"It's weird that photographers spend years or even a whole lifetime trying
to capture moments that added together don't even amount to a couple of hours."

Featured Workshops in Santa Fe
Beginning Adobe Photoshop
wtih Rick Allred
June 8-12, 2009
This five-day introduction to the concepts, language, and tools of Photoshop
is one of our most popular workshops. Participants master the basics of navigation,
selection tools, copy and paste functions, layers and photo compositing, image
adjustment tools, and filters for interesting visual effects. Through discussion,
demonstration, and hands-on application, we explore image adjustment and retouching
techniques. We also investigate resolution as it relates to images originating
from scanners and digital cameras.
"Rick was a fantastic instructor—he was patient
and explained things very well. The class was very well organized and a lot of
fun." —Michelle
Ayers, participant in Rick's April 20-24 workshop

The
Ease of Editing: Nikon Capture NX 2 Intensive
with Janice Wendt
June 13-14, 2009
This two-day workshop explores Nikon Capture NX 2, one of the most useful image
editing platforms available today. With this program, photographers can streamline
the way they work with digital files, from selectively editing light and color,
to creating a simple method for color management. Workshop participants learn
to utilize the nondestructive editing of Capture NX 2 to adjust and enhance their
imagery, eliminating the large files often created by the multiple steps required
in traditional software. We analyze images for optimizing and retouching, set
up raw adjustments to maximize image quality and details, and practice using
the intuitive editing options and tools offered by Capture NX 2.
Also on the schedule June 21-27:
The Book Journey with
Eddie Soloway
The
Color Moment with Arthur Meyerson
Mastering
the Portrait with Karen Kuehn
Alternative
Photographic Processes with Christopher James

Workshops Around the World
The Figure in the Western Landscape
with Allen Birnbach
July 26 - August 1, 2009
The human figure has long been a favorite subject of artists in every medium,
including photography. The elements of form, gesture, line, texture, light
and shadow, and artistic intention all play vital roles in creating successful
figure studies. By placing the human figure into a unique and inspiring landscape,
we add the additional element of nature and open up countless new opportunities
for exploring these elements. Our base for the week is a spectacular 5,000-acre
ranch in Park City, Utah. The property includes large stands of aspen, streams,
rock outcroppings, and a lake.
In daily field sessions, we learn how to work with models in a professional
manner, to create an environment of trust and collaboration. Classroom time
is devoted to discussions, critiques of the previous day’s images, and
one-on-one reviews.

Brilliant Museum Paper from Calumet Photographic
Selecting a fine art paper to print your photographs on is
a personal process. Not only does the paper need to be of the
finest quality, it should also reflect the character of the
photograph and the photographer. Calumet's German-manufactured
Brilliant Museum paper comes in subtly distinct variations
to help you match your paper to your style.
Available in Natural or White base tones, Brilliant Museum
SilverGloss and Satin Matte papers are coated to convey the
subtlest textures and gradations with amazing depth. The alpha-cellulose
SilverGloss is acid-free, emulating the classic air-dried silver-halide
papers used by master black-and-white printers, while the Satin
Matte cotton rag features a radiant surface unlike most flat
matte media.
