Digital Infrared Photography Workshops are the BEST way to learn

Digital infrared tutorials are a great way to learn about this fabulously strange photographic technique for making surreal photos. But to gain the creative mastery you really need to create award winning digital infrared images, you need to get hands-on! Try the shots, play with exposures and be privy to the secrets of award winning photographers.

In response to your numerous requests, our new 2 day Introduction to Digital Infrared Workshop will give you not only a deep understanding of the techniques, but a complete tool-kit of methods, tips, trouble shooting tactics, and individual recipes for the most requested infrared styles an effects

While landscapes are often the most satisfying subjects for infrared photography, it is also dynamite for portraits, nudes and human-based abstracts. If you�re a portrait or wedding photographer and want to vapourize your competition, you�ve got to see how seductive invisible skin can be!

You can make digital infrared images just like this by attending our digital infrared photo workshop.

In this workshop we will cover:

DAY 1: Making your images:

What is infrared and why does it make such surreal images
What are the best digital cameras to use for digital infrared photography?
How to uncover your camera�s infrared potential
The tools of the trade
The counter intuitive nature of infrared exposures, and how to work this to maximize your shooting schedule

DAY 2: Post processing - using Photoshop & Nikon Capture NX (if you shoot Nikon):

Image preparation
Image assessment
Black & white post processing
False colour post processing
Hands-on shooting from 12 noon till 1:30
Creative Digital Infrared post processing
Photoshop recipes

Day 1 includes the theory of infrared, the equipment, exposure procedures, special compositional considerations, and an afternoon of shooting depending on whether you're attending the week day or weekend session.(weather permitting).

Day 2 takes place in our state-of-the-art computer lab, where we will get hands-on with some of the most advanced Photoshop post processing techniques for enhancing digital infrared photographs. Includes shooting time outdoors (weather permitting). Work on you own images or the images provided under the direction and guidance of your instructor, award winning infrared photographer, Alexandra Morrison; and create images beyond your imagination!

Dates for 2008 will be announced in early February, 2008. Please call us for more details.

Is this workshop for me?

While this is a Pro/Advanced amateur level workshop, you�ll get the most from this experience if you have some basic camera and computer skills. You MUST be knowledgeable using your camera and understand concepts such as white balance, and bracketing, and be able to set them in your camera. You must know how to set your aperture to achieve certain effects.

In the lab, you should be familiar with Photoshop 7 or above, and navigating it�s interface, as well as using basic photo editing such as color balance, histograms, levels, and Adobe Camera RAW.

You do not need to have any infrared capable camera or equipment for this workshop. We will have some equipment for you to try, as well, we will provide you with a series of infrared images to work on.

However if you DO have an IR capable camera and IR filter, you are more than welcome to bring your gear. You do not need to shoot RAW for these workshops but I recommend you do. You do not need a digital SLR for this workshop, certain digital point & shoot cameras work just as well, if not better!
