Two Fine-Art Printing Workshops Added: August 16 and 18, 2008

On Saturday, August 16, 2008 and Monday, August 18, 2008 from 10:00AM-5:00PM, I’ll be giving two separate fine-art inkjet printing workshops entitled: How to Prepare Files and Make Gallery-Quality Prints at Nancy Ori Studio in Berkeley Heights, NJ.

Three of the same full-day workshops have already filled, but as of today (7/8/2008), some space remains for these two. For a full description of these workshops, I’ve created a two page brochure with a full overview of the classes. You can download them below:

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!

Digital Food Photography Workshop with Lou Manna: June 22, 2008

On Sunday, June 22, 2008, Lou Manna, food photographer and author of the book Digital Food Photography, is offering a full-day class entitled: Digital Food Photography: Creating Delectable Images.

A few months ago, I had an opportunity to take a very similar full-day workshop at the same location (Lou Manna’s studio), and it was fantastic. Lou shares so many secrets of how to get great images of food, in a no-nonsense, easy to understand way. The huge Sony Flatscreen TV he uses to show and describe the lighting behind so much of his work, really makes it an interactive experience.

By the way, the gourmet Italian lunch, made by a chef in his studio for the class, was fantastic. We essentially learned by photographing the leftovers! There were many different props (plates, cloth napkins, product boxes, etc) that allowed everyone to create a unique image.

If you are interested in learning how to take photographs of food, I would highly recommend this class. The lighting instruction will also be of use for anyone who wants to learn more about still life photography. I know that Lou Manna generally offers this course a few times each year, so if you’d like to keep updated, I recommend signing up for e-mail updates on the left side of Adorama’s site.

The registration deadline for this Workshop is June 15, 2008. For more information or to register, visit this page.
