SUMMARY:Van Dyke Brown Printing with Digital Negatives with Victor Ramos (In-Person Learning - One session)
DESCRIPTION:In-Person Learning\nExplore the rich\, warm tones of one of photography’s most expressive historic processes in this hands-on Van Dyke Brown printing workshop. Guided by artist and educator Victor Ramos\, this one-day class introduces a contemporary workflow that combines digital negatives with traditional contact printing techniques to create richly detailed\, sepia-toned images by hand. \n\nDesigned for photographers and creatives of all levels\, this workshop offers a focused introduction to the Van Dyke Brown process. Students will learn how to prepare digital negatives\, mix and apply light-sensitive chemistry\, and expose prints using UV light or natural sunlight. Victor will guide you through each step of the process\, including paper selection\, coating techniques\, exposure timing\, and development and fixing procedures. \n\nIn addition to technical instruction\, the class explores creative approaches to contrast control\, tonal variation\, and image refinement\, allowing for a wide range of expressive outcomes. Whether working from digital files or smartphone images\, participants will learn how to transform contemporary photographs into timeless\, handcrafted prints. Leave with finished work and the knowledge to continue printing independently. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVictor Ramos is an award winning fine art photographer from Los Angeles\, California.
