Princeton Photo Workshop @ Brick, NJ, Brick, NJ
Capture the dynamic world of boatyards and the beauty of the sea with nautical photographer Richard Sherman in this exclusive photography workshop. From portraits to abstracts, smartphone users are welcome to hone their skills in capturing the essence of boatyards and their surroundings.
This workshop is a rare opportunity to work with Joni Sternbach in her Brooklyn studio while being immersed in a weekend of shooting 8x10 wet plate collodion images. The class will go over the foundations of portraiture and explore the process of working with models. Through both natural and artificial light, participants will compose, sensitize, expose and develop ambrotypes and tintypes.
The size of this class is purposefully small in order to encourage safety, trust and the skills to build a relationship with a model. Students will share an 8x10 camera with a fellow attendee. Students are asked to bring 4 examples of previous work and an inspiring portrait with them to the first class. Discussions on work made in class will follow at the end of each day. Students will leave with Joni’s signature handout on materials and formulas as well as their varnished portraits from the weekend. On Tuesday April 25 at 6PM, students will meet for a 40 minute post workshop zoom meeting.
