Description

Lurking under the iPhone’s phone label is one of the most inspiring, capable and fun imaging systems in all of photography. More than just a snapshot device, the iPhone is a powerful creative tool for creating art, right in our palms. We now have camera, darkroom, and—as Jerry Uelsmann would say—Visual Research Laboratory, all in our shirt pocket! Liberated from rushing home to our computers, we can shoot and process our images in the field, learning what works (and doesn’t) to make our captures match our vision. And when it comes to printing your iPhone images, you will be amazed with the color, depth and texture in your prints.

Dan Burkholder has a long history of looking over the photographic horizon to see, explore and teach the next great thing in imaging. This is your opportunity to discover the power, fun and stunning output that’s possible from your iPhone!

• Learn capture techniques that are specific to iPhone photography.
• Learn which software preserves your camera’s resolution and which trash your hard-earned pixels.
• See how true HDR imaging (as opposed to software simulated HDR) is not only possible but easy with your iPhone.
• Create an iPhone workflow that takes you from capture to final image, with an emphasis on creating beautifully artistic images.
• Build your personal “app suite” that gives you all the capture and processing power you need on your iPhone.
• Practice panorama capture with your iPhone. Learn which software works best, combining up to 50 stitched images.
• Explore interpolation software that lets you make bigger prints from your iPhone captures.
• Learn Photoshop tweaks that are ideal for your iPhone images.
• Print your iPhone images on beautiful Museo papers.

We’ll spend time in the field and in the studio exploring all aspects of iPhone photography. It’s time to stop wondering what you can do with your iPhone and time to start making stunning prints!

Prerequisites

Participants should have a basic working knowledge of their iPhone and Photoshop.

What You Should Bring

You should bring your iPhone 3G or 3Gs to the workshop (3Gs recommended).

• Have the latest iPhone system software installed.
• Make sure you have some space on your iPhone for images and new apps.
• Have an iTunes account in good working order (current credit card on file with iTunes, etc.) so you can make app purchases during the workshop (you might spend as much as $40 on software during the class).
• Don’t forget your USB sync/charge cable so you can download images to your laptop.

Other Things that Can Help

Bring a notebook and lots of enthusiasm. And come well rested too!
