David Ellis is leading a two-day pinhole photography workshop for Worldwide Pinhole Photography Day at AS220, a non-profit community arts center in Providence, RI, US. The price, $100 + $35 lab fee, is incredibly reasonable as far as these things go.
"Today, there is a growing interest in pinhole photography, which focuses more on the essence of, and less on the fact of a moment. This fun and exciting “low-tech” approach allows us to accept chance while freeing us from our need to control outcome. It is an excellent opportunity for any artist as well as beginner or seasoned photographers to loosen up their imaginations and explore new avenues of seeing.
"During this two day workshop, we construct cameras made from ordinary containers, take photographs using photographic paper to create paper negatives and use the darkroom to make prints. On the first day, we construct our cameras, take photographs, explore exposure times, learn darkroom processing and create negatives. On day two we use the darkroom to create positive prints. Prior photographic experience is helpful but not necessary. Open to artists from all mediums. Throughout, emphasis is placed on experimentation and process with individual coaching and a final group critique…"
Two days: Sat. & Sun., April 29th & 30th, 9:30am–4:30pm each day.
