The Craft of Fine Digital Photography With John Pack
June 3-14 and July 6-20, 2008 • Paros, Greece
This course is limited to six participants and will include thoughts, discussion, and practice on the digital photography process with the aim of producing a final fine print.
We will work through the entire digital photography workflow, including calibrating your monitor and building color profiles for the paper on which we will be printing.
We will discuss how the choices we make during the process have a profound effect on our intentions as photographic seers, poets, and artists. From capture to finished print, how the use of technical control informs our creative voice and ideas; the choice of paper, sizing, inks and formating are all of paramount importance in expressing our ideas. Craft is essential to the creative process.
While the emphasis is on technique, this course is not only about the mechanics of process. The true goal is to produce poetic images which speak directly about our feelings and ideas of what we encounter as photographers; not emoting or mere demonstration of technical virtuosity.
When a combination of keen observation, practiced knowledge of craft, and having something to say (or even a notion of having something to say) coalesce, the chances are very good that you will be able to create a poetic image.
