"I love the medium of photography, for with its unique realism it gives
me the power to go beyond conventional ways of seeing and understanding and say,
‘This is real, too.’"

» Another incredible gift idea for the
person who has everything is the Ernst Haas Creation Portfolio.
Ernst Haas has been called "the father of color
photography." In the 1950s Ernst began working with Kodachrome
films to create color compositions and a color palette that served
to define fine-art color photography. Ernst died in 1986 leaving
a legacy of poetic images
to inspire future generations of photographers.
In 1981, Daniel Wolf Press published
Ernst's first portfolio called "The Creation." Eleanor Morris
Caponigro of Santa Fe designed the project. All prints were made using the dye-transfer
process, an extremely permanent and beautiful printing technique. Ten images
were included and three hundred portfolios were made. Today, a handful of portfolios
remain on the market. The portfolio sells for $12,000 (USD). Through a special
arrangement, we are able to offer friends of the Santa Fe Workshops a discount
off this price. Workshop friends can purchase the portfolio for $10,500
(USD).

text to images, and much more.
Through demonstrations and hands-on practice, participants will quickly gain
the skills necessary to handle their most challenging imagery needs. Evening
lab hours are available to continue practicing new skills and techniques or create
