Bird Photography Like You’ve Never Seen It Before - Adding depth and interest to your bird photographs through compositing multiple capture with Craig Blacklock
Look at nearly any painting of a bird. The bird will be part of an incredible landscape adding visual interest and telling the larger story of where the bird is found. Look at nearly any photograph of a bird. Chances are the bird is nearly filling the frame and the rest of the photograph is out of focus, or at most includes a branch or a few grasses — pretty boring. This workshop will teach you how to plan multiple captures and use compositing techniques, creating photographs that rival the compositions, lighting, and story-telling qualities of paintings, with the added impact of photographic reality. There will be a lecture on Thursday from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm (in Digital Lab 2) and a computer lab session on Saturday from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm. (in Digital Lab 1)

Portraiture and Lighting with J. Tomas Lopez
Additional Fee: $30.00
Ansel Adams famously compared the photographic process to music: the negative is like the score and the print is like the interpretation or playing of that score. With that said, to adhere to the obstinate philosophy that cropping, restaging, burning, dodging, blurring is heresy (or somehow not kosher) is absurd. Picasso said that “an artist makes the lie believable." In this workshop, we will take the portrait through a rigorous evolution starting with the shoot. We will take into consideration the manipulations that are possible in post-production, move to editing the image, and finally to the fine art print. This workshop will give you an excellent re-learning of fine art portraiture.
2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Critique Saturday 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM in Classroom 1

Performers like B.B. King or Tom Petty are excellent examples of strong expressions. Now, you can try your hand at capturing the essence of a performance in a single picture. After a short presentation of Jérôme’s work and personal techniques, you’ll shoot a live rock band. Jérôme will review your work and give you valuable tips so that you, too, can take the shot.
2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

Using the Local Adjustment Tools to Make Extraordinary Images with Lewis Kemper Sponsored by Tamron
Learn how to use the graduated filter, adjustment brush, and the radial filter to set your images apart from the crowd. Ansel Adams used to say, “The negative is the score and the print is the performance.” In today’s digital world, the raw file is the score and your post-processing is the performance. Learn how to use the tools found in both Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom to turn your score into a performance that will dazzle your audiences! Learn how to accentuate the stars in your pictures and to control the lighting of your images. Lewis will demonstrate his technique for “flipping the light” to make your subject the strongest visual element in your pictures.

Truth and Photography on Trial - Photographers as Concerned Citizens with Robert Pledge
The arrests in 2018 of Bangladesh’s Shahidul Alam and China’s Lu Guang, two most highly renowned and acclaimed photographers worldwide, shocked far beyond the international photojournalism community. On August 5, Alam was arrested and detained for 107 days after giving an interview to Al Jazeera and posting videos on Facebook that criticized the government's violent response to road safety protests by students in Dhaka. In early November, whilst traveling in China’s Autonomous Region of Xinjiang, Lu was taken away by state security agents and kept incommunicado for over 200 days. Released, he since lives under strict surveillance in his hometown.
