Photographers who know their camera equipment well, and have a good understanding of image processing. Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements is a bonus as we will be working with Layers. The content of this workshop is mainly expressive photography techniques such as Dreamscapes, montages, multiple exposures and panning. We will also dabble with minimalism in photography.
There will be a meet and greet dinner on the June 16 (Monday evening) with a briefing from André on what the week/workshop will be like. The workshop runs from June 17-21 (Tuesday through Saturday). Each day will begin with a lecture, followed by a morning shoot (3 hours or so). Students are expected to attend all sessions and stay through our final dinner on Saturday evening. After lunch participants will have time to process and pick some images for discussion and evaluation. On Friday, each participant will be assigned a project to photograph for our final presentation Friday evening.
Everyone should bring: • Digital SLR Camera gear Lenses: bring whichever lenses you have but there is no need to purchase any for the workshop. Lenses in the 24-300 range are great and a polarizing filter will be helpful.

REQUIREMENTS BEFORE TAKING THIS WORKSHOP To get the most from the workshop, please make a serious effort before you arrive to learn basic camera operation: how shutter speeds relate to lens openings, what depth of field means, and what each dial or button on your camera does. Study your camera manual carefully and bring it with you. Please do not register for a workshop unless you are able to stay for the entire period, including our final dinner, as an early departure seriously disrupts the spirit and fellowship of the workshop.
