Workshops
Overview
The Change Islands Centre for the Arts (CICA) is continuing the (Monday-Friday) workshops during the winter and summer of 2010 on historic Change Islands in Notre Dame Bay, Newfoundland. The winter workshop will take place March 2-6.
Four Photography Workshops conducted by CICA Director Andrew Danson Danushevsky will take place June 7-11, July 19-23, August 16-20, and September 13-17
The Workshops are limited to 10 people each and photographers from beginner to advanced are invited to attend on the beautiful and semi-remote Change Islands. Change Islands is a 20-minute car-ferry ride from the Farewell wharf, one-hour north of Gander International Airport.
The Workhops have been designed to provide participants with a balanced program of visual exploration and technical skills through selected site visits on the island plus computer-lab-time instruction to process and print photographs.
The Program
The Photo Workhops allow participants to work at their own pace. The stress-free Change Islands atmosphere is a departure from city time and city pace.
The Workshops are very much about: seeing...discovery...waiting...time...space....reflection. These elements are as important as the dynamic weather that visits the islands. Constructive critiques between instructor and participants are shared within the workshops to improve photo-skills and visual awareness.
On a technical level:
The workshops cover the following areas: camera operation, (lenses, zooming, aperture, shutter speeds, ISO, exposure), reading light, looking at lighting, portraits, landscape, still life, composition/framing, quick shooting, editing, flash, digital imaging/processing, printing, exhibiting.
