THE EXPRESSIVE BLACK AND WHITE PRINT
JOHN SEXTON AND ANNE LARSEN
APRIL 16-21, 2013
NOVEMBER
12–17, 2013
APRIL
8–13, 2014
This extremely popular workshop celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in 2013!
Each of the three workshop sessions
concentrates on darkroom demonstrations in the art of black and white
printing by noted photographer John Sexton. Conducted in John's
state-of-the-art studio and darkroom in the rolling hills of
California, each intense workshop is limited to nine participants in
order to maximize the benefit for all involved. John demonstrates the
decision-making process leading to the final print, including the
Zone System of exposure and development, the production of high
quality negatives, creative printing techniques, advanced print
manipulation techniques, processing for permanence, and presentation
of the finished print. Emphasizing the aesthetic considerations and
consequences of each procedure, the well-organized, thorough
demonstrations will include: determination of proper print exposure,
variable contrast printing controls, advanced dodging and burning
procedures, localized print flashing, local print reduction,
localized selenium intensification of negatives, and much more.
Portfolio
reviews will offer constructive evaluation of participants' prints
and negatives, and discussions explore the possibilities involved in
creating expressive prints. A directed field session on the
spectacular Monterey Peninsula will allow participants to put new
ideas into practice. This workshop includes a unique and popular
session, where John evaluates both successful as well as problematic
participant negatives.
All applicants must have a working knowledge of
black and white printing technique and should be actively involved in
traditional darkroom print making. Each workshop begins at 7:00 p.m.
on Tuesday evening and ends about 1:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, and
includes daily refreshment breaks and three meals during the
workshop, along with a 100+ page workshop syllabus. Three identical workshops are offered. Talented
photographer Anne Larsen will serve as the co-instructor on this
workshop. If possible, please list alternate workshop dates when
applying. Early application is highly recommended as these workshops
often fill quickly.
Fee: $1,100 (Includes all park entrance and permit fees)
