Platinum Palladium Printing
Sat & Sun August 27th & 28th 9am-5pm
Class size: 7
This 2 day workshop will teach the basics of platinum palladium printing including negative and paper selection, coating techniques, contrast control among others. Participants will use their own negatives, coat their own paper and take away at least one finished print and the knowledge to make more on their own.

WORKSHOPS TAUGHT IN MY STUDIO

Being a photographer who works primarily in "Black and White", I gear these workshops for photographers who want to refine their skills in this area. All of these workshops will deal with how the importance of film selection, development and printing relate to the subject matter and the final print. All are very much "hands on".

You may choose to concentrate on one topic or mix them up. Each topic has a 1 day minimum and the printing workshops have a 2 day minimum. Prices depend on the size and duration of the class.

I will be conducting workshops in my studio during the first week of each month.
For information on prices and availability please send me an e-mail.

SHOOTING:

PORTRAITURE

We will work in my studio and / or on location using different forms of natural and studio lighting. The focus of this workshop will be to help you focus on capturing an evocative portrait.

LANDSCAPE

Explore New Mexico. The land here is famous for its attraction to photographers. We will travel to well known and / or unknown parts of the state. We will explore different camera techniques and compositional ideas as well as how to deal with different lighting situations. We will also address the importance of exposure and development techniques.

STILL LIFE

We will work in my studio using different lighting techniques, backgrounds and textures. We will explore different compositional ideas as well as the importance of lighting techniques.

PRINTING:

These workshops can be used in conjunction with a shooting workshop or you can use your existing work.

SILVER GELATIN

This workshop will cover how to print an exhibition grade photograph, the different kinds of paper and why and when to use them.We will cover printing techniques including contrast control, masking, bleaching, toning, spotting and archival standards. We will address how to handle the fine print including proper storage and presentation.

INTRODUCTION TO ALTERNATIVE PROCESSES.

This workshop covers the basics of "alternative processes". We will look at different types of prints talk about how they are made and then make some ourselves. "Alternative Process" photography mainly refers to hand coated antique processes. Examples are cyanotype, van dyke, platinum palladium, albumen, carbon, gum bichromate, just to name a few. This is for photographers who want to get involved in alternative processes but do not know where to start. We will cover the importance of enlarged negatives and large format photography and digitally enlarged negatives. A more focused version of this workshop is available to photographers who have either already taken the introduction workshop or who already know what kind of prints they want to concentrate on.

PLATINUM PALLADIUM

This is for photographers who either have some experience and know that they want to focus on platinum palladium or have already taken the introduction to alternative processes workshop. This workshop is very hands on. We will address all the same issues as the introduction workshop but more in depth and only in relation to how they apply to platinum palladium.
