Suggested Preparation Material
Except for the material available through the workshop itself, the following books and courses are good learning resources to prepare for this workshop.
The resources cover multiple theoretical, practical and post-processing subjects for an overall pre-workshop preparation which will give you better captures in the field and more impressive final images. It is particularly important to consult them before the workshop since this workshop is such a practical one.
- Video Course 5+ hours – From Vision to Final Image – Mastering B&W Photography Processing – extensive analytical black and white photography conceiving and post-processing
- Video Tutorial 2.5+ hours – Creating (en)Visionography – Long Exposure, Architecture, Fine Art Photography – theoretical and practical analysis of (en)Visionography, fine art photography, architecture and long exposure photography, working with the tilt-shift lens
- eBook 425 pages – From Basics to Fine Art – Black and White Photography – Architecture and Beyond – extensive theoretical and practical analysis of fine art black and white photography – principles, rules, practical advice, post-processing.
Who is this workshop for
Both beginning and advanced photographers are welcome to the workshop, regardless of the gear they use or how long they are working with photography. After all, fine art, (en)Visionography, relies more on the vision of the artist than on his gear. I have won many awards using basic gear and you can do it too. Even if you are shooting with a phone, you will get amazing opportunities on this trip. Besides, phones have become so good lately that you can even get prints from a good phone shot.
Architectural or urban photographers, as well as landscape and travel photographers are welcome, and any photographer creating other genres of fine art photography (still life, portraiture, conceptual) or aiming to learn how to do it, will find this workshop a great tool for advancing their photography to the next level. The subject you work with is not that important, what you want to convey through it is, and you will find out why that happens and learn how to do it.
We will shoot mainly architecture, urban, and travel photography, with some touches of landscape photography, but the knowledge you will acquire in this workshop can be applied to any subject or photography genre, since it is based on your personal style and not necessarily on a specific subject. And shooting a different genre than the one you shoot regularity is always one of the best ways to stay inspired, get new ideas, and learn to think out-of-the-box.
What equipment/software you need
Camera
- A camera with Bulb function so you can shoot long exposure. If you don’t want to shoot long exposure you don’t need the bulb function, but I wouldn’t miss in your place the chance to shoot long exposure. Some newer cameras can shoot longer exposures in Manual mode too. If you own such a camera, you will not need the Bulb function.
- A cable release/remote control to control the shutter during the exposures, in case your camera does not have this function.
Lenses
- Your favorite lenses. The first choice will be a wide-angle or ultra-wide-angle lens, which will enable you to get closer to your subject, cover a larger field of view, and create more dynamic images. If you have a tilt-shift, bring it with you, as it is a great lens for architecture and landscape photography. If you don’t own a tilt-shift lens, but you would like to get one (it is not a requirement for the workshop, only if you want to), I would recommend starting with the 24mm tilt-shift, which will cover the broadest range of subjects. In addition, a long lens in the range of 100-200mm or 100-300mm will be useful to be able to reach further and shoot details or subjects placed in the distance. You can get different discounts for photography gear from this link https://bit.ly/Adorama_JAG
Filters
- ND filters if you want to shoot long exposure. Recommended: Formatt-Hitech Firecrest or Firecrest Ultra 10, 13 (or 14) and 16-stop ND filters. Alternatively, Formatt-Hitech Firecrest or Firecrest Ultra 10, 6 and 3-stop (or 4-stop) ND filters. If you want to cover more ground, you can consider a broader range consisting of a set of 3 (or 4), 6, 10, 13 (or 14) and 16-stop ND filters that would help you cover any exposure you may need. You can use the square or circular filter version. If you use the square filters I recommend the Formatt-Hitech Firecrest anti-light-leak filter holder with magnetic polarizer. For any Formatt-Hitech Filter, holder or accessory you need to purchase, use the code JULIA10 to get 10% discount when ordering from https://bit.ly/FH_US or https://bit.ly/FH_UK
Tripod
- A sturdy tripod to stabilize your camera during long exposures or to experiment with creative photography (motion blur, ICM etc.). I have negotiated some discounts for my students from FLM tripods and you can get 10% discount using the code JULIAG10 when ordering from this link https://bit.ly/FLM_JAG
Laptop/Computer
- You can have a laptop with you but it is not necessarily required. If you do bring a laptop, the following pieces of software will be the most useful, and you can use my discount codes below to get them if necessary. You will need access to a computer for the online sessions and you can use the software below if you want to apply the techniques Julia will be teaching in the post-processing and review sessions.
Software
- Photoshop, Lightroom or Camera RAW, Capture One, DxO PhotoLab, etc (depending on your preferences). Additional useful tools below.
