[http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/duane1a.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/duane3.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/duane4.jpg]
This workshop represents a very rare occasion to study for several days with one of the most influential fine art photographers working today. During the days of this workshop, students will immerse themselves in the making of photographs, participate in class critiques and discussions. This will greatly clarify the process of taking the next step and help them to find their own path in fine art photography. Duane will guide students to mine their own experience to tell personal stories. This class is a game-changer.
TODD HIDO: Fine Art Photography: A Method Demystified
[http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/todd1.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/todd2.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/todd3.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/todd4.jpg]
Todd Hido’s work spans multiple genres including night scenes, landscapes and portraiture. He works in rich, syntactical layers that he expertly sequences into simple, powerful narratives about relationships, home, and family that somehow ring true with universal memories. In this workshop, he will invite the students into his world as he makes photographs along side them. He will teach how to use low and available light sources to capture dramatic portraits. The students will work with models and/or local subjects, both indoors & outdoors, and photograph outdoor locations to explore the narrative power that is activated when one sequences a person with a place. Find out why 12 books of his work have been published in 10 years.
GREG GORMAN: The Fine Art Female & Male Nude
[http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/greg1.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/greg2.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/greg5.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/greg3.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/greg4.jpg]
This unique workshop focuses on photographing both female and male models and emphasizes the classical approach Gorman is famous for. Sculptural, beautifully lit and posed, a Gorman nude is recognizable because it is evocative and timeless. Workshop attendees will work on location in beautiful settings, with available light as well as in the studio. Greg will demonstrate his methods of posing models, lighting, and explain how he infuses his images with such power and form. Each attendee will have time to work with the models and will have Gorman’s input as the class progresses. Greg will present his work and there will be class critiques. This workshop will be limited to a maximum of 12 students, and will be a full four day class with a two-hour wrap up on the fifth morning.
Portraiture
FRANK OCKENFELS III: Signature Portraiture
[http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/frank1s.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/frank6s.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/frank5s.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/frank4s.jpg]
Spend three days working and learning from one of the most unique and risk-taking editorial portrait photographers in the business today. “This workshop will serve as a reminder of why we take pictures. We will explore looking at and playing with natural light, alternative lights and lights we find at night. It is a hands-on workshop where I will guide students through my methods; how I see, work and find light. This is not a conventional studio class; strobe and hot lights will not be addressed.” Frank’s class fills quickly, so don’t delay if you plan to register.
GREGORY HEISLER: Powerful Environmental Portraiture
[http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/heisler1.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/heisler3.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/heisler2.jpg] [http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/heisler4.jpg]
Gregory Heisler is one of our most celebrated portrait photographers. He has worked for literally hundreds of publications throughout his amazing career. In this exciting and informative class, Gregory Heisler will explain and demonstrate the philosophy and methodology behind his iconic environmental portraits, balancing a conscious process of decision-making with the intuitive, unpredictable shifts that inevitably occur during the making of a portrait. This is a shooting workshop with valuable critiques.

These three days will have the potential to be a game-changer for photographers interested in understanding what photojournalism means in our times and how a very prominent and successful storyteller decides where to go, what to cover and most importantly, bring a personal vision and commitment to the task. In this workshop, Stanley Greene will present and discuss his work and his methods / process. He will review the work of the workshop attendees and offer direction and input. The class will spend 1.5 to 2 days in the field, photographing and reviewing progress. There will be ample one-on-one time with attendees and time devoted to class critiques. Students of this class will emerge with a real look at how a photojournalist approaches assignments, what steps are necessary to establish a narrative and tell stories.

TWO-DAY WORKSHOPS
FLETCHER MURRAY: The Basic DSLR Video Production Bootcamp. April 28-29
Join renowned instructor Fletcher Murray for these two, two-day classes and leave the festival with a solid overview of shooting motion video with DSLR cameras. The Basic DSLR Video Bootcamp is for novices and seasoned professional photographers and filmmakers who want to learn the basics of professional DSLR filmmaking. This is an updated version of the sold-out workshop we presented in 2012 and 2013 at the Palm Springs Photo Festival. You’ll learn step by step, at your own speed, in a relaxed, hands on environment. Students are NOT obliged to attend both classes.
[http://2014.palmspringsphotofestival.com/images/fletch.png]
FLETCHER MURRAY: The Advanced DSLR Video Production Bootcamp. April 30, May 1.
In the advanced filmmaking workshop, Murray will explain how to design and execute powerful moving images. You’ll learn how to prep a shoot – storyboards, shot selection, lens choices, camera support systems, lighting and pacing…all of it. There will be camera operation drills of both documentary camera and narrative film camera techniques. You’ll learn which shutter speeds will augment the action, how to use hand-held rigs, car mounts, jib arms and sliders. The class will explore the boundaries of your DSLR’s low light capability as we shoot scenes for a short film. We’ll show you how to use and augment existing light, and how to remove light for a more “cinematic” look. Our pro crew will be there to help you achieve the Bootcamp’s Pro Level Two Certification.

They are timed to enable you to take these in addition to other workshops if desired, as they take place on Thursday and Friday, while most other workshops run Monday – Wednesday with a wrap-up Thursday morning. Brian has worked for countless magazines and corporate clients on assignment. His methods are designed for portraiture where time is of the essence – you’re on a job with a tight schedule and have to move quickly and precisely to nail it. He is all about the subject – how to light them beautifully and make multiple portraits with time constraints.
