Going the Distance
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 5481 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Given the speed with which images made with a camera come into being in comparison to most art forms, the plethora of projects photography churns out isn’t surprising. But do such projects necessarily reach the broader audiences their creators may be seeking for the work? If we’re always starting with something new, who can keep up with us? Something more than a great project is necessary. Call it identity. It would seem that a series of photographs...

Creating the Photo Montage
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 5481 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Just as a photograph can record fragments of reality, it can also be created out of fragments. This is what a photo montage does. It juxtaposes and melds seemingly disparate objects into a cohesive whole, fragments from many sources, to present a different reality, in the way a dream might present fragments from different times and places. Blurring the line between photography and painting, a composited photo can invite the viewer to enter...

Dragging the Shutter: Balancing Flash and Ambient
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 312 N Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA USA, Los Angeles, CA
Dragging the Shutter or balancing the strobe and ambient light is tricky but the results can be amazing. We use the flash to illuminate the subject and slow the shutter speed (hence the term “dragging”) to pull in the background ambient light. Once you get the basic concept of how to set your flash and what camera settings to use, it’s easy and fun to experiment with. For example: taking a photo of someone outside at night by using...

Transforming Your Photographs
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 10200 Venice Blvd, Culver City, CA
Beginning in the 19th century, the earliest photographs were often tinted with paint, to make them more ‘life-like’. After the advent of color film in the 1950’s this was no longer necessary, so hand-coloring photographs became an interpretive, expressive art form, to make photographs more compelling and unique. In this workshop, you will be introduced to some digital techniques using Lightroom and Photoshop and output images on a variety...
Three Simple Lines: Meditation and Writing Haiku
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 5481 Santa Monica Blvd, Los Angeles, CA
Haiku brings us closer to ourselves and to the world. In three short lines, it can shake us awake, give us the experience of an entire lifetime. It can also give us refuge and clarity—something we all long for, whether or not we realize it, especially in these times we’re living in. We will look at works by haiku masters, soak our minds in them, and have short periods of sitting meditation and timed writing. We will explore different angles to...
Introduction to Location Lighting with John Lichtwardt
Los Angeles Center of Photography @ 312 N Western Ave, Los Angeles, CA USA, Los Angeles, CA
Mastering the skill of lighting on location takes planning in addition to technical savvy. Photographers must be capable of scouting an appropriate location, assessing how time of day will affect the outcome, and determining what quality of light will best facilitate the mood of the picture. Will it be a blend of ambient and artificial light, or does the strobe dominate? Do we use direct or indirect light, hard or diffuse light? How do we adapt to...

Exploring the Nocturnal Landscape
Los Angeles Center of Photography
When the sun sets and the street lights slowly start to glow, a whole world of light, shadow, color and mystery awakens. When others pack up their gear and go home, the more adventurous know this a time to explore, to seek images that are not so evident, not so visible, but there to be captured and made into beautiful and dramatic photographs. Critical to successful night shooting is training the eye to see in an environment it is not used to photographing...
