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.
This Month’s Printed Vision Session: Printing Flowers!
Everyone wants to print flowers. There is such a mass appeal of flowers for such obvious reasons, including their impermanence and their vibrancy of color. Therefore, it only makes sense that flowers should be printed to display that level of vibrance for a long period of time! In this session, we will focus our energies on not only the editing process, but choosing the right surface of paper and size of paper. Among the topics discussed matte vs. glossy papers, the importance of textured papers, the illusive rice papers and natural/eco-friendly papers, printing with borders and considering creating alternative borders, and more! We will really be digging deep to think about what we are doing, why we’re doing it, and what we want to do!
This Print Review topic will meet for two sessions. In the first session, we will discuss the topic– some of the key differences between paper surfaces– and present a variety of options for you to have your image printed. In between sessions 1 and 2, attendees will independently process 1-2 images and submit them to the instructor for printing. Educator Paul Nelson will produce a recorded image review, discussing paper options, editing suggestions, and more, to be sent back to you leading up to the second session. Paul will then print images for the class. In the end, you will receive a print of one of your edited images up to 13×19″ in size. (Please note: We are happy to make a larger or additional print outside of the class for an additional fee!)

A Note About The Printed Review Series
Our Print Review Monthly is a chance to continue the print conversation over the course of many months. These sessions are excellent for anyone:
• Someone that wants a little help with editing before they get a print
• Someone that does print but has print-related questions
• A person that prints often and wants to try a different paper
• Someone with no knowledge of printing that just wants to get a print!
Come check out why printing is the best thing to do for your photography!
In-Person or Online
This class will be taking place in-person in our Melrose store location and online, in case you cannot attend live. If you cannot attend live, your print can either be mailed to you or picked up at one of our Hunt’s Photo store locations.
