing tool! This year, make a pledge to let photography take you to places unseen and worlds undiscovered, be it a far-flung destination or your back yard. With all good wishes,

mentorship program

Work one-on-one with world-renowned photographers

Mentorships Overview Learning from a master through an apprenticeship has been a valued tradition throughout history. Even today, many experts recommend working one-on-one with a mentor to accelerate one’s path to success. Designed for advanced amateur photographers and professionals, our Mentorship Program connects you with our talented photographer instructors —from anywhere in the world. A mentorship is often goal-oriented; it could focus on developing a business plan to start your photography career, building a stronger portfolio for graduate school, exhibiting in a gallery, printing in a magazine, publishing your book, or simply creating a memorable portfolio of personal images under the watchful eye of a photography master. Your mentor will champion your work—guiding and supporting your dreams and aspirations as a photographer.

Choosing a Mentorship

Making the decision to embark upon a mentorship to move your photography forward is a major decision. The first formal step is to speak with Reid Callanan, director of The Workshops. In addition to answering your questions, Reid will expect you to articulate your goals for a mentorship and to have reviewed the mentor biography’s on The Workshops web site.

Intensive: Authenticity– The Process of Photographic Creativity September 7-9

Blue Fier

Intensive: Time-Lapse Photography September 1-3

Time-lapse sequences are an exciting way to add motion content to your photography skills. When stills are taken over a long period of time and played back at a faster rate, time speeds up and a dynamic new medium unfolds. In this fast-paced, two-and-a-half day intensive we use still images from our digital cameras and explore the endless subject possibilities and uses of time-lapse movies. We start with looking at the many uses of time-lapse sequences. We then learn how to set up our digital cameras, use an intervalometer to time the image sequences, and pick the right interval for different subjects. After recording our first images, we use Adobe Lightroom to import, adjust, and export them. Next, we bring everything into QuickTime Pro to assemble the initial movie and move it to iMovie to add titles and other effects. We head outdoors to grab additional footage and record audio in the field with portable digital stereo recorders before returning to The Workshops state-of-the-art digital lab to complete the process. The next step is importing our audio into GarageBand and sweetening the sound with editing and layering techniques. We combine the audio with your new iMovie and take time to view and critique your finished project. Finally, we upload your movies to YouTube or Vimeo so others can see them—and collapse in happy exhaustion! Blue Fier specializes in the vigorous field of location photography. He has photographed advertising campaigns for major corporations, creating images of people and products in exotic environments. Blue feels his MA and MFA degrees in art have given him a classic yet unique perspective. His years of creating order out of chaos have lead to his recently published book, Composition Photo Workshop, which has been translated into Spanish, Czech, Polish, and Mandarin Chinese. This is Blue’s second year teaching for The Workshops. His web site is www.bluefier.com.

Authenticity is the single most important attribute a photographer can learn and possess. Not only is it a process of working from within, but it can also eventually lead to the creation of the masterpiece. This workshop explores the perceptual and technical processes involved in authenticity. Typically, photographers practice their craft without giving enough thought to vision, awareness, and the basic fundamental technical aspects that cause the effects they create. In contrast, the process of authenticity deals directly with the fundamentals of creating an image, by enabling photographers to work directly from their unique nature, rather than photographing derivatively. George starts by reviewing the fundamentals of “photographic seeing,” and the skills necessary to accomplish it. Next, we examine the basic technical problems that hound us when we are making images, both in photographing a subject and in post-processing. Lastly, we study and practice a way to free ourselves from the concepts and styles of other photographers. The simple answer to a creative life in photography is emptying yourself of all unnecessary impediments, and seeing the world as if only the wind had blown that way before. This intensive starts you toward accomplishing this goal by freeing you from entrenched rules of composition, foundational technical problems, and unproductive behaviors. George DeWolfe is an award-winning photographer whose career spans more than 40 years. A student of Ansel Adams and Minor White, George studied perception with Dr. Richard Zakia and earned an MFA in photography and graphic art from the Rochester Institute of Technology. His commercial clients include APC, Eastman Kodak, and Sears. He has published three books: At Home in the Wild, George DeWolfe’s Digital Fine Print Workshop, and B&W Printing. George leads workshops and seminars nationwide on such topics as “Large Format, Digital Fine Prints,” “The Master Print,” “Contemplative Photography,” and “The Contemplative Landscape.” This is George’s 12th year teaching at The Workshops. His web site is www.georgedewolfe.com.

