In this workshop, we will go beyond the basics of the Adobe Lightroom Classic workflow. We will begin with a brief review of the Library and Develop Modules, along with key settings that impact performance and organization. From there, we will dive into problem-solving common challenges such as replacing or adding hard drives, moving files without losing links, and maximizing the use of Collections. We will also explore new tools for sorting and organizing, creating export presets, and more within the Library Module.

The Develop Module section will cover Lightroom Classic's newest features

Photography enthusiasts are currently enjoying a photobook boom; the photobook has never been more popular and accessible than it is today! Do you have a body of work that may be ready to be published? How should your book be sequenced and designed to shape the meaning of the work? What projects or collections of photographs make for compelling and collectible photobooks? After collaborating on their award-winning book Berlin (Kerber Verlag, 2022), photographer Jason Langer and designer Matthew Papa offer an eight-week course developed to help photographers explore meaning and narrative in

Join artist and educator Anne Eder for a captivating two-day summer workshop at the Griffin Museum, where art and nature converge. You'll learn to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind photographic images using 19th-century and contemporary cameraless techniques: anthotypes, lumen prints, and phytograms.

In order to make Platinum/Palladium or other Alt Process prints, you need to start with a negative the size of what you would like your finished image to be. Unless you use a large format camera, digital negatives are what you need to use. This two-session workshop will be virtual, and the instructor will go through each step from how to take your photographs off your camera or your phones, put them into photoshop, and start working on how to make a good negative to printing it out the final product. There will be plenty of time for questions in each session, so that you can get started on

In this workshop, you will be guided through the conception, creation, and completion of your photobook (via a print-on-demand (POD) self-publishing platform.) You will also receive information on other options for publishing your book.

In preparing for this course, you will determine the subject of your photobook and identify some of the images you expect to include and possible text.

To begin, we will examine a book's structure and see examples of classic and contemporary photobooks. Through presentations, discussions, critiques, and assignments, you will work to refine your idea

If there is one thing that can hold people back in their creative process, it is the fear of failing. We all want to be perceived as successful, knowledgeable, and competent, but as any scientist can tell you, there is no discovery without forming a hypothesis and testing it, and some of those are bound to fail. The bottom line is that it is impossible to discover something new without exploring the possibilities, and those experiments are not foregone conclusions. Sometimes the right mistake is what takes you in a fantastic new direction or leads to the exact bit of new knowledge needed to
