 FIRE AND ICE WORKSHOP- An erupting volcano provides color, shape and form at it's finest in Iceland / Seth Resnick
FIRE AND ICE WORKSHOP- An erupting volcano provides color, shape and form at it's finest in Iceland / Seth Resnick Seth Resnick's visual philosophy is to produce images nobody else envisions. Seth tries to bring back images that another photographer would not visualize from his "minds eye". Color, design, texture and spontaneity are key elements for all of his images. Through photography he communicates. Seth is intrigued by the process of reducing a real three dimensional world into a single plane while capturing a true moment in time that produces emotion for a viewer. Shooting digitally allows Seth to combine editing while shooting, allowing him to see in real time and improve the image. Seth is excited to explore all the potential possibilities of a live volcano. This workshop will bring together capturing and outputting optimal digital files using D65's Lightroom Workflow.

 Interpreting the Last Great Landscape / Tony Sweet
Nature photography is the art of interpretation. Seeing a scene and pressing the shutter release is certainly one way to do it. But, unless you feel what you’re photographing, others won’t feel anything from your image. Iceland is one of the last great photographic frontiers. This workshop will be an extension of our Visual Artistry photography workshops in terms of creating visually exciting and personal interpretations of the austere Icelandic landscape from the vast AND EXPANSIVE view to the smallest OF detail. We will be traveling en masse by special vehicle capable of traversing the remote streams and rocky trails, yet maintaining many of our creature comforts (electrical for laptop use, heat, and a high and unobstructed view as we travel). We will be led by Icelandic trail blazing guides who know off the beaten path, unique shooting locations which will maximize our photographic experience in terms of varied and unique locations and quality of light. There will be ample time to process and critique images made each day to best record this once in a lifetime photographic experience.

 Exploring the light in Iceland / Joe McNally
Much of what professionals are called on to do is done on location. Learning how to scout a location and use existing and artificial light creatively is absolutely crucial to success. In this workshop participants learn how to use natural and artificial light, reflectors, strobes, tungsten and fluorescent lighting systems to light and photograph portraits, interiors, exteriors, large and small spaces, and street scenes. Emphasis is on lighting technique and how to “write” with lighting to shape the mood, color, tenor, and feel of a photograph. Color temperature, as it relates to the effective mixing of natural light and strobe, is also covered.
