Master Workshop 419
Light, Lighting and the Portrait with J Tomas Lopez
Additional Fee: $30.00
©J. Thomas Lopez
Ansel Adams famously compared the photographic process to music, with the negative being the score and the print the interpretation or playing of that score. With that said, it makes sense to understand that to adhere to an obstinate philosophy that cropping, restaging, burning, dodging, and blurring are heresy or somehow not kosher is absurd. Picasso said that “an artist makes the lie believable.” In this class, we will take the portrait through a rigorous evolution. Beginning with the shoot, which will take into consideration the manipulations that are possible in post-production, to editing the image, and finally to the fine art print. This workshop will give you an excellent re-learning of Fine Art Portraiture.
Lecture: Examples of Low Key, High Key, Ratios, Posing
Shoot: How to Shoot – allowing for post-shoot editing and interpretation
Post-Production Choices: Editing/Altering/Printing
8:30 AM - 10:00 AM
Seminar 133
The How and Why of Creating Custom Camera Profiles with Lewis Kemper
©Lewis Kemper
If you process your images with an Adobe product such as Lightroom or Photoshop then you are seeing colors the way Adobe wants you to, and not as your camera sees them. All raw file image editing with these programs start with a profile. Adobe, by default, assigns your images the Adobe Color profile. In past versions this default was Adobe Standard, but neither of these profiles sees color the way your camera sees color. If you create a custom color profile for your camera, then you will end up with the most accurate color and the best starting point for your image editing. In this lecture, Lewis will show you the differences between the “canned” profile from Adobe and a custom camera profile. He will show you how to create and implement the profile into your workflow, both in Lightroom and in Photoshop/Adobe Camera Raw.
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Streamline Your Lightroom CC Classic Develop Module Workflow with John Reuter
Lightroom Classic CC has evolved greatly over the years into a powerhouse image editor. In this workshop you will explore numerous ways to work faster and better. The tools in the Develop Module are not always so obvious in their location or in some subtle nuances that will expand your use of the Tools. For example, the panels in the Develop Module can sometimes seem to scroll endlessly off of your screen. Learn to engage Solo Mode so that only the one panel you need at the time will appear at the right of your screen and the others will reside in a list that can be opened by clicking the disclosure triangle as you need it. This can be great when working on a small screen. You will explore many other tips such as resetting one or all of your sliders in any given panel or assigning the Auto Mode to only one slider at a time. You will enhance your workflow by exploring many of the built in Presets that come with Lightroom. You will also explore the Dehaze and Calibration tools to achieve tonal and color enhancements.
