Each workshop we ask our students and our visiting professionals what they think worked well throughout their time with us. Here is a sampling of what some of them had to say during the course of our recent programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cJohn Paul is the best teacher I\u2019ve ever had \u2013 and I studied with Richard Feynman.\u201d
\n– Steve Scheele<\/p>\n

“John Paul is hands down one of the best creative and technical communicators of our generation.”
\n–Michael McLaughlin<\/a>, commercial photographer, Ireland.<\/p>\n

“For me, the only joy greater than taking a picture, is seeing that image printed to it’s highest form… the photograph. When asked by colleagues and students who I turn to for advice, technique or guidance on printing, there’s only one person I recommend and that is John Paul Caponigro. JP is to digital inkjet printing what his father is to traditional silver gelatin printing… a true master craftsman and artist.”
\n–\u00a0Arthur Meyerson<\/a>, award winning commercial and fine art photographer.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with any endeavor, the first 80% is relatively easy; it\u2019s the last elusive 20% that makes all the difference. I wanted to learn the
\n\u201csecret\u201d to attaining the highest possible level of quality in my digital printing, so I enrolled in \u201cThe Fine Art of Digital Printing,\u201d the only workshop personally taught by the two pioneers in the field. Both Mac Holbert and John Paul Caponigro have been recognized as the premier innovators and masters of the medium since its inception.<\/p>\n

Mac Holbert essentially invented the medium of digital printmaking as a fine art, using the predictable and repeatable nature of graphic arts prepress tools available at the time and bending them to his will. With great finesse and efficiency he continues to produce digitally-generated prints of unparalleled quality. John Paul Caponigro has not only been a pioneer in the use of digital technology to create and print his own fine art images, but is perhaps the leading educator in the field as well, lecturing, teaching classes, and writing extensively on the subject.<\/p>\n

Together, Mac and John Paul cover all aspects of fine art digital printmaking in a logical, easily understood format. They generously share their time-tested techniques, sure-fire shortcuts and invaluable personal observations while patiently demystifying the process of digital printmaking at its highest level. Yet they never lose sight of the ultimate goal: to realize the vision of the artist. The image remains paramount. So in the end, there are really only two reasons to take the Fine Art of Digital Printing workshop – R Mac Holbert and John Paul Caponigro.\u201d
\n\u2013\u00a0Gregory Heisler<\/a>\u00a0, multi-award winning portrait photographer, prepared a large scale commission during the week.<\/p>\n

\u201cRarely, if ever do you get the opportunity to have a teacher show you something that changes the way think and create. Even rarer is when lightening strikes twice. I have never had workshop experience effect me and my work as profoundly as the workshop taught by John Paul Caponigro and Mac Holbert. I thought I knew what I was doing when I attended the first day, I walk out at the end of the week knowing more than I thought possible. Let me put it another way…. If you pass on this opportunity to learn from these two master artists then you\u2019re just a big silly.\u201d
\n\u2013\u00a0Vincent Versace<\/a>, Photoshop guru and Acme Educational DVD entrepreneur, assisted during both 2007 workshops.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor those hoping to take their digital print making skills to the cutting edge and beyond, look no further than the FADP workshops offered by John Paul Caponigro and Mac Holbert the “dream team” of digital photography. It would be difficult to imagine a duo better suited to slash through today’s briar patch of confused and conflicting approaches to fine art printing than Mac and John Paul, but hold on to your hats, with these two, the classroom experience is very much like drinking from a fire hose of vital information.\u201d
\n\u2013\u00a0Chris Noble<\/a>, internationally renowned adventure\/travel photographer worked on an important new project on Rwanda, in collaboration with author Terry Tempest Williams.<\/p>\n
