Craig J. Barber: Palladium Printing Discount Applies
Have you ever been frustrated because your silver or digital prints weren’t able to deliver all the information your negatives offered? Palladium printing, a time-honored process and the print method choice of Paul Strand, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Steichen, and Frederick Evans, is known for its rich tonal scale, sensuality, and permanence. Master printer Craig J. Barber offers you a great opportunity to spend a weekend being introduced to this extraordinary hand-coated printing technique.
In this hands-on, two day workshop you will learn how to make palladium prints working from your own pre-existing black-and-white negatives from traditional film or made digitally! Barber will carefully lead you through a combination of demonstrations, discussions, and applications. You will learn about paper selection, contrast and controls, dodging and burning, developer variations, and chemical safety. This workshop is for photographers who have a sound foundation in black-and-white printing and want two days of hands-on instruction to learn a new process with ample printing time and support from Craig. Come prepared to work and have fun!

Structured within an all women learning environment,
this class will provide an opportunity to
deeply explore the realms of the female psyche
and how it relates to the female form and within
photography. This class will seek to look beyond
the obvious and often damaging images of women
in fashion and media, developing our skills as
photographers to take a more meaningful look into
the lives of women. Through class discussion,
critique, and studying female photographers of the past, we will explore the intention of each individual photographer, providing a forum to learn new tools and techniques to better realize our photographic goals and personal voices. Students will be given instruction on how to work with models and ample time to shoot one-on-one in both documentary style and portrait format.

Antiquarian Photographic Processes Discount Applies
Did you ever wonder how photographs were commonly
made in the 19th century? Are you interested
in getting your hands dirty while making an image?
Tired of everything “digital”? In this 3-day introductory
workshop, teens will learn the history and fundamentals
of antiquarian photographic processes.
We will begin with the Cyanotype, a non-silver iron process that produces unique, blue-toned prints. Then we will transition to Vandyke printing, a process that produces a deep brown image. Lastly, using sodium chloride, or more commonly salt, you will study the first process that allowed for the reproduction of positive prints in the history of photography. Each of these historic processes involves creating a light sensitive emulsion that is applied to paper, then contact printed with the sun or a UV light source. In addition to printing, this class will explore chemistry preparation, procedures for hand coating, and paper options.
By the end of the workshop, you will leave with a
basic knowledge of these three historic processes,
which can all safely and easily be practiced at home.

In this workshop photographers will examine the
growing role of DSLR video in contemporary photography
and how it can enhance their own pursuits.
Students will learn the benefits of incorporating
motion and other types of multimedia into their
work and explore its possibilities as a means of telling
compelling stories. Focus will be given not only
to uses of video to compliment still imagebased
projects, but also to less-traditional uses for
photographers, including installation pieces, public
performances, web-only pieces, short & featurelength
films, and more.
Led by award-winning photographer/filmmaker Dave Anderson, we will explore methods and examples of effective pieces by photographers and other motion based artists who have successfully utilized multimedia production in new and enterprising ways. Participants will receive hands-on instruction and feedback on shooting video and making audio recordings, researching and preparing stories, documentary interview techniques, and effective multitasking for small crew or solo shoots. The class will include an overview of the equipment and editing applications available, detailed in handouts, as well as tips to help you market your services. Participants should expect to spend some time in the field shooting material.
A multi-talented image-maker, Dave Anderson’s work as both a photographer and filmmaker has been celebrated in the United States and abroad. Dave’s project Rough Beauty was the winner of the 2005 National Project Competition from the Santa Fe Center for Photography and became the focus of his first book, which was published in three languages with an essay by Anne Wilkes Tucker. His latest monograph, One Block: A New Orleans Neighborhood Rebuilds, was published in 2010 by Aperture Books. Dave’s unique talents extend not only to still photography but also into the realms of television production and the written word. A former MTV producer and director of television production in the Clinton White House, Dave’s video work has also been singled out for recognition. His new video series “SoLost,” created for the Oxford American magazine, recently won Best Video Series at the 2011 National Magazine Awards and he is now producing a sister series with the Oxford American and NPR, entitled “Southword.” www.dbanderson.com

