Where Portland Community College - Southeast Campus, Portland, OR
Keynote Speakers Wendy Red Star
Featured Speakers Yaelle Amir, Julia Dolan

This year's conference focuses on the process and practice of making the photograph serve a purpose as we explore the varying ways photographers evolve their images. From concept through material and process to the end result, we explore the new ways of how traditional and historical technologies come together.

Group Portrait Study

The above images are from this weeks lighting demo, in which we explored the electronic flash as a source of fill light, in a high key, or bright light situations. Students took turns photographing and posing with each other. The portraits were photographed with a medium format digital camera system. It was used in combination with a wireless radio transmitter synced to a portable flash unit, fitted with size able soft box. Students also used a foam white board, which acted as both a low tech reflector and light cutter.

After photographing, the images were imported and converted from a RAW MOS files into Adobe DNG's in Lightroom.  The DNG files were edited for density, contrast, tone, sharpness, and lens & profile corrections. The images were then exported from Lightroom into Photoshop, after which they were laid out onto a canvas in Photoshop as a grid of six images. Students were asked to color edit their own individual image in Photoshop on a Apple Retina 15" laptop. They accomplished this by using the selective color option under individual layer adjustments, which were linked to their individual portraits on each individual layer.

On the creative level, students worked together, collectively, in a supportive environment, while engaging with professional photography tools. Formally, the grid aspect of the project's included students analyzing their own image, in the context of similar images, in order to compare and contrast color,  tone, and density. 

Experiments by Hao

Above is an example of Hao Zhang's experimental works, which he created in the lighting studio. In many respects, the image looks like a darkroom based photogram.
