6-Day Photographic Mentoring Workshop
Wester Ross, Scottish Highlands
Introduction
This workshop will cover the technical workflow aspects of printing from Screen calibration, proofing to print evaluation.
As part of printing your work, we will cover the same lessons taught in my Digital Darkroom' workshop, because good prints are made from good edits. And good edits can only be verified by printing.
Synopsis
"good prints are made from good edits. And good edits can only be verified by printing."
To make great prints, you first need to know how to edit your work to bring out the tonal relationships within it. So this workshop starts off by teaching you the same principles as taught in my 'Digital Darkroom' workshop.
Once we realise that editing is a vital stage of the printing process, we will then move on to using prints to evaluate our edits. I will also show you how to optimise your work for print by using soft-proofing methods and other colour management principles.
During our time we will learn about:
Colour management principles
• Screen calibration & profiling
• Verifying screen calibration using target files
• The importance of daylight viewing booths
• Document profiles & colour spaces
Digital Darkroom editing techniques
• Understand tonal relationships in the work
• Understanding luminosity values
• Using contrast masks
• Using luminosity masks
• Sharpening for print
Print Evaluation
• Working towards the final print
• Daily critique sessions
As some light relief from our time in the classroom, during the evenings we will have the opportunity to shoot the surrounding Wester Ross Scottish highland landscape.
Informal group setting
Bruce likes to run his photography-workshops in a friendly, intimate group setting. This trip has a maximum group size of six.
Unlike a lot of workshops with up to 12 or 16 people on them, running with a smaller number allows everyone to have space in which to photograph. It also means more quality time for Bruce with each participant.