While the nature of editorial and commercial assignments has changed, the use of stock imagery continues to grow. During this two-day intensive David H. Wells, who has worked with almost every kind of stock agency imaginable from editorial to
commercial, American to overseas, will share his extensive knowledge of the business of stock photography, from image capture, to archiving, to agency submissions. Through discussion, shooting assignments, and critiques with a strong emphasis on editing, David will detail how to access, evaluate and fit your work into different markets. Strategies and best practices for digital workflow will be
discussed to help get the most out of your time and business.
Students will leave this workshop with a better understanding of which images are harder for users to find and thus license for higher fees as well as the confidence to take advantage of the opportunities within the stock industry. This class is open to photographers at all levels.

Just as there are superheroes in the movies and
literature, everyday heroes live among us in the
real world. Who are they really? And what makes
them tick? In this five-day multimedia workshop
for teens, we will combine video, photography,
social media, vlogs and blogs in the quest to tell
a story about our local hero(ine)s.
Working in teams, we will take to the streets with
cameras in hand. Participants will collaborate on
producing video and photographic portraits of
everyday hero(ine)s, illuminating a previously
hidden story of can-do inspiration. In the process,
you will learn effective video interview techniques,
photo portraiture, basic video editing, storytelling,
and how to publish your work online through
Tumblr or Wordpress, tapping social media for
expanded broadcast and publication.

Join Joseph Rodriguez for an in-depth look at the
narrative photo essay. The narrative, seen as a single
image or in concert with a series of photographs,
has the potential to express perceptive ideas about
the human experience. Through discussion and
constructive group critique, Joseph will assist you
with editing and exploring how the visual essay is
also a reflection of the photographer’s self as well
as their subject. This course will provide students
with the framework needed to define their social
landscape whether working in a different culture or
in your own backyard. We will also address concerns
that get to the heart of place, a moment, a person, and
a situation, focusing on how to take your individual
documentary project to the next level.

Public Lecture:
Are you excited about making photographs? Do
you want to explore your talents while engaging
with other young artists? This Camp provides a
unique, creative and supportive learning
environment for teenagers ages 13 through
17. Over the course of four inspiring and
motivating days, you will learn about the aesthetics
and technical capabilities of digital photography.
Based in CPW’s state-of-the art digital lab, the Camp
is made up of two components - the exploration
of the art of photography and the development of
technical skills used within a digital darkroom.
By getting behind the lens and photographing in
Woodstock, you will develop a thorough understanding
of photographic techniques including the
qualities of light and shadow, a sense of motion,
and an examination of the relationship of subject
to the camera. Students will learn about more
advanced lighting techniques using hot shoe flashes
and light modifiers creating studio like images.
In the digital lab you will gain an understanding
of the digital workflow, file organization, inkjet
printing, and Adobe Photoshop. You will be introduced
to Photoshop as a creative tool as well as
for its abilities for image editing, enhancement,
and manipulation.
Camp will culminate with an exhibition/critique
of students’ work in CPW’s gallery on the final
evening.

The nude has been used by artists to explore the
surreal and the natural, as well as our spiritual
and psychological lives. In this workshop you
will be encouraged to look at the human form in
a way that is new to you and explore its beauty,
complexity, and simplicity. Whether you
regularly photograph the nude, are new to the
figure, or feel stuck and just need a push getting
back into photography, this class will deliver a
burst of energy, new methods, direction, and
clarity.
During our time together, everyone’s work will be reviewed to help assess strengths as well as areas that might need attention. Specific assignments will be given each day and afternoons will be spent photographing on-location with both male and female models. Whether you shoot film or digital, each participant will have the opportunity to shoot digital images the first day for in-class feedback. Throughout the rest of the shoots participants are welcome to shoot either film or digital. Process will be emphasized over product and experimentation will be encouraged.
The only prerequisite for this class is that you should be comfortable working with your camera.
