Quote
of the Month
"Getting photographs is not the most important thing. For me it’s the act of photographing. It’s enlightening, therapeutic and satisfying, because the very process forces me to connect with the world. When you make four-hour exposures in the middle of the night, you inevitably slow down and begin to observe and appreciate more what’s going on around you. In our fast-paced, modern world, it’s a luxury to be able to watch the stars move across the sky."
-Michael Kenna

Visual Storytelling with Audio
with Bob Sacha
June 17-23
Storytelling is changing, thanks to the digital revolution. This great new offering
from photographer Bob Sacha, introduces photographers to the new age of storytelling
for the Web. In this workshop, participants learn how to add music, voices, interviews,
narration, and ambient sounds to images. Combined artfully, pictures and sound
together are many times more powerful than either is alone.

Photoshop for Black and White: From Capture to Print
with Jean Miele
June 24-30
Forget "convert to grayscale." Black and white is all
about mastering the interpretation of your original images, whether
they begin as color or black and white, film or digital. Through
step-by-step demonstrations of Photoshop techniques developed
specifically for black and white, we learn how to control contrast
and perform expert "burning and dodging." Participants
leave with an arsenal of new Photoshop techniques and a new understanding
of digital printmaking options that can facilitate the creation
of beautiful black-and-white images and prints.

Other available digital lab workshops in July include Mastering
Digital Printmaking, Beginning
Photoshop and Lightroom for Photographers,

Guelaguetza—Dance
of the Gods: Oaxaca, Mexico
with Raul Touzon
July 21-28
Join Raul Touzon and award-winning Mexican photographer Marcela Taboada, a long-time
resident of Oaxaca, for this incredible photographic opportunity. Guelaguetza—a
Zapotec word signifying “offering”—was the term used for the
annual ceremony and celebration by which the pre-Hispanic inhabitants of Oaxaca
thanked the gods for sufficient rain and a bountiful harvest. During this workshop
week, participants will witness the Guelaguetza celebration in the village of
San Antonino, one of the few remaining places where the event is celebrated in
the traditional way, where we have access to photograph the dancers and the event.
Other excursions include Monte Alban, Teotitlan del Valle, and Mitla.
Each day we review the previous day’s images. Our week also includes discussions
and demonstrations of digital camera settings, accurate metering and exposure,
the rules of composition, and creative uses of light. Other topics explored in
this digital photography workshop are editing, sequencing, story development,
and the key tools in Photoshop and Bridge for the development of an efficient
digital workflow.
The Oaxacan Tourism Board is pleased to announce that the
City of Oaxaca, Mexico and Central Valleys have returned to normal
activity. Hotels, restaurants, and other services have reopened
their doors and look forward to visitors returning to their beautiful
and secure city.
For complete details and additional photos, please visit
Raul's Web site. To register for this workshop, call the
Santa Fe Workshops at (505) 983-1400.

Location Photography and Lighting in Milan, Italy
with Joe McNally and Jerry Courvosier
September 30-October 5
Join location lighting master Joe McNally and digital
workflow guru Jerry Courvoisier this fall for a memorable workshop
in Milan, Italy. With Joe’s guidance, we explore the use
of natural and artificial light, reflectors, strobes, and tungsten
to light interiors, exteriors, large and small spaces, street
scenes, and people in a wide range of situations and locales.
Jerry leads the digital workflow component of the workshop, sharing his knowledge
of how to organize, develop, and process images with maximum efficiency.
Milan, recognized as contemporary Europe’s fashion and design center, is
the ideal place to experience Italy at its most cosmopolitan and stylish. With
an enthralling mix of old and new, the city provides stunning backdrops for daily
location lighting sessions.
