An Analog Photo Seminar (Large Format, in particular)
Please RSVP, if you plan to attend.
This one-day seminar is being organized by me and hosted by the Photo-Department of Cardinal Stritch University. Even though digital is the main word in photography nowadays, there are still a number of photographers who see value in the traditional analog practices of photography, particularly in large-format photography.
This seminar will feature presentations and demos by WI film-based fine-art photographers. Nick Olson, Dr. Yong-ran Zhu and Mark Brautigam will present on their experiences in large-format photography. Over the lunch-break, I will talk briefly about the experience of working with Leica rangefinder cameras and his 4×5 experience.
Each photographer will give a 30-40 minute presentation of their work, followed by a short Q&A session. The afternoon will be spent with each photographer giving a hands-on demonstration of their working methods. The tentative schedule is as follows:
Cost for this workshop is:
$20/person before September 30, pay via PayPal or personal check. $25/person after September 30.
$15/student before September 30, pay via PayPal or personal check. $20/student after September 30.
