Workshops

JUNE 5-8, 2008 This is the workshop you’ve been waiting for. You combine making digital negatives with platinum/palladium printing, all in the same workshop. Not only will you learn how to make digitally enlarged negatives, you’ll get to print them on hand-coated platinum/palladium paper. Four full days to fine-tune your digital negatives and darkroom skills.
Learn how to make high quality enlarged negatives without getting your hands wet.
Enter the enchanting world of hand-coated platinum/palladium printing—often described as the most beautiful of all photographic processes.
Experiment with different types of negatives, different papers and different developers.
You will work with your own images on the computer, taking them from virgin captures or scans to completed platinum/palladium prints. Special hands-on tutorials will teach you how to build your digital images quickly and precisely.
Between printing sessions you’ll dive into the meat and potatoes of digital photography, learning powerful digital techniques that let you control the composition, color and tonality of your final images.
Desktop color comes alive too as Dan covers his inventive pigment-over-platinum techniques for combining the hand-coated platinum print with digitally applied, archival color pigments.
A much-needed field trip will give you the chance to make new images in the enchanting Catskill mountains.
If you cherish the handmade print but want to exploit the control of digital imaging, this is the workshop for you!
Students should have a basic familiarity with Photoshop.
