#205 Portfolio Review and Tech Time

This three-hour program is intended for photographers to bring in up to 10 of their images for Bryce to review and critique; saved on a USB flash drive. The students’ 10 images may be their "best ever" images for validation that these images are as good as the photographer hopes they are. Most students however; bring in their problem images in hopes that they can gain an insight of how the image can be re-edited or perhaps re-photographed even better. Bryce will display the images on a big screen and tell you the truth about each image and hopefully; how to make it better if it can be made better. We start at 6:30PM and we continue until we are done. This program is held at our Farmington Hills campus. The image resolution should be 6″x9″ @ 240 DPI or 2160 Pixels at the longest dimension. Students will also want to bring in both the RAW image (unprocessed) and their edited .jpg image if possible, in case Bryce needs to demonstrate a processing technique from scratch.

#206 Photoshop (Lightroom )Sandbox

This 3 1/2 hour work session enables people to bring their best images or their problem images into our computer lab and make up to 13×19 inch prints. This event is ideal for camera club members desiring to print their competition prints on professional printers with the help of instructor Bryce Denison. He will assist with printing profiles, color balance, sizing, sharpening and all aspects of the editing process. Students are expected to have a basic understanding of editing principles as this is not a teaching event but a mentoring event. If some of your best work was shot long ago; back in the days of film, you can use this time to scan high resolution images of your slides, negatives and prints from either color or black and white in order to edit and print them later. We have a Nikon ED 8000 film scanner (4000 DPI and makes up to a 130 Mb file size from a 35mm slide. We also have a Microtec 8900 flatbed scanner which can accommodate up to an 18×12 print or 4×5, and 8×10 film; even a medical X-ray which is perfect to scan your family archives and photo albums). 13×19 inch prints is the most common size of print to exhibit in camera clubs or develop into a portfolio. It is a size large enough to frame and put on the wall as fine art. Access to our mounting, matting and framing equipment is also available (Fletcher 2100 matte cutter and a Fletcher 3000 matte and glass cutter, a Seal 30×40 Vacuum dry mount press and more). Attendance is limited to eight people. This workshop is at our Southfield Campus located at 29260 Wildbrook Dr. (just east of Telegraph and just north of 12 Mile Rd)

# 421 Studio Portraiture and Business Practices

This six-hour workshop starts with classroom instruction on the running of a business photographing a graduating high school senior, professional corporate head shots or even wedding engagement announcement photos. Remember that graduates frequently use their senior portraits as a personal statement of who they are as a rite of passage. Most graduating seniors desire a photo that shows people active in their interests in life; like music or a pet or sports. You need to be able to extract that information from the client and deliver it back to the client in the form of your photographs.
After the classroom business portion we will go into the studio where students will photograph a model and learn how to quantify beauty by using lighting, backgrounds, poses and props to maximize the model’s best features or to minimize those that are less desirable. Lighting ratios and metering will also be discussed and demonstrated. Students will use state-of-the-art studio electronic flashes housed inside really large soft boxes for great soft lighting.

This workshop can include the #999 Post Workshop Private shoot immediately following the conclusion of this workshop. You can get a one-hour private shoot with the model for $100.00 which may include a model release. Advanced registration is strongly encouraged and only two private shoots will be offered per workshop. Enrollment is first-come-first served.

Students are expected to bring: camera with ample media cards, wide angle and telephoto lenses, tripod and a lens hood for each lens. Just like you go to a restaurant, it is common and appropriate to give your waitress/waiter a tip or gratuity, such is the case here. You are encouraged to provide a gratuity to your model at the end of a successful shoot.