Jock McDonald

Exceptional Portraits September 10-14

Delve into an extremely creative, intuitive realm of hands-on portraiture that goes beyond mere technical expertise to capture the emotional spirit of subjects. On location and in the classroom, Jock demonstrates ways to approach the human portrait to incorporate not only character but emotion, too. We explore—on location and in historic Santa Fe—the concepts of human relationships, risk-taking, emotion, and creativity. Under Jock’s guidance, we practice illuminating 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 and use 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 use combinations of flash and available light to take in the remarkable and colorful surroundings of Santa Fe, our backdrop for making portraits. We also go on location to the New Mexico State Fair and rodeo, as well as local ranches. Participants willing to share and be open to feedback from group discussions, critiques, and individual time with Jock take portraiture to a new level. It’s all about finding the exceptional emotional moment within the decisive moment. © George DeWolfe

George DeWolfe

The Black-and-White Master Print September 10-14

A masterpiece is the product of an artist’s individual authentic genius. That authenticity forms presence, the result of light working on form. An examination of the great master painters and photographers reveals that this relationship—light on form creating presence—is the key element of a genuine masterpiece. This workshop lays out the perceptual and technical skills necessary to practice and create presence. We begin with a detailed study of presence in Old Master paintings and photographs. Then we head out on location to make our photographs, applying the perceptual and photographic skills necessary to achieve presence. Back in The Workshops state-of-the-art digital lab, we learn about perceptual correction skills and image manipulation tools. For simplicity, we use no more than five specifically relevant tools—our emphasis is on the organic process of perception and presence, not the complexities of imaging tools and techniques. We complete the workshop by printing inkjet photographs that reveal the presence we have given life to in our images. This is an opportunity for photographers to hone their perceptual skills, while learning how to use a minimal number of highly effective tools to create the essential element of presence.

Jock McDonald has been a professional photographer for 28 years. His work, in both black-and-white and color, is distinguished by wit, humor, pathos, and qualities of mystery. Jock’s most recent exhibition, “One World Portrait,” was shown at the Lehigh University Art Gallery Virtual Gallery 2010. His portraits and depictions of rural life around the world have been widely published and exhibited in the U.S., Mexico, Russia, Ukraine, and Cuba. His clients include Absolut Vodka, Eastman Kodak, Gap, Levi Strauss & Co., Vogue (French and German editions), and Xerox. This is Jock’s second year teaching for The Workshops. His web site is www.jockmcdonald.com.

Route 66 Photo Adventure: Capture to Print September 18-22

Take the off ramp into a bygone era of Route 66 in New Mexico, and see how America traveled from 1926 up to the 1960’s. Our photographic journey takes us to the intact and off-the-beaten-path locations where we discover wonderful old Route 66 trading posts, filling stations, diners, tourist traps, vintage cars, and ghost towns, all along the scenic “Mother Road.” We begin at the heart of Route 66 in Albuquerque exploring both the new and vintage sites along the famous Central Avenue. For the next two days, we continue our road trip, traveling past the Texas state line to Adrian, the midway point of Route 66. We work to hone our travel photography skills and our personal style and our schedule includes field demonstrations and individual reviews of work in progress. On Saturday morning, we return to Santa Fe along the pre-1937 route. The remainder of our time is spent editing, processing, and printing our images in The Workshops state-of-the-art digital lab. The often-romanticized Route 66 inspires in many of us a nostalgic tug at something buried deep within us. The Mother Road is a unique experience, a feeling, a perception, a taste of sight and sound, and a photo journey not to be missed.

