Just getting started? Ready to go beyond snapshots?
In this two-day hands-on individualized workshop
— limited to just seven participants — you will
learn the basic foundations of digital photography
and how to make a successful picture within
a supportive environment. Joan will begin with
helping you understand and feel comfortable with
your digital camera.
You will see inspiring examples of successful photographs and learn about the elements that help make a good picture including subject matter, light, texture, pattern, and mood. Joan will also conduct lessons on aperture, shutter speed, exposure, depth of field, lighting, white balance, and composition. Lenses and their characteristics, uploading files, image size, resolution, and image adjustments will also be included. We will explore the technical and aesthetic possibilities of picture taking while on a photographic field trip.
No previous experience necessary. For those with
a film background, this class will allow you to
better understand the photographic principles
relative to both film & digital.
JOAN BARKER pushes limits and employs both traditional and experimental methods in her
photography. She has taught at SUNY New Paltz for over ten years. Joan is
the recipient of a NYFA Fellowship, The
Village Voice Photography Grant and two CPW Fellowships. Her
photographs have been featured nationally in one-person shows, including

London and Carrie Haddad Gallery, Hudson, NY, amongst others. www.jbarkerimages.com
