Dennis O'Clair: Intro to DSLR Video Saturday - Sunday, March 2 - 3

October Snow from Dennis O'Clair on Vimeo.

Media savvy photographers know they need to adapt quickly to meet the increasing demand for video content. If you are a photographer with experience in digital photography and workflow, then you already have many of the skills necessary to join the video revolution.

Simplicity and adaptation will be the overall themes of this Intro to DSLR Video class. Through demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on exercises you will learn the technical aspects of video capture, including camera set up, frame rates, picture profiles and white balance. Exercises in metering, focusing, exposure techniques, camera movement and lighting will take place. Audio will also be discussed and demonstrated, including dual system audio and syncing in post-production. Workflow, file management, and editing options will also be demonstrated. Students are encouraged to bring their own camera and gear, although equipment is not required. CPW has a number of Canon 5D Mark IIs and 7Ds for students to utilize. This workshop will provide you with a solid technical foundation and the creative inspiration you need to start producing professional video right away.

DENNIS O'CLAIR has been providing imagery for advertising, corporate and editorial clients around the world for over 25 years.  He also produces stock photography and stock footage for Corbis, Cultura and Getty Images.  Since the introduction of the Canon 5DMkII, Dennis has thoroughly embraced the HD video capability of this camera and has concentrated on perfecting his video and film making skills.  He has a simple approach and a DIY attitude that is perfect for creating high quality video in a budget conscious environment.  Dennis is active in education and activism in the photographic community.  Some of his affiliations have included: VP and treasurer of SAA (Stock Artists Alliance), member of PAG (Photographer’s Advisory Group) Getty Images, ASMP member, APA member, CPW member, CPW Salon member.  To learn more, go to Dennis' website www.dennisoclair.com and http://vimeo.com/dennisoclair

Alice Sachs Zimet: Collecting Photography 101: Beginner Basics Thursdays, March 14, April 18, and May 9, 6-8:30 PM

In this three session, non-stop, fact-filled “bootcamp”, you will gain a bird’s eye view of the photography marketplace. Through classroom discussion, assignments, and group visits to Chelsea galleries who deal with contemporary and emerging photography, you will pick up abundant tips, tools, and strategies to begin to collect photography. These include reference lists, a glossary and much more. Our final session together will be spent at Alice’s home, over a light supper, looking at her collection, discussing the ‘looking assignment’, and getting an advanced viewing of CPW’s 2013 Patron Print offerings. Several dealers and other special guests will also join us.

Topics covered over the three sessions include:
• Issues to consider before spending a penny
• Where to buy: commercial and non-profit resources
• Pricing – what is fair?
• Gallery vs. auction house: What’s better?
• Dealing with galleries and art fairs
• Buying at auction
• Smart questions to ask before you buy
• How to look at markings (stamps, signatures, editions)
• Administrative chores (caring for your work)

You’re sure to walk away with a greater understanding of the photography marketplace and the tools to become a thoughtful collector.
