Creative Thinking
This class is designed to help you expand your approach to photography, to question the “how” and “why” of your technique, and to challenge and understand your creative process. This workshop is designed for those photographers whose inspiration is found in literature and art. Whether you are currently developing a photographic series based on a poem or look to illustrate your dreams, this class will explore the technical and stylistic means needed to express visually what holds meaning for you. Through lectures and discussions, exercises and assignments, this class will explore the Social Landscape as other photographers have seen it over that last hundred years. Join celebrated photographer Jérôme Brunet for a weekend of music and photography. Jérôme will take you “on assignment” to shoot a live rock band at the iconic Los Angeles music venue Whisky Go Go. In this second class, we’ll continue exploring the obstacles and limitations imposed by cameras, lenses, and “film”, and we’ll use lectures, presentations and assignments to learn techniques that overcome and exploit those troublesome realities. This workshop will help you fulfill and finish your fine art project, prepare it for presentation to a broader audience, and find avenues for potential exhibitions or book publishing. In this workshop we will discuss all aspects of creating a poignant, meaningful portrait series, including the importance of communication skills, the psychology of dealing with people, design continuity of your work, and the element of trust within the artistic exchange. In this workshop we will explore different aspects of portraiture and delve into the process of working with people, approaching potential subjects, and establishing trust and developing a relationship with the subject. What often makes photographs most interesting is when there is a compelling story or narrative behind the work. In this workshop, students will endeavor to improve their skills in storytelling through photography. With photomontage, you can combine your everyday photos of family, friends, and travel into surreal stories and worlds without having to be a Photoshop expert. This class will teach you the basic concepts behind great photomontage, and the process and skills required to create your own worlds and stories. Contemporary fine art photography transforms ideas into images, and images into a voice. The photographer acts as a channel to which this progression can evolve. This six-session course will investigate this process and use of photography as a tool for individual expression. This intense weekend workshop introduces participants to the practice of creating handmade limited edition photographic artists’ books that balance form, content and materials in innovative ways. This course, devoted entirely to composition and photographic design, is intended to help you develop the way you see and pre-visualize your images so the tools and ingredients can help you achieve more compelling, meaningful images. In this one-day conceptual photography class, students will learn to develop their ideas and think before shooting, discovering a new workflow that cultivates creativity. Join Eddie Soloway in a unique workshop experience designed to push your seeing from what is in front of your eyes into the world of abstractions, reflections, layers, movement, and then deeper into the realm of concepts and imagination.

Documentary & Social Consciousness
Through lectures and discussions, exercises and assignments, this class will explore the Social Landscape as other photographers have seen it over that last hundred years. This six-month class is intended to teach students how to shoot candidly on the street, not only from practical experience, but also from studying historic and contemporary street photographers. In this second class, we’ll continue exploring the obstacles and limitations imposed by cameras, lenses, and “film”, and we’ll use lectures, presentations and assignments to learn techniques that overcome and exploit those troublesome realities. This class is about finding ways to create change locally by shooting in an artful and empowering documentary way. At the same time, the class will demand each student learn and follow the ethics that go along with the profession of social documentary work. “The LA Street Shooter’s Collective” picks up where “On the Streets in LA” left off, continuing the camaraderie of shooting together on the street, sharing our work, and getting feedback from each other. This intensive two-day course on street photography is designed for intermediate and experienced photographers. Using his decades of experience of photographing the streets, Ibarionex will walk students through the process of seeing and capturing great photographs while exploring the city. Learn to capture compelling street imagery using iPhones and Androids in this one-day photographic adventure with smart phone photographer David Ingraham.

Fine Art
This class is designed to help you expand your approach to photography, to question the “how” and “why” of your technique, and to challenge and understand your creative process. This workshop is designed for those photographers whose inspiration is found in literature and art. Whether you are currently developing a photographic series based on a poem or look to illustrate your dreams, this class will explore the technical and stylistic means needed to express visually what holds meaning for you. This two-day workshop serves as a hands-on introduction to this demanding but beautiful photographic process, invented by Frederick Scott Archer in the mid-19th Century. Through lectures and discussions, exercises and assignments, this class will explore the Social Landscape as other photographers have seen it over that last hundred years. Join celebrated photographer Jérôme Brunet for a weekend of music and photography. Jérôme will take you “on assignment” to shoot a live rock band at the iconic Los Angeles music venue Whisky Go Go. In this second class, we’ll continue exploring the obstacles and limitations imposed by cameras, lenses, and “film”, and we’ll use lectures, presentations and assignments to learn techniques that overcome and exploit those troublesome realities. This workshop will help you fulfill and finish your fine art project, prepare it for presentation to a broader audience, and find avenues for potential exhibitions or book publishing. This workshop, designed specifically for fine art photographers, focuses on developing artists’ portfolios over a six-month period of time. This class instructs the emerging photographer on how to present work to the fine art and documentary markets. It also provides an insight into the world of photography and helps photographers package themselves and their work in a professional manner. In this workshop we will discuss all aspects of creating a poignant, meaningful portrait series, including the importance of communication skills, the psychology of dealing with people, design continuity of your work, and the element of trust within the artistic exchange. In this three-hour seminar, Aline Smithson will demystify the fine art photography arena and speak to the shift towards moving work off the walls and onto the page. Most importantly she will speak to the importance of how the photographer articulates work. In this one-day workshop we will concentrate on using chiaroscuro lighting while working with nude models on location in a beautiful modern home. Contemporary fine art photography transforms ideas into images, and images into a voice. The photographer acts as a channel to which this progression can evolve. This six-session course will investigate this process and use of photography as a tool for individual expression. This intense weekend workshop introduces participants to the practice of creating handmade limited edition photographic artists’ books that balance form, content and materials in innovative ways. Discover the proven tips, techniques and strategies that will empower you to create memorable travel images that convey an authentic sense of place.
