In this two- day workshop you'll find the time and Andrea's encouragement to concentrate on using photography to tell visual stories about people, events, and lives- in both literal and emotional journeys- for posterity, fantasy, and fiction. Learn how to feel comfortable while making the images of people you want to make- be it of close family members, the life of an unknown (to you) community resident, or models. Photographing people can help reveal your own stories and open you up (to fears / differences / personalities), while forging new common grounds with your subject.

Making new work in the colorful environs of Woodstock, you can picture multi- aged, creative families and explore both traditional and non- traditional photographic approaches to portraiture. Andrea will engage you in meaningful reviews of your work and goals with discussions investigating fine art and editorial work, interpretation and style, and address ethical and legal issues pertaining to the use of portraits in publications and exhibitions. This workshop is open to students at all ­levels.

ANDREA MODICA works with an 8x10" camera to slow down the process of picture making and to create intimate dramas. One of her images taught her that, until that moment, she had been photographing like a tourist. Learning to contemplate the fictitious town of Treadwell in upstate NY, she made pictures that were mysterious and portrayed the anguish of adolescence and the idea of growing up. The photographer balances sadness with empathy and brings a spiritual dimension to her work. Modica's images include photographs of a halfway house, a Catholic girls school, and a minor league baseball team. Her platinum prints turn her images into fantasies and fairy tales. Andrea's photographs have been compared to those of Diane Arbus, Julia Margaret Cameron, and her friend, Sally Mann. A graduate of Yale University, her work has been shown at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and International Center of Photography. New York Times, Elle, New Yorker, American Photo, and Vanity Fair have featured her work and she has three monographs, Treadwell, Minor League, and Human Being. The Edwynn Houk Gallery in NYC represents her work.

Please bring: 10 examples of recent personal work, camera, and lots of film.

We are honored to offer you the opportunity to spend two days with Robert Glenn Ketchum, the foremost environmental photographer, to photograph the crisp light and majesty of the Catskill Mountains in the peak of the autumn season. This class will combine lectures, discussions, and field trips in the mountains and surrounding areas to provide practical applications of ideas.

Ketchum will focus this workshop on seeing. His objective is to help you better understand light and its relation to film and to begin to study the differences between the three- dimensional world from which pictures are often taken, and the two- dimensional world where they are reproduced. Which in turn will also include better understanding composition and use of light. A principle objective is to help you feel more comfortable with your technical equipment so that it will not be a burden on your picture making process. All formats, black-and-white, color, and non- traditional imagery welcome. Drawing on the instructor's broad experience in the medium, Robert will also review your portfolio and share his expertise on exhibitions, publishing, and the pursuit of a professional career.

ROBERT GLENN KETCHUM was recognized by Audubon Magazine as one of the 100 champions of conservation who shaped the environmental movement in the 20th century, was listed by American Photo as one of the 100 most important people in photography, and named Outstanding Photographer of the Year for 2001 by the North American Nature Photography Association. The diversity of these acknowledgments reflects a unique 30- year career. Ketchum has unrelentingly dedicated his art to addressing issues of natural resource management and habitat protection and combined his work with personal activism. Author of numerous publications, his book The Tongass: Alaska's Vanishing Rain Forest has been ­credited with helping to pass the significant Tongass Timber Reform Legislation, for which he was given the United Nations Outstanding Environmental Achievement Award. His work is represented in most major museum collections in the US. Since 1968, he has had over 500 shows worldwide. This fall Aperture will release his new book, Rivers of Life: Southwest Alaska, the Last Great SalmonFishery.

Please bring: a portfolio of 10 -  20 photographs, camera, and plenty of your favorite film.

Mark Citret, a San Francisco based photographer, who has been photographing landscape and architecture (which he considers to be one and the same) for more than thirty years, will lead you on a journey of discovery. This workshop is for photographers who wish to create expressive images using light and structure and mine a rich and exhaustible vein- the world around us. For every photographer there are images lurking out in the world that only they would make. This statement is based on the belief that each of us does indeed have our own take on the universe we inhabit.

In this hands- on class you'll learn to make pictures of spaces and places that no one else would make and learn to identify and trust your own vision. Field trips- to make new pictures- will offer sites of structural richness and visual intrigue. You'll have the opportunity to view Citret's work, share your images, and gain meaningful insight on the craft necessary to express your ideas. In a world of countless images it is tricky to distill out seductive distractions and get into one's own essential way of seeing. Mark will give you a map to begin your journey and provide the guidebook so you will feel confident about trusting your eye. Participants in this class should have a good working knowledge of their cameras and understand basic exposure.

MARK CITRET, a student of the visionary Ruth Bernhard, makes his living as an architectural and fine art photographer and teaches at the Universities of California at Berkley and Santa Cruz. A teacher since 1973, Citret had the good fortune to have worked with Ansel Adams, both in the field and in the darkroom.

Dedicated to the fine art of the black- and- white print, this workshop will provide you with the technical information to create the best prints possible from any negative (which can sometimes be less than perfect)! In this two- day class you learn step- by- step instruction in fine printing with an emphasis on finding creative solutions to technical problems. Through discussions centering on your work, fine prints, and intensive darkroom work, Moreno will help you discover how to make the prints you’ve always dreamed of and focus on those negatives and prints that present challenges.

Working in a fully equipped darkroom, with an enlarger for each participant, your work will be directed toward creating final prints. You will learn about use of warm and cold toned multigrade papers, single bath developers, and the use of split filtration, burning and dodging, bleaching, and other printing techniques. Engle will show you how to make your prints archival and share toning, washing, drying, and spotting methods and include finishing details and presentation of the final print.

In this two- day hands- on workshop we will immerse ourselves in ideas and visions of the body. Representations of the body in art are as ancient as art itself, yet this topic has taken on a renewed urgency in the last few decades of identity politics, HIV-  AIDS, feminist inquiry, and the quest for beauty.

We will begin by sharing portfolios, looking at work, discussing images of the body in art and photography, and exploring historical, conceptual and aesthetic approaches to making photographs of the body. Our discussions will include nakedness versus nudity, the fragmented figure, the body as political battleground, spirituality, and desire. Filled with new ideas, pictures, and inspiration we'll spend afternoons photographing with models on location. You'll leave the workshop with a greatly enriched sense of the endless expressive possibilities of photographing the body and an informed sense of the critical discourse surrounding images of the body.
