Vancouver Photo Workshops proudly announces a five day workshop, "Greg Gorman Master Class" with internationally acclaimed photographer Greg Gorman to be held from July 9th to 13th, 2008. Set in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to expand your visual horizons under the guidance of one of the great masters in contemporary photography. Take part and experience a renewed sense of energy, inspiration and vitality in your photography.
This workshop is like nothing you have ever experienced. Be inspired and guided by a true Master. Shoot amazing models at million-dollar locations. Enjoy rare wines and fine foods with like-minded photographers.
Workshop course decription provided by Greg Gorman himself:
In this week long workshop Greg will share his vision as a portrait and figure study photographer.
He will not only discuss his style but also his insight into creating lasting imagery.
Greg will demonstrate his lighting techniques in the studio and natural light, using models and locations in the Vancouver area. VPW has booked exclusive, rare locations approved by Greg to ensure a unique backdrop for the high-production shoots. VPW has used similar locations in the famous Master Workshop with Ralph Gibson in 2005, 2006 and 2007.
Students will have the opportunity to shoot in all locations with the models and will share their photographs in
an open forum each day with critiques by Greg. Students may choose to shoot portraits and/or nudes during this workshop, using either film or digital capture with cameras of any format.
Greg will travel to Vancouver ahead of the workshop to personally audition and cast the models for this exclusive workshop. He also will visit all shooting locations and approve such before the workshop begins.
After a discussion on workflow and editing, the week will finish with a fine art printing session of student imagery.
Students will be responsible for retouching their own images outside of class, since the emphasis of this workshop will be on capture.