JULIEN McROBERTS is a leading Southwest editorial photographer who has the unique ability to capture intimate cultural moments, places, and people without ever disturbing the scene. Her extensive travel experience helps her to know where and how to situate herself in order to find these unique moments.

Autumn in Northern New Mexico is a magical time of year. The landscape is awash with color, the air brisk, the light gently envelops, and Santa Fe is vibrant with special seasonal activities. Our new Focus Series workshops embrace landscape and color— the dominant themes of this stunning season. Join us for these uniquely structured and inspiring week-long learning experiences.

Each of the eight workshops in The Focus Series has a photographic theme—LANDSCAPE photography during the last week in September and COLOR photography the first week of October. The workshop instructors have been carefully chosen for their expertise in the given theme, their experience leading workshops, and their interest in working collaboratively with each other to create a rich and lively educational program.

One of the little noted but truly valuable benefits of attending a workshop in Santa Fe is meeting and interacting with participants and instructors in other classes. Taking this benefit to the next logical step, The Focus Series is a new program—part workshop, part festival, part seminar—that allows you to enroll in a workshop and also engage and interact on a formal basis with the other three workshop instructors and their participants. Each participant selects one workshop to focus on during the week, with the added benefit of all-community activities throughout the week that include instructor image presentations, roundtable discussions with questions and answers, technical presentations, and all-group meals. The Focus Series is designed to be an educational experience unlike any other, one that will change the way you look at the world and just may change the way you look at your life. Don’t miss this opportunity to take your photography to unimagined levels.

Come to inspirational Santa Fe during the magnificent autumn season for The Focus Series and expand your photographic horizons, hone your technical skills, and refine your creative vision with master photographers and our broad community of workshop participants. clockwise from left: © Kate Breakey, © Mark Muench, © Gregory Heisler, © Linde Waidhofer, © Michael Long

High Desert Light

focusseries

September 23-28

There is no better place to study the interplay of light and land than the exquisite high desert of Santa Fe. And with the inspiring light and landscapes of Northern New Mexico beckoning, rest assured this workshop is first and foremost about photographing. Mark takes us to a wide variety of locations, where we concentrate on working with the light to make a great subject stand out. We visit those locations multiple times to study the effects that different times of day—and different types of weather—have on our subjects. We go to at least one of our chosen spots at night to take advantage of New Mexico’s clear, starry skies, using this special time to examine one of the more unusual aspects of high desert light. Our classroom time is spent reviewing images and reinforcing learned techniques, such as how to utilize different types of light and effectively post-process those images, with a special emphasis on the night exposures. We practice pre-visualization and strengthen our compositional skills by learning how to read our images, breaking them down into regions to post-process different areas separately. We also work in Adobe Lightroom and pick up some helpful Adobe Photoshop techniques. Guided by Mark’s expertise on location, we deeply examine the role of light in turning a good image into a truly outstanding image.

Whenever you venture into a landscape—whether it’s a natural environment or one that is human-constructed—you are offered countless photographic opportunities. The potential lies not only in what you see, but also in how you interpret it. In this expansive workshop, Michael encourages us all to embrace an increased awareness of what a landscape photograph can be and helps us find the visual language to bring it to life. We spend daily time together in natural and urban landscape settings, investigating the language of composition—form, color, line, and positive and negative space—as well as the meanings that lie behind what we see literally and feel emotionally. Michael guides us first in seeing and then in capturing the vast nuances of light and interplay of shadows. Working with the grandeur of the expansive terrain and the intimacies encompassed within it, you uncover perceptions and interpretations that connect to something deeply personal. Your reward is the inspiring photographic work that results. Santa Fe and its surrounding area offer a captivating environment that encourages an openness of vision and an increased photographic awareness. Come take advantage of Northern New Mexico’s breathtaking terrain and learn techniques that allow you to create landscape images that are both poetic and unique. Michael Long is the founder of Austin Photography Workshops. He received a MFA from the University of Colorado and a BFA from the College of Santa Fe, both in photography. He also studied painting with Richard Pousette-Dart at the Art Students League of New York.

