Post-Photographic Processes

Jul 4 - 8, 2022

9AM-5PM

Concept

Reach beyond the capture of still images to explore the complex notion of The Digital in a post-photographic world. Using digital images as the starting point, this workshop considers concepts and materials of the digital sphere to explore the world of contemporary image production. Photographs will be treated as the starting point for processes that utilise photogrammetry, 3-D rendering, and composite imaging, resulting in an altogether new still image. Participants learn the basics of digital photographic manipulation using Adobe’s Photoshop, free and open source 3-D software, and basic photogrammetric production.

Media

Digital Photography, Adobe Photoshop, Photogrammetry, 3-D compositing within still images, Blender, group discussions and dialog

Faculty

Mark Dorf

Mark Dorf is a New York-based artist whose practice utilizes photography, video, digital media, and sculpture. Mark is influenced by human perceptions of and interactions with what is commonly referred to in Western Culture as “Nature,” as well as urbanism, design, and virtual environments. He reveals these subjects’ entanglement and integration as an inclusive and lively planetary ecology, helping to navigate away from environmental collapse and to imagine a New Nature.

Photography & New Media

Photography has always been a vital part of Anderson Ranch, one in which students explore visual storytelling through a variety of contexts and concepts. The program has uniquely evolved to focus on both traditional photography and new media— making it one of the only workshop settings of its kind. Three floors of the Fischer Photography Center house state-of-the-art equipment, including three photography studios, two Mac labs, a traditional darkroom, and a lighting studio with strobe and continuous lighting for photography and video.

All Photography workshops are rooted in the same idea—powerful art requires rigorous inquiry of techniques and ideas. We focus on technical skills, content and critical dialog. Students have access to color-managed media labs equipped with 24-inch iMacs, flatbed and film scanners, Epson printers, and cutting-edge software including Adobe Creative Cloud. When appropriate, students utilize strobe and tungsten lighting equipment, seamless backdrops, green screen, audio and video recording equipment and Epson large-format printers.

The Ranch Photography and New Media team creates an inspiring environment, allowing artists of all levels to explore lens-based media and the journey of artistic discovery in the unparalleled setting of the Colorado Rockies.
