9AM-5PM
Concept
This workshop reaches beyond the capture of still images to explore the complex notion of The Digital in a post-photographic world. Digital images are used as the starting point for processes that utilize 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, Photoshop, photogrammetry, 3-D compositing within still images, Blender

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.

Daily activities lead to understanding custom workspaces, touchscreen gestures, resolution, digital brushes, selections to edit specific areas, working with layers, and layer masks for compositing. Students apply these skills by illustrating a scene from their beautiful surroundings and working from photographic source images.

The Hybrid Image: Digital and Physical
Ben Timpson
Tuition $1,200
Code P0306-23
In this workshop, new ideas and creative perspectives are brought to life by combining photography, painting, sculpture and collage through hands-on experimentation of exciting new transfer techniques. We learn to see photography as a multidimensional medium by incorporating digital fabrication tools and techniques to create photographic sculptures. Students print onto film and learn how to transfer images to traditional and nontraditional substrates while pushing the boundaries of creative possibilities. The workshop results in an expanded idea of how digital photography can be used to add depth and produce unique artwork.
