The Craft of Fine Digital Photography

June 10-June 24, 2012

A two-week digital photography workshop at the Aegean Center with emphasis on producing fine digital prints in both colour and black & white.

We will work through the entire digital photography workflow including colour theory, calibration, building your own ICC profiles, scanning, camera work and materials. Our digital lab is comprised of up-to-date MacPro systems utilizing current versions of Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Camera RAW.

From capture to finished print we address how use of technical control informs our ideas and creative voice; how 'craft' is essential to the creative process fostering potential and possibilities for expression.

When keen observation, technical ability, practiced knowledge of craft and aesthetic awareness coalesce one is much more likely to make a successful statement and realize the goal of creating a fine photograph.

For colour printing we will be using Epson K3 and UltraChrome HDR ink sets on the 3880 and 7900 printers. For black and white printing we will use both Epson ink sets as well as the remarkable carbon black Piezography system developed by Jon Cone on a converted Epson 4800.

 

Course limited to 8 participants.
