With this internationally renowned photographer, in a picturesque South Florida location, you will discover that environmental portraiture does not have to be a laborious affair.

Seminar 149
Authenticity: The Process of Photographic Creativity with George DeWolfe
Authenticity is the single most important attribute a photographer learns and possesses. Not only is it a process of working from oneself, but it leads eventually to the creation of the masterpiece. This lecture explores the perceptual and technical processes involved in authenticity. The process of Authenticity deals directly and primarily with the fundamentals of creating an image and allows the photographer to work from themselves rather than by photographing derivatively. This lecture examines a way to free ourselves from the thinking and styles of others and to photograph with authentic vision.

Seminar 150

Ansel Adam's Zone System was designed to provide a system of tone control for silver halide, chemically processed, film based photography.

Lee Varis outlines a new "digital" Zone System for the 21st century based on material from his latest book of the same title.Learn new techniques for achieving the ideal exposure for your digital photographs and how to manipulate the tonal range of the image in the new "digital darkroom." Take your photography to the next level with the proven principals used by the old masters!

Examples will include single and multiple capture; ultra-high resolution close-ups using stacked focus and Photomerge.

Seminar  162
Photentiation with Ted Spiegel
P(h)otentiation is a word Ted Spiegel has coined to describe the process of kicking images up a notch by intentionally including two subjects or concepts within one photograph. Potentiation is a pharmacological term cautioning patients not to combine a Valium and a martini lest they receive a debilitating impact. P(h)otentiation is a technique Ted has been employing for years to intentionally expand the impact of his imagery.  The TV monitor at John Kennedy’s feet kicks Spiegel’s rear view image up a notch, provoking thought about a life shortened in reality, extended through remembrance by media. The presentation will cover decades of published p(h)otentiations enlivening coverage of the landscape, environmental issues, social concepts and scientific subjects.  This session will endow you with the capacity to convey the depth of your perceptions.
