Bridging the Gap: Classical Art Designed for Photographers
Bridging the Gap: Classical Art Designed for Photographers
By BH Event Space Videos
Many of the design problems that photographers face have been addressed by classical artists. Bridging the gap between classical art and street photography, Henri Cartier-Bresson combined the two practices and set the world of photography on a new course. He and his followers at Magnum converted the lessons from classical artists into photojournalism, street photography and portraiture. This video introduces the visual language, examining its basic grammar and the ways in which photographers can build up each element in their own work. Specific examples from master painters who were proto-street photographers are examined and discussed. One should come away from this video presentation with a completely new way of viewing the design accomplishments of classical art. Museums and galleries will breathe with new life as the geometry of art and design is decoded specifically for photographers. Be enlightened by the list of “common compositional mistakes” that many photographers make, because the rules are only taught to fine artists. Also revealed is where the “Rule of Thirds” comes from, as well as a look at additional techniques to use in the photographic format.

The Paradoxical World of Claire Rosen
By BH Event Space Videos
Inspired by fashion and fairy tales, photographer Claire Rosen constructs whimsical worlds, designs costumes and captures beauty with her camera. As both a fine art and commercial photographer, Rosen explores the dualities that exist in life. By working with themes and imagery popularized by fables and children’s stories, Rosen investigates universal truths while appealing to our desire for fantasy. Lightness and darkness, the real and the imagined, the beautiful and the bizarre—all of these paradoxes permeate Rosen’s work. Because of their contradictory nature, the tension generated by these pairs of elements entices us to behold, inhabit and get lost in Rosen’s photographic narratives. Once inside, we take part in an adventure. Despite having no clear destination, our adventure proves valuable. We encounter unusual characters, stumble upon enthralling situations and overcome obstacles. We are challenged by the unfamiliar and then rewarded with experience and knowledge. Luring us into worlds that blend fact and fiction and along journeys that make us question that which we know, Rosen encourages us to look at the familiar in new ways. She spurs us into exploring the human condition. She allows us to gain insight into ourselves and each other. She lets us live in a fairy tale. In this presentation, Rosen will share both personal and commercial work while highlighting her process from inspiration through execution.

Digital Workflow: Working Efficiently to get You back Behind the Camera
By BH Event Space Videos
Today, photographers are spending more time at their computers than they are behind their cameras. While all that editing software is amazing, this also means that a lot of time is being spent away from the customers and making more money. Jeff Cable, who is one of our most requested speakers, has come up with a very efficient workflow process for anyone shooting a lot of images. Whether he is shooting countless images at the Olympics, or thousands of images at a Bar Mitzvah, Jeff has a system that allows him to go through all of the images and post them online within 2 hours of any event. He will teach you about the hardware, software, and his secrets for saving time and working efficiently. If you shoot any events (sports, weddings, Bar Mitzvahs) at which you need to capture lots of images and edit through them quickly, you want to be part of this session.

Using Photography to Create Visual Narratives
Mapping Your Photos in Adobe Lightroom
By BH Event Space Videos
In many cases, the location in which a photo was captured is an important piece of information. Having that location information included with your photos provides a variety of benefits. The information serves as a helpful reminder of the location and also enables you to browse your photos on a map. Best of all, it isn't difficult to add information to your images using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. In this session, Tim Grey shows you how you can have location information added to your photos at the time the images are captured, how you can utilize reference photos for location information, and how track logs can be employed. You’ll also learn how to add and update location information using a map. And of course, once you have that location information added to your images, you’ll likely want to be able to find that information later. Tim shows you how to review location information, as well as how to search and browse for your images, based on where they were captured.
