The Julia Dean Photo Workshops and Lecture Series

The Museum of Photographic Arts and The Julia Dean Photo Workshops are proud to collaborate with a series of workshops.  Through the Julia Dean Workshops participants have the opportunity to study photography with world renowned photographers and industry experts.  Each workshop begins with a Thursday evening lecture at MoPA, open to the public.

The Power of Color with John Paul Caponigro November 20-22, 2008 Public Lecture: Thursday, November 20, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. Digital imaging is revolutionizing color photography and liberating color photographers in ways that have only been dreamed of. It is now possible to extend the range of color manipulation for photographers to levels that were previously only available to painters. There’s never been a better tool for controlling and exploring color than the computer.

This workshop, designed for anyone working with color on the computer, promises ways to work with color and harness its power for your personal expression. Developing two visions with one eye towards capturing realistic color and another eye toward enhancing color for a greater range of artistic expression, you will:

• master the superior control of manipulating color digitally
• develop a razor sharp eye for color accuracy
• gain a greater appreciation for the naturalistic palette of nature and color interaction in the real world
• manipulate color to enhance expression
• control color so that it doesn’t overpower but rather compliments the content of an image
• better understand the mechanics of human vision and how they influence our color perception
• learn about the practice and theory of the color sciences and color arts
• use color in new more powerful and sophisticated ways

A basic comfort level with Photoshop is required. Students will have access to Cuyamaca College’s (www.cuyamaca.edu) state-of-the-art digital darkroom. On Thursday evening, students will be required to enroll as a Cuyamaca College student and pay required course registration fees of $35.

John Paul Caponigro (www.johnpaulcaponigro.com), author of Adobe Photoshop Master Class and the DVD series R/Evolution, is an internationally renowned artist. A contributing editor for Digital Photo Pro and Camera Arts and a columnist for Photoshop User and apple.com, he teaches workshops both privately in his studio and at select public venues.
