David Hilliard: The Portrait, The Environment Sat-Sun, October 13-14

This workshop is designed for photographers who want to examine and explore the photographic portrait and the spaces in which they occur. During this two-day hands-on class, Hilliard will encourage participants to question and challenge the very definition of the portrait and how it is made and functions. Emphasis will be placed on how the figure relates and perhaps changes in direct relation to the space in which it exists, as often times the setting in which a portrait is made tells us more than we might imagine. 

This class will combine portfolio review, on location shooting with a local family, and a presentation of important photographers working within this genre. Throughout the weekend, Hilliard will encourage you to create imagery that is both conceptually sound and formally resolved. You will learn to question old habits and begin to work in a manner that is new and challenging. The element of change and surprise should never be underestimated! We will edit and sequence work in order to create a flow of images which best describes a person and their relationship to their setting.

DAVID HILLIARD creates multi-paneled color photographs, often based on his life or the lives of people around him. His panoramas allow the artist to direct the viewer’s gaze across the image surface letting narrative and time unfold. David received his BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art in 1992 and his MFA from Yale University in 1994. He worked for many years as an assistant professor at Yale University where he also directed the undergraduate photo department. Additionally he taught at Harvard University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. He’s currently an assistant professor in Boston at the Massachusetts College of Art. Hilliard exhibits his photographs both nationally and internationally and has won numerous awards including a Fulbright Fellowship and a Guggenheim Fellowship. The Yancey Richardson Gallery in NY, Bernard Toale Gallery in Boston, Jackson Fine Art in Atlanta, Mark Moore Gallery in Santa Monica, and LA Galerie in Frankfurt represent his work. In 2005 a collection of his photographs was published in a monograph by Aperture. For more information please visit www.davidhilliard.com

David Sparer: Color Management TBA

Do you want to confidently understand the relationship between what you see on your computer monitor and what comes out of your printer? In this two-day hands on workshop you will receive step by step instruction that will enhance your mastery of color management! 

It doesn’t matter whether you print your own images or have them printed for you, Sparer will explain techniques necessary for both shooting and printing, focusing on how to decide which color space to use based upon final use, perform monitor and projector calibration, proper workflow practices, and custom printer profiling.  Upon completion of this seminar you will have a better operational knowledge of color management that will allow you to proof prints on your computer, soft proof images for both RGB and CMYK printing, and make beautiful prints without test prints! Participants will need a working knowledge of Adobe Photoshop 7 or above as well as basic computer operation skills.
