Photography Fall Concentration

PHOTO – FALL CONCENTRATION
SEPTEMBER 29 – NOVEMBER 8, 2024 (6 weeks)
Jill Enfield
Photography Through the Ages

This workshop will explore the limitless possibilities of working with photographic processes invented during the past three centuries. By first learning each process and then beginning to combine them, each student will invent their own way of working. We will have daily demonstrations, discussions of historic and contemporary works, and plenty of time for experimentation. Processes will include in-camera and digital negatives, wet-plate collodion (ambrotypes, tintypes, negatives), cyanotype, Van Dyke brown, platinum/palladium, albumen, and digital printing. The workshop will be exciting for beginning to advanced photographers who want to set aside time to experiment and make new art. All levels.

Creative Cyanotype Explorations

This workshop will explore the creative depths of the rich, blue, cyanotype process as students learn to manipulate the technique for their own artistic goals. Cyanotype is a light-sensitive, hand-applied emulsion that is painted onto paper or other materials. It does not require a traditional darkroom and can even be exposed outside in the sun. Together we will explore exciting approaches, such as photograms, creating digital negatives, printing on imaginative substrates, and toning. Cyanotype is a great starting point for experimenting with alternative photographic processes, and it has many applications for photographers and mixed-media artists. All levels.

Wet-Plate Collodion Photography

Developed in the 1850s, the wet-plate collodion process has achieved a revitalized presence in contemporary photography. This workshop will focus on using the collodion process with metal as a substrate. We will work with large-format cameras using studio and natural light to create unique images in the traditions of portraiture, still life, and landscape. Students will gain in-depth knowledge of the chemistry (mixing, replenishing, and caring for it), coating and sensitizing plates, exposure, and development. There will also be a demonstration of making tintype cases. Participants will leave with the confidence and knowledge to continue working in this method on their own. Cameras and equipment supplied by Penland. All levels. 

Studio artist; teaching: Art Intersection (AZ), Maine Media Workshops, Penland; exhibitions: Phoenix Art Museum (AZ), Crystal Bridges Museum (AR), Museum of Fine Arts Boston; collections: Center for Creative Photography (AZ), Santa Barbara Museum of Art (CA), George Eastman House Museum (NY), Ogden Museum (New Orleans); publications: New Southern Photography, The Book of Alternative Photographic Processes; representation: Etherton Gallery (AZ), PhotoEye Gallery (NM).

Photographing Your Work: Documentation for Artists

Photographic records are essential to every art practice. They can describe a work, provide an exhibition view, supply installation instructions, ensure accurate color for print reproduction, or communicate the character of a practice.They can also express an aesthetic and convey a narrative. This workshop considers the many contexts in which these images are made and used. We will work digitally and explore the technical requirements for quality pictures. Demonstrations will cover camera control, natural and artificial lighting, and post-production workflows, including color correction, retouching, file output, and storage. We will cover everything you need to get the best images of your work from the conditions and equipment you’re working with, whether you have a DSLR, mirrorless camera, or cell phone. This workshop is for any art/craft practitioner wanting to photograph their work. All levels. Photography studio.

Professor at North Carolina State University; other teaching: Virginia Commonwealth University (Qatar), Oregon College of Art and Craft, Pacific Northwest College of Art (OR); residencies: Brightwork Fellow at Anchorlight (NC); exhibitions: North Carolina Museum of Art, Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (NC), Contemporary Art Museum (NC).

View Camera Workshop

The view camera may seem daunting, but it is easily mastered. Its contemplative, methodical approach rewards users with photographs of the highest quality. We will learn to use the large-format camera, control focus and perspective, develop sheet film using a simplified zone system, make enlargements in a darkroom, and scan negatives for digital printing. Alternative and historic printing methods will be discussed but not practiced. It will be helpful if students are familiar with the rudiments of traditional black-and-white photography — exposure, film development, and darkroom printing — but this workshop is open to all levels.

Distinguished Professor of Photography at the University of New Mexico, 2016 Honored Educator at the Society for Photographic Education conference; author of six textbooks widely used for university-level photography courses including A User’s Guide to the View Camera; collections: Museum of Modern Art (NYC), Museum of Fine Arts Boston, American Art Museum (DC), Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
