Upcoming Full Day Workshop in New Jersey on 8/9/2008

On Saturday, August 9, 2008 from 10:00am-5:00pm, I’ll be giving a fine-art inkjet printing full day workshop entitled How to Prepare Files and Make Gallery-Quality Prints at Nancy Ori Studio in Berkeley Heights, New Jersey.

UPDATE 7/7/2008: This workshop has filled, but two more full-day workshops have been added (8/16/2008 and 8/18/2008): Please see this page for details.

Each participant in this class will have at least two prints made from their supplied photo or other image on a pigment-based inkjet printer. This has been one of the best ways I’ve found to help others choose the right paper and printer for their work. During the workshop, I’ll be showing many print samples, I will go step-by-step through a recommended printmaking workflow using Adobe Photoshop, Photoshop Lightroom, and other applications, and I will demonstrate how to make and use custom profiles.

A two-page PDF brochure with pricing and information on how to register can be found here.

If you are interested in future workshops, check my teaching and workshop schedule here, and for private consulting via phone or in-person, feel free to contact me using the form on this page, or via cell phone at 732-742-0123.

I hope to meet some Imaging Buffet readers/listeners/viewers there!

Great Article About Print Sizes on The Digital ImageMaker

I just read an excellent article about print sizes by Wayne J. Cosshall, Publisher of The Digital ImageMaker. I often think about the impact that print size has on me when I view prints on walls, in books and as digital images on monitors or projection screens. It is also interesting to me how many large prints (over 30×40 inches, for example) are currently priced in the fine art market compared with smaller prints. Even 35mm transparencies in a lightbox on a wall, framed individually in black mounts can be very striking.

In the past (until the early 20th Century), photographers were, for the most part, constrained to making prints the size of their pre-coated camera plate, or negative (via contact printing). If you’ve ever used an 8 x 10 view camera, or a Banquet Camera like the 1920’s era 7 x 17-inch Korona, the ground glass image is absolutely amazing. With enlargers and digital technologies, these cameras have become less popular and the constraints of size have largely been eliminated. This can make the decision of what size to make fine art prints (or even prints in a book) rather daunting for artists.
