Potash & Danielle Correia:
Encaustics and Photography
Sat-Tues, September 6-9 or Sat-Tues July 12-15
Co-hosted
with R&F Handmade Paints, this four-day hands-on workshop will provide
you with the basic working knowledge to combine photographic processes
with the encaustic medium. Encaustic, an ancient Greek wax-based medium,
can be used to give unusual dimension to your work, provide new substance
and body to a photograph, add translucent layers, alter the illusion of
space, and transform your imagery. This interdisciplinary workshop will
combine presentations, step-by-step instruction, and plenty of time to
experiment and make new work.
On
days one and two
at the Center for Photography at Woodstock we will explore creative
ways to work with photography and encaustic and see inspiring examples
including the work of Joel Peter Witkin and Doug & Mike Starn. Then we
will roll up our sleeves and prepare our images, experimenting with
various photographic processes including toning, coloring, cyanotypes,
digital prints, digital negatives, and a variety of transfer techniques. On days three and four at the encaustic studio at R&F Handmade
Paints, we will learn about the many ways to incorporate the photographic
images with the encaustic process. We will learn about the many different
effects including layering, optical effects, intensification of light and
depth in an image, and how to make imagery translucent. The class will
also cover archival techniques, methods of presentation, and basic safety.
This is a class about experimentation: leave your old ideas behind and
open the doors to new possibilities and processes! To learn more about the
encaustic process please visit the R&F website www.rfpaints.com.
DANIELLE
CORREIA is an interdisciplinary artist who received her BFA in
Photography and Sculpture from The University of Montana. She has been
working at R&F since 1999, where she discovered encaustics, and has
incorporated it into her work ever since. She has lectured at The Gay and
Lesbian Community Center in NYC and has taught encaustic classes from
Florida to Alaska. Her work has been featured in exhibitions regionally
and nationally.

Larry Fink: The Courage to Create
Sat - Sun, September 13-14
This
is a photographic workshop for practitioners who have a passion for life,
who question its meanings, and who utilize photography as a tool in the
complex and unending analysis of fact and feeling, form and thought, heart
and mind, effect and affect. In other words, this is not a workshop about
a particular approach or style of photography. It is a workshop about our
relationship to life through photography. With that in mind, the
requirements for entrance to this workshop are intensity and commitment.
Photography is and can be a miraculously rapid way to discover substance.
If substance is the motivator, then style is soon to be found.
Participants should have a developed body of work to share and excited for
a conversation that will challenge their assumptions and leave them ready
to take their work to a new level!
In
the words of Fink’s mentor, Lisette Model, "You
are the subject. Life is the object."
LARRY FINK has been working
professionally in photography for over forty years. The recipient of two
Guggenheim Fellowships and two National Endowment for the Arts grants, he
has had one man shows at the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum, the
San Francisco Museum of Art, the Musee de la Lausanne Photographie in
Belgium, and the Musee de l’Elysee in Switzerland, among others. He
shows in galleries regularly in New York, Los Angeles, and Paris. In 2002,
he received an honorary degree of Doctor of Fine Arts from the College for
Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan. Books of his work include Boxing,
Social Graces, and Runway. Social
Graces was re-released in 2001 featuring images of that time never
before published. Published by Aperture the updated version covers
Fink’s photographic forays into two worlds: the black tie set of
fashionable urban society men and women, and the Martin's Creek community,
a rural Pennsylvania working-class town in which Fink makes his home.
Fink’s photographs have appeared in top publications including Vanity
Fair, W, GQ,
Detour, The New York Times Magazine, and The New Yorker. His
commercial work includes advertising campaigns for Smirnoff, Bacardi, and
Cunard Lines (QE2). A passionate, humorous, and dedicated teacher Fink has
lead workshops at CPW for many years and has been a professor of
photography at Bard College for the past 16 years.

Keith Johnson: Finding the Social Landscape, in and around Woodstock, NY
Sat-Sun, September 20-21
The
Woodstock area is full of both natural and man-made wonders.
From the Hudson River to the Catskill Mountains, from wildlife to
industry and from the local residents to the visiting tourists; this
workshop will investigate how the natural landscape and the social
landscape collide to offer up grand photographic possibilities.
Walking
in the footprints of some of history’s greatest artists, we will
investigate our surrounding area and all the wonders that encompass it..
This workshop will encourage you to find a personal way of seeing
and interpreting a multi-layered environment. We will seek out the social
landscape that surrounds us and begin to create stories and observations
about it. Students will share their individual opinions about what
photographing the landscape means within their work. There will be
lectures, critiques and shooting trips in the surrounding area and beyond
in search of the photographic holy grail.
This is a workshop for fine art photographers, professional
photographers and experienced amateurs who want to explore the
photographic possibilities that are just outside the door.

PUBLIC LECTURE SATURDAY, 8PM
Angelika Rinnhofer: Basic Studio Lighting
Sat-Sun, September 20-21
This
two-day workshop is designed for photographers who want to find out about
the endless possibilities of artificial lighting techniques. To light a
subject is to control its representation. From the flickering torch light
of cave painters to da Vinci's light room to the use of digital flash–
artificial light sources have been essential for creating images
throughout history.
Combining
presentations on equipment and technique with plenty of hands-on shooting
experience, this class will concentrate on how to evaluate and better use
light for in-studio portraiture and any on location situations you might
encounter. This class will
also cover the technical essentials and common pitfalls of metering for
accurate exposure time, using strobe vs. tungsten lighting, operating
modeling lights and using accessories like softboxes, effect lights and
reflectors.
You will spend time
photographing with a model while Rinnhofer demonstrates how light
influences shapes and influences the subject. She will demonstrate a
portrait session with a large format camera and Polaroid back, which all
the students will have a chance to try. No prior lighting experience is
required. You’ll leave this workshop with new abilities and be able to
confidently confront a broad range of lighting situations.
ANGELIKA RINNHOFER received her education as
an artist in Nuremberg, Germany; first at the Fachoberschule für
Gestaltung, a two-year art school, and then at Foto Bischoff & Broehl,
a commercial photography studio. In
1995 she moved to the US and worked as a freelance photographer for
clients
Please
bring
your favorite camera and lots of film or memory cards / images from books
or magazines with lighting that interests you.

PUBLIC LECTURE FRIDAY, 8PM
David Hilliard: The Portrait, The Environment
Sat-Sun, September 27-28
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
