Returning for the 6th year

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.

He started photographing with a rather primitive underwater camera about 40 years ago. After getting a great deal on a good 35 mm (land) camera he combined underwater and surface images for travel related slide shows. About 10 years ago, he teamed up with a graphic artist and began doing brochures and catalogues for some local companies. From his studio in the old mill complex in Grafton, WI he produces images of fine art objects (paintings, sculptures, jewelry, etc.) for artist records, promotions, insurance and juried shows. He loves teaching!!! The only thing more fun and satisfying than creating a good image is helping other people do the same.