Eddie Soloway

A Natural Eye Master Class: Finding Your Voice

focusseries

September 23-28

There comes a time in the creative journey when it’s no longer enough to make nice but unconnected images. Instead, you find yourself looking for a voice, a starting point from which to express a passion, and a way to tie all together. This new landscape master class takes the journey deeper, as you figure out what you want to say and explore ways of saying it. Our week begins with your presentation of where you are, and where you want to go, photographically. Then you look inside yourself and determine how to bring your vision forward. Using your camera as a sketching tool, you are introduced to many ways of articulating your vision and many outlets for introducing it to the world. Our week includes daily forums, photo diaries, visual exercises, and guest artists who share their own journeys. Throughout, Eddie celebrates the act of seeing and shares his commitment to complete immersion in the landscape. His contagious enthusiasm and invaluable guidance support you as you plunge into deeper commitment. Take your technical proficiency and self-sufficiency to the next level as you connect with your individual voice and discover how to create compelling images with a unifying focus.

Mexican author Juan Rulfo wrote: “A landscape is not just the description of what our eyes see but rather the revelation of what lies behind visual appearances. A landscape never refers only to itself but to something else, something beyond—a metaphysics, a religion, a conception of humanity or of the cosmos.” He’s right. Your landscape photography expresses who you are and what you really care about. It is an interpretation of the world and, at its best, an intensely personal interpretation. But how do you get there? There is no simple formula, but there is a two-part path. One part is mastering the craft (nowadays, this encompasses digital photo techniques) and, in the process, honing and refining your own graphic and photographic style. The other part is connecting with your subject matter. Whether this is a landscape, a specific physical place, or a landscape theme, it should be something that moves you deeply, something you simply have to photograph. We follow both paths, photographing intriguing places in great New Mexico light, and—even more important—critiquing and discussing your photographic journey. Your goal is to create not just a random assortment of good images but a cohesive group of photos that allows you to delve deeper into landscape.

The Hand-Colored Photographic Print

focusseries

September 30-October 5

Hand-coloring is as old as photography itself. In the 19th century, color tinting was applied to early black-and-white prints to make them more closely resemble reality; it was the advent of color films in the 1950s that took photographic hand-coloring techniques into the realm of interpretive artistic expression, which is where it lives today. Applied color has become a way for photographers to communicate their feelings, not just simply a means of creating another color image. Kate introduces you to the materials and techniques of hand-coloring while inspiring you to experiment with your own creative process. You start with traditional silver-based or digitally output prints and then apply a variety of paints, pigments, pencils, and inks to extend the photographic image and produce the effects you are want. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. “Photography is magic in its own mysterious, chemical way,” Kate says, “but I love pigment—the color, the smell, the whole tactile thing.” Spend a week exploring the fine-art possibilities of the hand-colored image with a modern-day master.

The goal of this legendary workshop—rarely offered and always sold out— is to help serious photographers, both professional and amateurs, jumpstart the process of taking their work to the next level. It is designed to motivate by identifying obstacles, clarifying work, and taking the steps necessary to revitalize careers and promote richer photographic lives. Working with renowned photographer and teacher Sam Abell, participants edit their existing portfolios and generate new work. In addition to an intensive daily program of editing and photographic assignments, our schedule includes in-depth, one-on-one and group portfolio sessions with Sam as well as field trips into the compelling cultural landscape of New Mexico. Throughout the workshop each individual seeks to answer two essential questions: “What is a well-lived photographic life?” and “How do I achieve it?” The durable result of this immersion in photography is a leaner, finer approach to working, editing, and carrying projects and careers forward to the next level. Participants in this workshop should have enough of an established path in photography that, through their work and words, they can share with one another the road they have traveled so far, their dreams, and their future destinations. Growth is essential to a well-lived photographic life. This is a workshop about promoting that growth through new work and through applying timeless patterns of thinking about photography in our lives. Sam Abell is a gifted and insightful teacher, an expressive artist, and a sensitive photographer who learned photography from his father, Thad Abell. For 30 years Sam worked for National Geographic as a contract and staff photographer. In 1990, his work was the subject of a one-person exhibition at the International Center of Photography in New York. Since then he has published three collections of his work: Seeing Gardens, Sam Abell: The Photographic Life and The Life of a Photograph. In addition, Sam maintains a career as a writer, teacher, and lecturer on photography. This is his 22nd year teaching at The Workshops.

