Editing for Print
Want to learn how to elevate your photos to produce stunning prints? Then this mentoring class is for you!
Great prints come from making proofs, evaluating and incorporating improvements, and reproofing until you achieve the results you want. Rich will help you walk through this process to help you increase your vision and skills.
We’ll meet four times over zoom, and discuss your prints using Rich’s unique insight and experience to help you bring out the best in your photos.
You’ll start by making a set of proof prints from 10 to 15 of your best/favorite photographs (as explained below.) These will be evaluated during session one, with suggestions from Rich on how to improve them. You’ll apply these suggestions and make new prints that will be evaluated in session two. The process repeats for sessions three and four, as you continue to proof, improve, and approve final versions of your photos.
We’ll meet every other week to allow you enough time for editing and printing. The length of each session will depend on class size, and will meet for one hour for five students and up to two hours for classes of six to ten students.
You will need to make a total of at least thirty 8x10 inch prints for this class, and Rich will need to see the prints before each class.
Rich will print your images ($20 per photo, shipping not included), he’ll make two 8x10 prints of each photo on Luster Paper—one to send to you and one for him to look at during each session, so you can both be looking at the same thing while he is teaching. This extra set of prints can be shipped to you at the end of class.
The next offering of this four-session class will meet on Thursdays at 8 pm CT on Oct 24, Nov 7, Nov 21, and Dec 5. This timing works well for the holidays—you could have a new set of photos printed and ready to give as gifts!
Each class will be recorded, and playback is available for one month after the last class session.
Instruction fee: $300 - Includes four group Zoom sessions.
Printing fee: Will vary, depending on student choices. This will be charged with each shipment of prints.
