The Fine Digital Print Expert
"Greatness means: to give a direction." —Nietzsche Workshop overview: The Fine Digital Print workshop series offers the most advanced digital printing workshops available anywhere. You'll learn more in one week than you learn in a semester in college. The Fine Digital Print Expert is a true master class, conducted by a master, at an elevated level. Reviews set the stage for customized projects, collaboration, and extensive feedback. We’ll identify core strengths, areas for further development, and areas for focused experiments designed to get the answers you need to resolve your work at the highest level. Demonstrations of advanced material are conducted seminar style. Sessions give you not only how to use the tools optimally but also strategies for applying them to achieve the results you want. You then apply these new techniques to your own images. You'll test a variety of media with your images to determine which is optimum for your images/vision. You’ll test a variety of palettes with your favorite image(s) to clarify and refine your personal palette. You’ll test a variety of sharpening styles. You’ll test a variety of scales. And you'll get valuable feedback while you explore your options that will accelerate your progress. You'll be excited and inspired by the diverse perspectives of your fellow participants. Collaborative sessions reveal how uniquely interpretive each realization of an image can be. You'll find hidden dimensions in your images and your visual voice that you didn't know were there before. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of the core strengths of your vision, an action plan for finishing your personal project designed to take your work to the next level, and several exhibition quality prints.