The Color Moment

Gregory Heisler

The Evocative Portrait

focusseries

September 30-October 5

Photographing people with a sense of intention. Deliberateness. Purpose. This is what separates the casual or candid portrait from the evocative portrait. Join Gregory in exploring a philosophy and methodology of portraiture that balances conscious decision-making with intuitive navigation of the unpredictable shifts that inevitably occur during the making of a portrait. In the process of making new photographs together, we discuss and demonstrate the cascading series of choices that face every photographer who embark on the creation of a portrait. Choices involving light, mood, tone, and color. Choices involving selection of environment, location, and ambience. Choices involving lighting and camera equipment. Choices that affect your working style. Choices that affect the experience for the subject. Choices that ultimately define the portrait. There are no correct choices; there are only your choices, as personal as your fingerprints. And there is no single best way; it’s a matter of finding the way that works best for you, a way that is truly and uniquely yours. While portraiture is a collaboration, the power rests with the photographer. Learn to use this power to create your best work. It’s what you owe your client, your subject, and yourself. What’s more, it’s empowering, gratifying, and fun.

The great color photographer Ernst Haas once said, “The decisive moment in black and white is not the same in color. Each needs awareness in seeing and, because of this, a different discipline.” Join Arthur in a journey of exploration to heighten your awareness of seeing in color and record those distinctive color moments. Through daily assignments, critiques and discussions, you acquire new techniques to help you become more sensitive to light, color, and composition—and learn to capture those fleeting instants when all the elements come together. The week begins with a review of each participant’s images and a discussion of personal and career goals. In addition to addressing the aesthetics of the color moment, Arthur leads group critiques and spends individual time guiding you in applying your unique vision and refining your style for creative fulfillment and professional success. Daily assignments in the field allow us to take advantage of the stunning light and colors of Northern New Mexico. This workshop also affords a rare opportunity to collaborate with instructors and participants of the other workshops being conducted concurrently. You leave this intense and fun-filled week with a greater appreciation for color, a stronger awareness of your personal vision and strengths, and an enhanced sensitivity in capturing the “decisive moment” in color. ARTHUR MEYERSON is an award-winning photographer and highly sought after workshop instructor. He 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 top 10 corporate photographers and was named one of the 30 best advertising photographers by American Photo. In 1999, Arthur was named a Nikon Legend Behind the Lens. His photographs are exhibited internationally and appear in such periodicals as Communication Arts, Rangefinder, and Graphis.

Leah Bendavid-Val and Sam Abell

Writing for Photographers October 6-9

Learn how your words can add power and meaning to your photography. All photographers can benefit from the ability to write about themselves and their work. This workshop is for photographers who want to express themselves through the written word, be it for use on web sites, in print publications, or to pitch their work for exhibition. It’s also the perfect workshop for those who simply want to explore ways to articulate their photographic aspirations and accomplishments. During the course of the workshop, we look at books and web sites and take field trips to the Photo-Eye bookstore and galleries in Santa Fe. In the classroom we look at successful (and unsuccessful) relationships between photographs and texts and show how carefully chosen words can bring insight and public awareness to your work. There is more than one way to write beautifully—we involve ourselves with various options for writing about your own images. Plan to bring approximately 50 photographs for discussion. In one-on-one conversations with Leah and Sam we reduce the number to approximately ten. We discuss your personal writing goals and we work with you as you apply them to your selected photographs. By the end of the workshop, you have a simple, to-the-point biography, along with concrete descriptions of photographs and projects. In addition to being practical, this workshop will be lighthearted and fun (not ponderous and intimidating!).

