Don Gilmore     May 30 – June 5, 2004
Artful Photography

Whether you use photography for your own pleasure, commercially, or as a reference for working in some other medium and wish you could make better images, maybe this workshop can help. Using 35-mm. format and color transparency (slide) film, we will practice shooting a broad spectrum of subjects. We will be working outside in spectacular northern Wisconsin. Overnight processing of the day’s shooting will allow us to critique our efforts so that we may solve problems, try different techniques, and experiment with many subjects and lighting situations. The workshop is loosely structured with little lecturing and lots of personal attention to accommodate a wide range of student abilities and equipment, and to make the best use of the available time for camera-in-hand practice.

If the instructors, students and weather all agree, we will try to partner with a concurrent painting workshop in an exercise which I call seeing through the brush and the lens.

Don first picked up a camera about 30 years ago. He started underwater photography about 25 years ago, using these images mostly for travel-related slide shows. About 6 years ago, he began doing brochures and catalogues for some small local companies. He also shoots art (painting, sculpture, jewelry, etc) for artists applying to juried shows. He has a studio located in the old mill complex in Grafton, WI.

Studio and on location: Something for all levels.
