Casey Reas, Guilty Party Haley Samuelson, Untitled (detail) July 8 — 12 II Capture to Print Haley Jane Samuelson III CONCEPT Learn how to handle digital images after the photograph has been captured. Designed for those who have a basic working knowledge of digital photography, this workshop is packed with information, lectures and demonstrations that cover many aspects of software, cameras and printers. Topics include digital workflow, proper use of the histogram, the pros and cons of working with RAW files, the many useful features of Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop, how to make contact sheets and more. Participants must bring an external hard drive containing raw photographic files to work with. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students use digital cameras, employ a digital workflow with Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop, and learn digital printmaking techniques. ACTIVITIES Students receive in-class lectures and demonstrations, hands-on guidance and the opportunity to review digital workflow using their own catalog of images. Students use the digital workflow to create digital prints during the week. Studio activities are complemented by short field trips to create new images. FACULTY Haley Jane Samuelson has taught courses at The City University of New York, Metropolitan State University and the University of Denver. Her work has been shown at art fairs across the globe, including Photo LA, Photo Miami and Art Basel. Her work has been published in several international magazines, including Zoom Magazine, Oxford American Photo France, and Korea Photo+, among others. www.haleyjsamuelson.com Richard Renaldi, Johnathan & Beatrice July 15 — 19 II July 15 — 19 II Blow Up: exploration & discovery III The Engaging Portrait III Casey Reas Richard Renaldi CONCEPT CONCEPT This is a workshop for visual exploration and discovery. What can be done in one week with access to a chemical darkroom, digital printers and scanners, software and custom code, and a huge 4K screen? How can students explore and create hybrids with analog photographic technologies and the latest digital tools and platforms? Participants work with early photography techniques like cyanotypes and photograms, test different methods for scanning and capturing the world, explore code to modify and generate images, and test different printing techniques from high-resolution pigment prints to silkscreens. All code is created in Processing (www. processing.org). MEDIA & TECHNIQUES The aim is to explore and invent new ways of working with media. As a group, students test, experiment and share. Code examples are provided and can be modified slightly or extended heavily depending on each person’s experience level. The end results are different for everyone and may include software, analog photographs or digital prints. Students are strongly encouraged to move between media to develop unique and personal techniques. ACTIVITIES This is structured as an open studio. A series of workshops punctuates each day. Students review darkroom techniques for photograms, high-resolution scanning and printing, basic silkscreening and plenty of code to generate and manipulate images. FACULTY Casey Reas is an artist and educator. He has a studio in Los Angeles and is a professor at the University of California, Los Angeles in the Department of Design Media Arts. With Ben Fry, Casey co-founded Processing in 2001. This workshop focuses on environmental portraiture and the creation of photographic portraits primarily of, but not limited to, strangers. Students learn the construction and aesthetics of what makes an engaging portrait, including background, lighting, directing and casting. The figure/ ground relationship is also explored as well as the use of creative perspectives and the decisive acuity required for spontaneous portraiture. Students gain a technical and conceptual fluency to apply within their own practice. MEDIA & TECHNIQUES Students use digital photography, digital printmaking, and digital workflow with Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop. ACTIVITIES The workshop begins with a review of students’ portfolios, during which each student receives personalized feedback and exercises for improvement. Students are encouraged to break through the boundaries between themselves and their subjects as they work throughout the week. Portraits are made in the field, edited, sequenced and finished with a final review on the last day of the workshop. FACULTY Richard Renaldi’s photographs have been mounted in galleries and museums throughout the United States, Asia and Europe. He is represented by Benrubi Gallery in New York and Robert Morat Galerie in Berlin. Richard’s most recent monograph, Touching Strangers, was released by the Aperture Foundation in 2014. In 2015, he was named a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellow in Photography. www.renaldi.com www.caesuras.net | www.reas.com TUITION $985 TUITION $1,155 TUITION + STUDIO SUPPORT DONATION $1,185 TUITION + STUDIO SUPPORT DONATION $1,355 TUITION + STUDIO SUPPORT DONATION $1,355 REGISTRATION FEE $45 | STUDIO FEE $100 REGISTRATION FEE $45 | STUDIO FEE $100 REGISTRATION FEE $45 | STUDIO FEE $100 CODE P0613-19 ENROLLMENT LIMIT 12 CODE P0714-19 ENROLLMENT LIMIT 11 CODE P0715-19 ENROLLMENT LIMIT 12 24 | andersonranch.org TUITION $1,155 | 970/923-3181 [email protected] |