Now that you have learned the basics of your camera, it is time to tackle available light and your flash equipment—sometimes called speedlites, off-camera flashes, or small strobes. When we as photographers start to take control and gain hands-on, practical experience, it becomes time to take the camera off auto-mode and start managing the balance between available light and flash. At first encounter, speedlites, with all their bells and whistles, can seem like technical monsters. But as we explore our flashes on manual mode, the control of light begins to make sense and, at the same time, stimulates our imagination. Understanding and exploring lighting can give you consistent control over the “feeling” of your images. Our focus is on the color, quality, and direction of light. We use available light and flash to enhance what we see and what we want to capture with our cameras. In addition, we use these tools to express ourselves creatively. Daily assignments and two evening sessions photographing in Santa Fe are a part of our planned activities. The atmosphere in this four-day workshop is one of exploration, practice, and play. So bring your cameras, speedlites, thirst for knowledge, and creative vision. Rick Allred’s biography is on page 24.

Basics of Digital Photography October 15-19

Nevada Wier

Intensive: Digital Infrared

NEW

October 12-14

Infrared photography is a way of creating images using the invisible infrared light that strikes your subject. Long-time infrared experimenter Nevada Wier calls it “invisible poetry,” because in the process of studying this technique, you move beyond your usual methods of photographing and discover a new way of seeing the world. Infrared is not only ideal for creating dreamy, surreal landscapes, but it’s also lovely for portrait and still life photography. Infrared photography in the digital age is light years ahead of its film counterpart. Two factors have led to this unique niche becoming more accessible: first, the use of digital cameras that have been converted to render infrared light and, second, new digital workflow protocols. In this two-and-a-half day intensive, Nevada introduces you to digital infrared photography. Using converted cameras and Adobe software, you learn the ins and outs of photographing and processing your images. After getting comfortable with the technique, you move into the creative and experimental side of making images with the infrared spectrum. Historic Santa Fe, the neighboring town of Nambé, and the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta provide us with dramatic locations for our infrared explorations. By the end of this intensive you are a maven of invisible light and a maker of photographic poetry!

Jennifer Spelman is a freelance editorial and documentary photographer. She was first introduced to photography by documenting crime scenes for jury presentation with a District Attorney’s office. Leaving behind the world of law enforcement she received her photographic training as a course coordinator with The Workshops, working with some of today’s most preeminent photographers: Jay Maisel, David Alan Harvey & Antonin Kratochvil. Jennifer has been published in Food & Wine, The Sun, Rangefinder, and B&W. Her clients include Seven Squared Media, The Heart Gallery, What Moves You, Sanjhi, and Sustainable Santa Fe.

DOTTIE LOPEZ

Composition and Light

NEW

October 22-26

Have you ever asked yourself what makes a good photograph? If you haven’t, you should—and if you have, this workshop is designed to help you answer that all-important question. Join Dottie Lopez as she leads you on a fascinating journey to learn which visual elements are present in those images that speak to the masses. Through lively discussions, image presentations, daily assignments, and group critiques, we explore the visual foundation for creating a compelling photographic image. Dottie reviews the images of iconic and obscure photographers, evaluating the visual techniques and design elements that make the images memorable ones. Under her guidance, we investigate different ways of seeing: using space and depth; finding harmony and balance; and depicting discord and drama. Throughout it all, we focus on that crucial element, the capturing of the critical moment. While knowing how to design the elements in a photograph is important, equally essential to a powerful image is the use of light. In our five days together, Dottie imparts the fundamentals of light—how to see it and evaluate its quality, how to manage it, and how to record it to enhance the power of your photographs. By the week’s end, you possess a solid foundation in seeing, constructing, composing, and playing with light to create images you are proud to share. Dottie Lopez left a career in corporate America to pursue her passion for photography. As a student at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography, she enhanced her photographic and darkroom skills while immersing herself in the digital world. Dottie served as a course coordinator at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops and later worked in the digital lab, where she assisted many renowned Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom artists. She has also worked and taught alongside many National Geographic photographers. Dottie provides private tutoring and coaching, helping students strengthen their own photography. This is her fifth year teaching for The Workshops. Her web site is www.dottielopezphotography.com.

