Six bi-weekly classes
The perfect class for the photographer with lots of great images but nothing to put on the wall! This course guides students through producing fine finished photographic prints, with a focus on careful tonal adjustments, and image preparation for printing. The class addresses all aspects of digital printing, for students using both Yupphoto-chemical (commerical) and inkjet printers.
For the first class, students are to bring ten prints to introduce their work to the other students.
Course objectives:
- discuss printing options, costs and consequences
- learn about colour space and calibration
- explore the concept of proof, work and finished prints
- learn strategies for culling images for printing
- create methods for consistent image finishing
- complete a set of finished images
Class Size: four to eight students
Fee: $280 CAD plus printing costs
Course Expectations: students are expected to produce numerous proof prints weekly during the course, along with work and finished prints, 8"x10" or larger. These prints can be produced on photo-chemical (commercial) printers, or photo quality inkjet printers. Printing costs are not included in the course fee.
Requirements: Students must have previous photography experience, be familiar with manual camera controls, and have intermediate skills with Adobe Photoshop® or Adobe Lightroom® (in-class image editing will be done on CS5). Students who have not completed the Photo 101 and Digital 101 courses should contact Eric Boutilier-Brown prior to registration to ensure their skill level is sufficient to fulfill the course expectations.
