YOU, YOUR CAMERA & THE ARTIST WITHIN


This basic beginner's course teaches both the craft and art of digital photography.  By it's conclusion, you'll be able to pre-visualize the image you wish to take -- and capture it precisely.  In this class you'll learn everything you've always wanted to know -- (and a few things you didn't) -- about file formats, archiving your images, metering, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, resolution, depth of field, composition and the like.  Along the way, we'll explore (and debate) the Master Works of artists such as Cartier-Bresson, Eisenstadt, Avedon, Arbus, McCurry,  Friedlander, Marshall, and Erwitt -- all to one end:  to learn to make (not take) a fine art image.  While we won't learn Photoshop in this class, we'll see enough of it to entice you to take my other class.

HOW TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH PHOTOSHOP -- A BEGINNER'S COURSE

Photoshop can actually be fun, particularly when it does as you ask.  In this beginner's course, we learn to work with RAW, JPG and TIF formats to get the most out of your images -- all without falling asleep.  By the end of the course, you'll know how to maximize the dynamic range of your image to obtain greater detail and drama; how to turn flat images into photographs that "pop"; how to master color; how to create a fine art B&W and sepia image; how to enlarge, crop and better resolve your image; how to move, remove & add objects to an image; how to minimize noise and posteurization; how to achieve just the right amount of sharpening; how to retouch faces and bodies; and a heck of a lot more.  The emphasis is on basic mastery:  we learn to seamlessly enhance an image, not drastically change it.