Each participant brings 20 to 30 images from one body of work, such as a personal project or a commercial venture, and learns how to edit, sequence, and lay out a beautiful and stylish photo book that can be ordered online, on demand. We explore all the capabilities of BookSmart in depth, and Susan explains Blurb’s new Color Managed Workflow options. We also investigate Blurb’s ImageWrap feature, the option of dust jackets, and how to enhance static templates with Blurb’s Edit Layout feature. For inspiration and design ideas, we examine books previously published with Blurb, as well as traditionally published books. Participants leave this workshop with their new books ready to be uploaded and published. Susan Hayre is a fine-art photographer and photographic educator. In August she completed her MFA Photography through the Hartford Art School, University of Hartford where she studied with Jörg Colberg, Robert Lyons, Alec Soth and Doug DuBois.

NEW The Best of Turkey – A Photographic and Cultural Exploration

October 4-15 If you have never been to Turkey, the warmth of the Turkish people will amaze you. The architecture in the cities is truly awe-inspiring, and in the countryside you are welcomed into Turkish homes, served tea or baklava at any moment. We photograph in some of Turkey’s most visually exciting places. In the alluring city of Istanbul, we discover where the treasures of the Silk and Spice routes met their markets. Istanbul is also the site of Hagia Sophia (Temple of Wisdom), the Blue Mosque, the Topkapi Palace of famous harems, and the fabulous Spice and Grand Bazaars. Ephesus, the best-preserved classical city in the eastern Mediterranean, is the place to get a feel for what life was like in Roman times. The iconic ruins, photographed in soft light at dawn and dusk, are stunning. We also visit artisan villages in the surrounding countryside, photographing workers and their families. Then there are the less traveled valleys of Cappadocia, full of weird, lunar-like landscapes. Here we have time in small villages, visiting craftsmen, their friends, and neighbors. Our Turkey tour promises to be a highlight for photography of both landscape and people. john weiss’s biography is on page 64.

Maine’s Mount Desert Island, the home of Acadia National Park, is a photographer’s playground. It boasts the East Coast’s highest mountains as well as its only true fjord.

Timed to coincide with the peak of fall colors on the Maine coast, this workshop is based in the picturesque village of Bar Harbor. Our schedule includes capturing both sunrise and sunset from the top of Cadillac Mountain, photographing the forest and reflections of Jordan and Bubble ponds, driving the famed Ocean Road, and wandering the quaint villages of Bernard, Southwest Harbor, and Somersville.

Join us in New York to celebrate autumn color while immersing your photography in Eddie’s eye-opening ideas and practical insights into pushing your images in new directions.

Africa PhotoAdventure December 7-18

Visualize yourself in Africa, at a private game preserve between Mts. Kilimanjaro and Meru. Herds of elephant, impala, zebra, and wildebeest graze near the permanent tented guest retreat at Ndarakwai, home base for this incredible journey. With diverse habitats from riparian woodland to acacia savannah, the 11,000-acre preserve affords opportunities to make stunning photographs that capture the essence of Africa. Veteran workshop instructors Jennifer Spelman and Renie Haiduk return to Tanzania to lead a small group on an intensive photo excursion of landscape, people and wildlife. Unlike tourist safaris, this is an opportunity for dedicated imagemaking—in the right light, supported by drivers trained to assist photographers. Land Cruisers with ample space for our intimate group give us the flexibility to follow wildlife off-road, with the option for night drives. Time is built in each day for digital workflow, sharing images and discussion. Along with your favorite camera(s), bring your laptop with editing software you are familiar with, and an external hard drive. There will be several evening shows sharing work and a final presentation on our last night at Ndarakwai. Our adventure includes a charter flight to Ndutu—a historic lodge with private verandas facing the lake with its birds and wildlife at your front door—and for four days we photograph animals moving through the spectacular Serengeti Plains. Traveling by land, we stop at Olduvai Gorge and continue on the legendary Ngorongoro Crater for two incomparable days. We then charter back to Ndarakwai to learn about regional cultures, meet and photograph the vibrant Maasai, and discover we can offer as image-makers. Passionate photographers of all levels are welcome. Yes, picture yourself in Africa! Jennifer Spelman is a freelance editorial and documentary photographer. She was first introduced to photography by documenting crime scenes for jury presentation with a District Attorney’s office. Leaving behind the world of law enforcement she received her photographic training as a course coordinator with The Workshops, working with some of today’s most preeminent photographers: Jay Maisel, David Alan Harvey & Antonin Kratochvil. Jennifer has been published in Food & Wine, The Sun, Rangefinder, and B&W. Her clients include Seven Squared Media, The Heart Gallery, What Moves You, Sanjhi, and Sustainable Santa Fe.

