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 Print Review Session: Making a Fine Art Print
To print fine art or not to print fine art: That is the question. What does it mean to make a fine art print? What photographic papers define fine art? What editing choices should we make to get through the emotions of the print? How do we calculate our editing with our paper choices?
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. The instructor will send back a video image review discussing what you did and how to improve your edits for print. The instructor will then print one of the images to be displayed in the Print Review, which will take place both in-person and online, in case you cannot attend live. In the end of each session, you will end up with a print up to 13×19” on Fine Art paper to take home with you. (We print on Moab, Hahnemuhle, and Canson fine art papers.)
Join us for this quintessential Printed Vision class!
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.
