Phil Mansfield: Hot Shoe Flash
Friday, June 3
By exploring
various TTL methods including bounce, on-camera TTL flash, and off-camera
lighting with manual settings you will learn how hot shoe flashes modify
ambient light to create mood and message.
We will look at settings many shooters ignore in their flashes such
as slow sync, high speed sync, first and rear curtain syncing, and
stroboscopic flash for mixed creative effects.
Various light modifiers such as gels for color balancing, snoots,
umbrellas, and diffusers adapted on the fly will be discussed. In addition
Phil will demonstrate multiple speedlight set ups.

Fawn Potash & Danielle Correia: Encaustics & Photographic Processes
Sat-Tues, June 11-14
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.
Days one and two will be spent at CPW,
exploring creative ways to combine photography and encaustic. We will
prepare our images with various photographic processes including coloring,
cyanotypes, digital prints, and more.
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.
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

Elinor Carucci: Personal Narrative
Sat-Sun, June 18-19
How
do we photograph our private lives? How do we picture the personal? This
two-day intensive workshop is designed for those interested in using
photography in a diaristic fashion to explore your personal vision of your
life, what you are most close to, and what you want to get close to with
your camera. Whether you are currently making portraits, creative dramas,
documentary, editorial, or even fashion – this is a class about making
art from inside your life and creating work that is intimate and personal.
Combining
in-depth discussions, portfolio review, assignments, and presentations,
this class will examine the practical, stylistic, technical, emotional,
and moral issues surrounding personal narrative, as well as the delicate
boundaries inherent in creating honest and intimate photographs of family,
friends, and self. Elinor will also share how to bridge personal
creative work with professional assignments. You will leave this weekend
with new directions, confidence, and above all encouragement to follow
your instincts and passions to strengthen your vision and voice.

Dan Burkholder: The Art of the High Dynamic Range (HDR) Image
Sat-Sun, June 18-19
High
Dynamic Range imaging (HDR) is the most exciting development in
photography since the zoom lens. Dark interiors with bright, sunlit
windows are no longer a challenge. By employing special shooting methods
combined with powerful software tools we can produce final prints with
lush shadow detail and gloriously detailed highlights.
But
making a beautiful print from an HDR image is more than bracketing and
using software. In this workshop you’ll learn not only how to shoot and
process your HDR images, but how to precisely control the full range
colors and contrast in your images.
-
Learn camera techniques and accessories that make exposing for HDR fast, foolproof and easy.
-
Discover easy, recipe-like procedures for capturing high contrast scenes.
-
Delve into the brave new world of 32-bit images.
-
Learn the right and wrong ways to process your HDR images.
-
Learn how to use the parts of Color Management you need to make prints that look just like your monitor. Banish printing surprises once and for all!
-
Develop new selection and masking skills that let you create seductive color and detail in your HDR images.
DAN BURKHOLDER has been teaching digital imaging workshops for 15 years at venues including The School of the Art Institute, Chicago; The International Center of Photography, New York; Santa Fe Workshops; Anderson Ranch and many others. His award-winning book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing, is a standard resource in the fine-art photography community. His book, The Color of Loss; An Intimate Portrait of New Orleans after Katrina (2008), documents the flooded interiors of post-Katrina New Orleans and is the first published monograph of HDR images. Dan’s workshops are famous for their energy, information, and humor.
Prerequisite: Some Photoshop knowledge is required for this class.
Please
bring:
Your digital SLR camera that is capable of shooting Raw format (CPW has
cameras available for loan). A solid tripod and remote release are also
necessary. Don’t forget memory cards and spare batteries. A wide-angle
lens is strongly recommended. Bring a notebook and lots of
enthusiasm.

Elizabeth Opalenik: The Sensual Image
Sat-Sun, June 25-26
Spend
a weekend with Elizabeth Opalenik creating sensual images as you explore
the light embracing the figure in the mountain landscape of
Woodstock. In this workshop you will focus on ways to convey inner
feelings metaphorically and make more emotive photographs that poetically
capture your subject.
In this figure workshop, we will experiment with fabrics, styling,
movement, lighting, and infrared (film or digital). While examining
romanticism in photography, we’ll explore naked versus nude and sensual without sexual. Elizabeth will review portfolios and work with
you on location shooting and sharing ideas, guiding you to learn new ways
to make your images convey what
you feel and to create new, intimate, and honest portraits.

images by mixing digital and traditional methods. Elizabeth is a
