Coming to Focus
Los Angeles Center of Photography
Effective photographs are instantaneous and intuitive, but building a body of work requires thought and preparation. In this workshop we will focus on building concrete strategies towards developing your ideas, deepening themes, and establishing an ongoing visual dialogue with your subject. How do you identify those elements that make your vision unique and channel them into a cogent body of work? How do you filter out the extraneous to get to...

Digital Infrared
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 1515 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, CA
Infrared photography is a way of creating images using the invisible infrared light that strikes your subject. Long-time infrared experimenter Nevada Wier calls it “invisible poetry,” because in the process of studying this technique, you move beyond your usual methods of photographing and discover a new way of seeing the world. Infrared is not only ideal for creating unusual, surreal landscapes, but it’s also startling for portrait and still...

Not only will we continue to shoot on the streets, but we will also shoot specific events such as the Day of the Dead festivities on Olvera Street and at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery Chinese New Year, the May Day Parade, and/or the Gay Pride Parade.

Creating Stunning Black and White Imagery
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 1515 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, CA
For most of us the love affair with the black and white image started with a film captured and silver printed image. The goal, today, is to take that which we fell in love with of film photography and apply it to digital photography. Where the once impossible in the analog world becomes merely an opinion in the digital world. In this workshop, Vincent Workshop will apply his techniques based upon his best-selling book, From Oz to Kansas: Almost...
Finding Your Visual Voice
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 1515 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, CA
This is a workshop about the emotional and sub-conscious content of photos and how to make photos that come from that place, helping you to truly define your own voice as a photographer. It is not a workshop about making “good” photos. It’s about setting aside technical know-how (and the obstacles that often come with that) and accessing intuitive, reflective ways of working that will lead you to make photos that only you can make. Rather...
Finding Intimacy: A Personal Approach
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 1515 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, CA
This workshop is about bringing intimacy and a personal approach to any subject you wish to photograph. Whether you are currently making portraits, creative dramas, documentary, editorial, or even fashion – this is a class about making art from inside your life and creating work that is intimate and personal. On Friday night, Elinor Carucci will introduce her own approach to storytelling in both her personal and editorial work. On Saturday and...
The Engaging Portrait
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 1515 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, CA
This class is designed for photographers who want to make portraits that engage on a deeper level. Meaningful work comes from your own experience. Portraiture is about intimacy and connecting. When the photographer allows his or her own emotions, questions, and fears to take over and makes space for the subject as well the complexity of being together becomes fertile ground for a moving experience that reflects in the work. Through slideshows, lectures...
Matt Albumen Printing with Jill Enfield
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 1900 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA
Albumen printing was the first commercially useable method for reproducing photographic negatives. Matt albumen is a cheap and fast way to make brown prints. Unlike glossy albumen printing where you need to mix up your albumen and allow it to ripen for a week, matt albumen can be mixed and used the same day. You can get most of the supplies at the grocery store, come home and make a print in very little time. In this new alternative process workshop,...
Understanding and Creating the Photobook
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 1515 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, CA
“Want to know a little secret? Making photography books makes you a better photographer. I know, I know, this sounds like a sales line. After all, I’m the “Blurb guy,” but hear me out. Making books, or otherwise putting your work in print, makes you a better photographer because bookmaking forces you to apply critical thought toward your photographs. It’s as simple as that. But what about all the options, the materials, the strategies,...
Music Photography
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 1515 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, CA
A picture should be more than just an image. It should capture the face, character, and history of the subject. Performers like B.B. King or Tom Petty are excellent examples of strong expressions. Now, in this new workshop experience, you can try your hand at capturing the essence of a performance in a single picture. Join celebrated photographer Jérôme Brunet for a weekend of music and photography. Jérôme will take you “on assignment”...

Figure/Ground: Environmental Portrait Workshop
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 5566 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Every portrait is made in a space and in a place. After considerations of choice of subject, pose and gaze, this is what is left over. What do these spaces say about the figures occupying them? How does the color, light and depth of field amplify the psychological presence of the sitter? How does the ethnicity, class and materiality of the things that surround the sitter say about who they are? In this workshop, participants will select locations...
The Art of Editing and Sequencing Your Photo Book
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 5566 W Washington Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
The process of editing and sequencing photographs is a vital component to creating a meaningful body of work. When it comes to conveying meaning, editing one’s work is as important, if not more so, than the making of photographs. This workshop will cover basic strategies for editing and sequencing photo-based projects, specifically with photobook production in mind, and give workshop attendees the opportunity to receive feedback on their personal...
