Share

Each semester Light Work/Community Darkrooms offers a series of workshops and classes available to students and community members. The following is a list of fall workshops:

Firm Foundations: Five-Week Workshops

Studio Lighting
Tuesdays, Sept. 17-Oct. 15, 6-9 p.m.
This fast-paced, hands-on course will show you how to work in the studio using the equipment available at Community Darkrooms. Aside from the technical aspects of studio work, you will be encouraged to express your own creativity and use lighting to further enhance your work. You only need to bring your camera; all necessary equipment will be provided.

Introduction to Lightroom 5

Tuesdays, Sept. 17-Oct. 15, 6-9 p.m.
This course will provide an introduction to the basic layout, tools and modules of the program, giving you a foundation to build on, as well as the knowledge to export and publish your work.

Alternative Processes

Thursdays, Oct. 3-31, 6-9 p.m.
Learn how to make cyanotype prints, salt prints and photograms in this hands-on workshop that explores simple, yet effective, alternative processes. This includes historic and contemporary work, as well as the traditional black-and white-development process.

Introduction to InDesign
Thursdays, Oct. 3-31, 6-9 p.m.
New to InDesign? This class will teach you the basics of creating engaging print designs and page layouts that output professionally, letting you design with confidence. Learn to navigate the program, understand the tools, create, edit and save files.

Introduction to Photoshop
Tuesdays, Oct. 29-Nov. 26, 6-9 p.m.
If you are new to Photoshop, or just need a refresher course on the basics, this is the foundation for you. Whether you want to size files, import, export or read a histogram, this course covers the basics.

Understanding Your Digital Camera
Thursdays, Nov. 14-Dec. 12, 6-9 p.m.
This course will help you understand how digital cameras work, and what features and settings will enhance your images. You will need to bring your digital SLR (or advanced point-and-shoot) as well as your camera instruction manual.

Single-Session Classes

Using Flash Effectively
Sunday, Sept. 22, 1-4 p.m.
Your flash can be your best friend or your worst enemy, depending on how you use it. Learn flash techniques that will help you flesh out, rather than flatten, your subjects. Bring your camera and plenty of extra batteries.

Camera Basics
Sunday, Oct. 6, 1-4 p.m.
This will be a simple overview of how to use your digital camera. There will be a few short lectures before heading outside to the beautiful Syracuse University campus, where you will be free to photograph an array of subject matter, practice learned techniques, and ask questions as you go.

Making the Most of Your Scanner
Sunday, Nov. 10, 1-4 pm.
Learn how to use your camera to make the best possible images. You will review file types and sizes, learn the difference between the Imacon and flatbed scanner, discover the 3F format and make adjustments to create a final scan. Bring a hard drive and your film.

To guarantee a spot in the class, payment must be received at least three days prior to the start of the workshop.
