A comprehensive week-end workshop focusing on New Orleans architecture - its history, influences and contemporary photographic interpretation. New Orleans is legendary for its rich and varied historic architecture that includes French, Spanish and Anglo-American influences.
The initial session will cover the basics of architectural photography: controlling perspective through camera movements or PC lenses and the aesthetic and technical implementation of wide angle lens photography. The types of photographic equipment used in architectural photographic equipement will be demonstrated, including the use of a digital 4x5 Phase One back on a view camera, and a digital SLR with PC and tilt/shift lenses. Richard will also cover the use of photoshop to emulate view camera perspective controls.
Photographic sessions will take place in The French Quarter, the Garden District, and the Sydney & Walda Besthoff sculpture garden at NOMA.
October, with its mild temperatures, is an ideal time of the year to visit and to expand your portfolio of photographs.

This workshop is open to all levels but familiarity with your camera equipment and basic Photoshop workflow is strongly recommended.
Suggested equipment:
• Digital SLR, MF digital back or large format camera can all be used.
