Vancouver Photo Workshops Proudly Presents:

Acclaimed Photographer, Photo-Illustrator and Mixed-Media Artist

David Julian

From Seattle, W.A.

In an exclusive, intimate 5 Day Workshop:

"Exploring Your Personal Vision with Adobe Photoshop "

July 23rd to 27th, 2007

Vancouver Photo Workshops proudly announces a five day workshop, "Exploring Your Personal Vision with Adobe Photoshop " with acclaimed photographer, photo-illustrator and mixed-media fine artist David Julian to be held from July 23rd to 27th, 2007. Set in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to expand your visual horizons under the guidance of one of the great masters in contemporary photography. Take part and experience a renewed sense of energy, inspiration and vitality in your photography.

David Julian holds a BFA from Pratt Institute, and is a widely published photographer, photo-illustrator and mixed-media fine artist. He creates art for nationwide corporate clients, and is in many private and institutional collections.

This workshop is for digital and traditional photographers and artists who want to make creatively expressive images using Adobe Photoshop.

This workshop is an unparalleled opportunity for the Pacific Northwest photographer who has been interested in the many high caliber photography workshops on the east coast, but found the cost for travel and accommodation to be prohibitive. Since the workshop is being held at Vancouver Photo Workshops in Vancouver, B.C. our American participants will find that the added bonus of exchange rates will make this a real treat resulting in excess of 14% (at time of this writing) off all your expenses in Canada.

Workshop course decription provided by David Julian himself:

This workshop is for digital and traditional photographers and artists who want to make creatively expressive images using Adobe Photoshop. This unique workshop is designed to combine the creative heart and imagination of the artist with the power of digital tools. To inspire us from the start, we will examine many darkroom and digital processes, narrative montages, vintage photographs and “toy camera” images, learning how they imbue artworks with unique beauty and a timeless aesthetic. Informed by this marriage of art & science and our shared discussions, you will transform existing images you bring along, create new images in the field and experience moments of spontaneous “beautiful invention”.

Through hands-on demonstrations of Photoshop’s most powerful tools, participants will learn my methods for creative flexibility and precise control. Be prepared to stretch, grow, experiment, learn, interact, have fun and get inspired! You’ll leave with new ideas, new images, new friends and renewed excitement for your personal artistic growth. A bound workbook and companion CD are provided.

During our workshop you will:

Find inspiration, generate ideas and express your innate creativity
Expand your craftsmanship with Photoshop
Discover new directions for your work
Shoot new images and work hard in the “Digital DimRoom”
Receive coaching and supportive critique
Gain more confidence with Photoshop

Participants should have at least intermediate Photoshop knowledge. Familiarity with the functions of layer and channel palettes and a grasp of selection methods will prepare you for our week. Bring any digital camera you know and like to use. Bring existing images you want to take further. Please inquire if you have any questions.
