Exand Your Vision: Black and White Photography with Eileen Rafferty
November 9-12, 2017

Workshop Flyer

Tour Fee:
$395 CVPS member
$460 non-member (includes CVPS membership)

Join the Cuyahoga Valley Photo Society for a unique workshop with photographer and artist Eileen Rafferty to expand your photographic vision. Black and white photography has a rich and eclectic past and inspires and fascinates us today. 

In this workshop we will learn to see our color world in grayscale tones to craft a compelling black and white photograph; explore figures from photographic history for inspiration; and look at creative approaches to black and white photography. We will also have field shoots to practice black and white seeing, constructive critiques, and creative assignments to help guide you with your new vision! While there will be some demonstrations of converting to black and white in Lightroom, this is not a software workshop; the emphasis will be on seeing in black and white—while shooting—to strengthen your images and photographic vision.

Participants must be comfortable using their camera equipment and tripod, and downloading their images for critique. Participants are strongly encouraged to bring their own laptop with Lightroom installed. The workshop meets for a brief orientation the evening of November 9, then all day November 10, 11, and concludes by 5pm November 12. Classroom sessions will meet at Courtyard by Marriott - Stow.

The workshop fee is $395 CVPS member/ $460 non-member (non-member fee includes membership dues). A $225 deposit is required at registration with the balance due September 30. Fee does not include lodging, meals, or transportation.  To register, use the on-line registration system (register on-line) or call the Conservancy for CVNP: (330) 657-2909.  Questions? Please email workshops@cvps.org
