Workshop history
This intensive, hands-on
workshop, is ideal for photographers with at least a basic familiarity with
large format work . Intermediate darkroom skills will be helpful. Participants
are expected to have a strong desire for developing both technical and
expressive skills.
The course will present a state of the art
approach to platinum-palladium printing, often referred to as the finest and
most permanent of photographic processes, the methods of platinum / palladium
printing will be fully explored. The end result is a radiant print with silken
tones and fine detail - qualities which have been historically expected of the
platinum print but can now be achieved. Most importantly, the course will
emphasize the aesthetic possibilities of platinum-palladium work and how the
medium can be manipulated to suit each participant. The balance between art and
science, between aesthetic and technical concerns, will be combined with a
holistic approach to advanced photographic expression - a melding of critical
thinking, technical awareness, and creative expression is the goal. Along with
new work, the participants will come away with a new aesthetic and technical
resource at their command. Activities will include lectures, slide discussions,
print presentations, demonstrations, hands-on studio work under close
supervision, individual and group critiques.
