Custom Camera Profiles for easier and more accurate image processing with Lewis Kemper
©Lewis Kemper
Learn the importance of having a custom camera profile and how to incorporate into your workflow. If you process using Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw/Photoshop then you are basing everything you do on a generic profile that is provided to you from Adobe. This profile is not how your camera sees color or contrast. My creating a custom camera profile you not only save time processing but you do because your image has richer more accurate color, and better dynamic range. This simple process will make a world of difference in your images and your workflow.

Getting Comfortable Photographing Strangers with Peggy Peattie

We look at, and discuss, examples of the different scenarios in which we might be photographing strangers. In my case that means individuals experiencing homelessness or other vulnerabilities, people at protests, street photography, portraits, events, etc. We then interrogate what it is that makes us uncomfortable taking pictures in these situations, and discuss how to manage and reframe that discomfort. We then head out and practice what we have learned.
Takeaways: Participants will identify their own inner resistance. We will do some role playing, then do an activity and rejoin to discuss our experiences as well as what lessons will guide our work going forward.
