This one-day workshop explores the possibilities of iPhonography . The iPhone has become one of the most ubiquitous , innovative and playful photographic tools in our daily experience , but this powerful device is capable of so much more . With the ever-widening array of creative applications and an emerging practice of photographic interventions , the iPhone has also become a uniquely powerful and selfcontained editing tool . We explore how to make the most of your camera ’ s settings and introduce some of the latest as well as the more established applications to render the full and breathtaking potential of our images .
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES : Students use iPhones and select camera apps to capture , edit and catalog images .
ACTIVITIES : We learn through demonstrations of emerging applications for the iPhone and spend the day using our iPhones to capture and edit images .

CONCEPT : Adventure beyond the postcard in this travel photography workshop that focuses on capturing the essence of a place and its people , combining a love of travel with advancing your photography practice . Through a combination of classroom lectures , feedback sessions and on-location photo shoots , students delve into the Aspen area with fresh eyes , whether you are a local or it ’ s your first time to the area . We cover the practical planning side of travel photography and discover why serendipity and the willingness to open yourself to new encounters can make the difference in your images and your travel experience .
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES : Students work with digital slr or mirrorless cameras along with a variety of lenses with which they are most familiar . Bringing a tripod is encouraged for low-light and landscape scenes . Students should have a working knowledge of Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Bridge and Photoshop to select and post-process images .
ACTIVITIES : In addition to time spent in the classroom , we explore Aspen and the surrounding areas as a group to make images that show a sense of place . Each outing is designed to touch on different aspects of travel photography , from landscapes and scenics to culture and people . We discuss the different equipment needed for each location and work to understand our equipment so that the technical becomes second nature . While in the field , students have access to the instructor for immediate feedback in improving your travel images .

CONCEPT : Challenge conventional image capture and expand your skill set with innovative new techniques in this exciting workshop . Obtain direct hands-on experience with a wide range of unusual devices for acquiring information about the world , including panoramic and hyperspectral imagers , depth sensors , 3-D scanners , photogrammetry , motion capture systems such as face-trackers , hand-trackers and eye-trackers , binaural audio , and more . Through these explorations , we seek the visual cues of exotic , forgotten and nascent image capture technologies .
MEDIA & TECHNIQUES : Students obtain direct handson experience with a wide range of unusual devices for acquiring information about the world , including : thermal ( FLIR ), infrared and ultraviolet cameras ; depth sensors ( Kinect ); high-resolution light field cameras ( Lytro ); LI- DAR sensors and a variety of 3D scanners , panoramic and 360-degree imagers ; timelapse video and ultra high-speed videography ; practical photogrammetry with DepthKit , Skanect , Agisoft Photoscan , and iSense software ; and motion capture systems for the face , hands , eyes and body with tools like Brekel , Leap , EyeTribe and Kinect .
ACTIVITIES : We capture a wide range of people , places , things , gestures and events , with an eye toward how the above tools can be used to create new forms of portraiture , narratives and interactive environments .
