About The Printed Vision Series
The printed image shows our successes and our faults at a much higher level of detail than the digital image. To become better photographers, it helps to understand this by creating the printed image as a final product, which is the purpose behind the Printed Vision Series.
Each Printed Vision topic will meet for two sessions. In the first session, we will discuss the topic and elaborate on editing with examples. This will include discussion of exposure, dynamic range and color, but also deeper points, such as noise reduction, image sharpening and grain. In between sessions 1 and 2, attendees will independently process 1-2 images and submit them to the instructor for printing. We will print?one?of the two images leading into the second session and discuss some of the challenges we face in printing them.
You do not need to produce a new image for this class and can go into your archives to print, but you are welcome to go out into the field and create something new based on the topic!
This Month?s Printed Vision Session: Subtle Qualities of Matter Paper
To someone that doesn’t print, there are two types of paper–Matte and Glossy. Often, people refer to Matte as the “less shiny” surface. In reality, there are so many variations to Matte paper, a surface that has no glare, sheen, or reflectivity. But within this paper surface is a thing of beauty, a subtle quality that, when edited properly, can create an almost three-dimensional quality.
We will have an instructional online presentation on the first date and will reconvene for our Printed Image Review. You will have that time period in between to edit your images. In the end, you will receive a 12×19″ print on fine art paper. In the class, we will be using a variety of paper options, including Moab, Hahnemuhle, and Canson Fine Art papers. (Please note: The cost of a 12×18 print on fine art paper is $35-$40; the cost of this class includes the cost of that print!)
Receiving Your Print
After the class, your print can either be mailed to you or picked up at one of our Hunt’s Photo store locations.
