Program Description: Lake Garda is a perfect setting to explore the people and mood of a place with photography. Harvey Stein is a well known photographer of people in the streets and in the studio and has led Il Chiostro workshops for the last 12 years.
Interact with the local inhabitants, the lake, its water and light, its surrounding architecture, marinas, hidden gardens, and nature paths. Excursions to the nearby cities of Verona and Salo or Vicenza will lead to other opportunities to photograph people, marketplaces, vivid colors and capture antiquity and artisan culture. We will work toward a personal vision to create artistic, meaningful and provocative imagery with digital cameras or color negative film. Visual and technical exercises will be given to help capture the essence of the people and places that we photograph. Lectures, presentations, excursions, demonstrations and critiques will expand upon the expressive and aesthetic possibilities of photography.
This is a busy, fast paced, activity-filled workshop that will push participants to achieve photographic results that you perhaps didn't think reachable.
Participants are welcome to shoot in either digital or color negative film. Film will be developed each day for critiques. For those choosing to shoot digitally, we strongly recommend the following:
- bring your laptop for downloading and editing images
- be familiar with all aspects of transferring images to your laptop, including downloading, file naming and organization, burning CD's, initiating slide shows, copying and deleting files
All participants will consult with Harvey prior to the workshop to review equipment, experience levels, and software knowledge. Making the right preparations in advance will greatly improve the efficiency of the workshop on site.
