The course will include thoughts, discussion, and practice on the digital photography process with the aim of producing a final fine print.

We will work through the entire digital photography workflow, including monitor calibration, building color profiles for the paper on which we will be printing, and color theory.

We will discuss how the choices we make during the process have a profound effect on our intentions as photographic seers, poets, and artists. From capture to finished print, how the use of technical control informs our creative voice and ideas; the choice of paper, sizing, inks and formating are all of paramount importance in expressing our ideas. Craft is essential to the creative process.