She has assisted and photographed alongside many of the best-known contemporary black-and-white photographers, including Keith Carter, Elizabeth Opalenik, Rodney Smith, and Joyce Tenneson. Her own photography is an expressive interpretation of her subject, whether it is a landscape or a loved one. Renie’s creative yet straightforward approach to environmental portraiture invites viewers to examine and ultimately recognize “self.” This is Renie’s seventh year teaching with The Workshops.

OVERVIEW OF SKILL LEVELS AND EXPERIENCE

The Workshops welcomes all levels of photographers, from beginners to professionals. We want to make sure you find the workshop tailored to your interests and skill levels, so we collaborated with our instructors to provide the info 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, see the Digital Capture and Equipment section below.

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. FAMILIARITY: You have a basic understanding WORKING KNOWLEDGE: You are competent and can navigate comfortably PROFICIENCY: You have in-depth experience and are a high-end user As an example, you might see: Working knowledge of your digital SLR camera; familiarity with digital workflow and Adobe Photoshop.

2012 Fall general information

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.

PORTFOLIOS

Our sincerest desire is to maintain a consistent level of photographic proficiency, therefore many workshops for Advanced Amateurs and Professionals require a portfolio submission 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 The 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. After applying for the workshop, submit your images using the following guidelines:

Portfolio Requirements SUBMIT TWENTY PHOTOGRAPHS: Viewing a personal web site or images submitted via email are the preferred method of submission. To submit slides or printed materials please call (505) 983-1400, ext. 11.

Digital Guidelines

• Images should be formatted as 72 dpi JPEGs at 5" x 7" • Images can be sent via email to portfolio@santafeworkshops.com • Images on a CD/DVD must include your contact information on the label, and filenames must include your first and last name

DIGITAL CAPTURE and EQUIPMENT

2012 Fall general information

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS What is the difference between workshop “seasons?”

We refer to three different “seasons” at The Workshops. In 2012, the “photography seasons” are March 7 to March 31, 2012 (Spring), June 24 to August 10 (Summer), and September 23 to October 5 (Fall). During photography seasons there is a mandatory meal plan for all participants, optional housing on campus, and optional breakfast on campus. Aside from these major differences, there are also instructor presentations, group dinners, and participant image presentations. The “off season” is the rest of the year. Digital workshops are scheduled during many of these off weeks, but may be the only class on campus. Consequently, many amenities of the photography season are not available; for example, on-campus housing is limited and no meals are served.

What is meant by a sample of work for those workshops requiring a portfolio?

Some workshops require that you submit a sample of recent photography for final admission. For complete details, visit the Portfolios section in the General Info/Information for Applicants section on our web site.

Why do I have to pay an application fee?

The application fee of $45 per calendar year is mandatory for every participant. This fee helps cover administrative costs of your registration. Most educational institutions charge such a fee.

The State of New Mexico requires all businesses to collect gross receipts tax on all goods and services. In order to not pay tax, you or your company must register for tax exempt status with the State of New Mexico and pay the annual fee. The tax rate as of January 1, 2012 is 8.1875%.
