Saturday, December 10
1:30pm–3:30pm
Ages 16+A 2-Day Photography Class for Ages 16+
Vicente Rondon is a portrait and documentary photographer from Buffalo, New York with 20 years of experience in image making. Over the last 10 years Vicente has specifically focused on making images of strangers that he encounters through travel or local treks. In order to better build an understanding of the people within his own community and individuals of intrigue elsewhere he gravitates towards the overlooked, underappreciated, or those lost within the calamity of being a “passerby”.
In this two day workshop Vicente will go over and compare the thought process and methods that have been successful for him as a street photographer to better help you move forward in your desire to explore the genre. Day One will encompass the equipment, technique and approaches to street photography, inspiration and style, as well as discuss the philosophy and ethical concerns surrounding the genre. The class will close with a photowalk for students to practice what they’ve learned. Day Two is a shorter class where students return with their work to discuss image selection/curation, a basic review of editing, and a group critique.

Seeing & Printing in Black & White
$80.00 – $100.00A 1-Day Class
Saturday, TBD, 2022
10:00am–1:00pm
Ages 16+A 1-Day Photography Class for Ages 16+
In this class, you will learn how to previsualize what works well in a black-and-white photograph. It’s this ability to form an image in your mind’s eye of what a finished photograph will look like before you ever release the shutter that allows you to hone in on subjects and compositions that will translate well into black-and-white. Once you’ve trained yourself to identify certain compositional elements that typically work well, it will become second nature to “see in black-and-white.” In addition to the visualization session, class participants will learn how to manipulate digital images to obtain desired B&W effect. The second class will include learning to print your black & white photos experimenting with different papers. Class also includes additional lab hours in order to practice on your own what you have learned.
