• Whether you shoot black and white or color, Dan shows you how to dance with your images to bring out the tonality and color you want!

Dan’s workshop wouldn’t be complete without full coverage of his original and easy techniques for making digitally enlarged negatives for contact printing in the wet darkroom!

• Learn the latest and best methods for making enlarged negatives with inkjet printers!

• Learn how to quickly troubleshoot when things don’t print exactly like you wanted.

Dan Burkholder has been teaching digital imaging workshops for nine years at venues including The School of the Art Institute, Chicago, The Museum of Photographic Arts, San Diego, The International Center of Photography, New York, Santa Fe Workshops, Anderson Ranch and many others. His award-winning book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing, has become a standard resource in the fine-art photography community.

Dan’s workshops are famous for their energy, information and humor.

About the Artist: Dan Burkholder was one of the first photographic artists to embrace digital technology in the early 1990’s. True to his love of the traditional photograph, Dan uses digital technology to build images that still look and feel like real photographs, not like something from a graphic designer’s portfolio. Melding his unique vision with mastery of both the wet and digital darkrooms, his platinum prints are now included in many museum and private collections. Originating the digital-negative process in 1992, Burkholder has helped open doors for all black and white photographers interested in moving into the new electronic technologies. His award-winning book, Making Digital Negatives for Contact Printing, is regarded as the most authoritative work in the field. Dan has taught classes and workshops at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the lnternational Center of Photography in New York, the University of Texas at San Antonio, the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego and others. Active with the Texas Photographic Society for many years, he is currently serving on the Advisory Board for this organization.
