You can learn volumes about a person by looking at their possessions, how they carry themselves, and by what they choose to wear. A photographer should consider all of these things when making an environmental portrait. In this class, students will be challenged to make a series of imaginative and intimate portraits, while juggling all the technical issues of photographing the subject in a larger context. We will discuss techniques in making your subject feel at ease, as well as lighting, composition, form and symbolism. This is a critique course with an emphasis on aesthetic and conceptual issues, though technical matters will be discussed as needed. The final class will be a portfolio review.
Students should have a solid working knowledge of their cameras and equipment, though technical help will be available. This class will benefit students who need a little motivation to shoot, and those who want to begin to delve into conceptual issues regarding portraiture. Students can feel free to use digital or analog cameras, but must be able to bring in work every week.

Photoshop is the kingdom in which your imagination can go wild. Whether you are interested in enhancing your images with a few simple tricks or you wish to delve into retouching for Fashion and Beauty, this class is for you. In three sessions you will learn all the elements required to make your images stand out.
This class will go over the advantages of shooting raw files, downloading and browsing in Adobe Bridge, processing and image enhancement in Adobe Camera Raw and finally Photoshop's fascinating retouching methods, including solutions for color correction, exposure settings, layer masks, skin retouching and light compositing. Learn a bag of new tricks and get a massive improvement on your old ones.
This class is for a wide range of Photoshop users, with one recommendation- if you've never ever opened Photoshop and laid eyes on the tool bar, take the Photoshop Intensive first and then come join us! Students are encouraged to bring their own images for the second and third meetings, but we will provide files when necessary.
