The Black and White Digital Fine Print Workshop with George DeWolfe
Please speak with Cathy Cone at Cone Editions Press for detailed information, to reserve a place, and any questions you may have concerning these workshops. (802) 439-5751 #101
$1,500 - 4 day course – Tuesday through Friday. Classes are 9a – 5p at Cone Editions Studio in East Topsham, VT – limited to a maximum of 8 and a minimum of 4. Workshop takes place 9am - 5pm each day at Cone Editions Press. Each attendee has their own computer workstation with a connected Piezography printer. Each workstation is networked to an EPSON 4000, EPSON 4800, and EPSON 7600. There are 4 large format EPSON printers with the four hues of PiezoTone inks and a Piezography Neutral K7 large format printer. There are several scanners for attendee use, but most attendees prefer to contract the studio prior to their attendence to have Cone Editions scan their originals on the Hell 3400 drum scanner (at additional costs). There are many different papers to choose to print from Hahnemuhle, Bradford Papers, Legion Papers and others.
The Black and White Digital Fine Print encompasses all aspects of the creative digital Black and White Image from capture to print. We will spend a day discussing digital capture and photographing and the workflow involved for Black and White. We’ll spend the rest of the time in the studio learning the Digital Fine Print workflow for Black and White through Adobe Camera Raw, Photoshop CS2, and printing with the Piezography K7 inks.
Emphasis will be on Black and White capture with digital SLR cameras, shooting RAW files, processing RAW files, the workflow through Photoshop CS2, and printing with the Epson 2200 and the Piezography K7 inks. The goal is to produce high quality Black and White prints on a consistent basis. The workflow in this workshop is one of the best in the industry, and we’ll pay special attention to the optimization of student files without selecting or masking – a unique technique pioneered by George DeWolfe and explained fully in his book, George DeWolfe’s Digital Photography Fine Print Workshop, published by McGraw Hill early in 2006.
Students should bring a digital SLR camera with a tripod, plenty of batteries and flash memory, ten Black and White negatives for scanning (optional), laptop (optional), external portable hard drive, and a Kodak Wratten 90 Monochromatic Viewing Filter, available from Tiffen as a B&W viewer and Harrison and Harrison filters as the Mono 90 Viewing Filter. The gel filter can also be obtained from vendors that sell Kodak gel filters. |
