Fashion Photography with Jason Kruppa

This half-day workshop will focus on editorial and commercial beauty photography. The instructor will discuss the use of the beauty dish in lighting and will walk students through planning and shooting both a clean beauty look as well as a more creative, editorial look with model, makeup artist and hair stylist. The instructor will provide 100mm macro lenses for both Canon and Nikon shooters to use during class, so please be sure to bring your DSLR. The instructor will also demonstrate how to build a beauty dish -- which typically costs several hundred dollars -- for under $40.00 from materials available at Home Depot and Wal Mart.

Sustainable Dyeing: Discover Nature's Sources of Color with Stefanie Ramirez

Discover nature's sources of color! In this class, you will learn the principles of dyeing fabric with beautiful colors using only natural dyes. Questions like “what is a dye”, “where can I find dyes in Nature”, “what is a mordant” will be addressed and a brief overview of dyeing techniques will be given. Each student will experiment dyeing different fibers using various natural dyes. Everyone will be encouraged to experiment with some resist dyeing techniques, such as tie-dye or shibori. Students are also welcome to bring additional materials they’d like to experiment with! Dyeing can be a great way to bring back to life a stained dressed or to give a twist to all that white yarn hanging out at home. Even better if we only use natural dyes!
