Workshop: Introduction to Large Format Photography: Feb 13-14, 2010. Alabama Hills

Despite the digital photography boom, large format film photography is witnessing a resurgence of interest and an increase in users. Large format negatives and transparencies offer extraordinary resolution, and view cameras offer extraordinary control over fine focus and perspective. Simply stated, a large format camera offers the ultimate in photographic control over the creative image-making process. Further, a market flooded with used but clean large format gear and a couple of new economical yet quality view camera manufacturers have made this an excellent time to enter the world of large format with only a moderate amount of expense (a good LF kit can cost and weigh less than a professional D-SLR kit).

My teaching methods and techniques are direct and easy to comprehend, and I will successfully put you in full control of your camera. At the completion of this intensive two-day workshop, you will be able to efficiently and confidently compose, focus, and expose your own photographs.

This winter has treated the Sierra Nevada very well - our High Sierra backdrop will be fat and white! Because this workshop coincides with Valentine's Day, I still have a few openings.

Have a great workshop! The Alabama Hills is a great place to photograph -- especially with large format! I will be part of a workshop here in the Redwoods that same weekend. Here's to good weather for us both!
