His foundation as a painter, sculptor and craftsman add tremendously to his photography experience and his ability to teach classical composition and lighting techniques. In the one-on-one critique sessions, Adam is direct, honest and extremely constructive (and sometimes downright hilarious), getting participants to reach a new level of self-reflectance in their photography. By the end of the workshop, you'll find yourself hearing his critiques in your head as you frame prospective images. As a result, in just a week you'll approach composition and image making from a new perspective and find yourself able to easily identify your strongest photos, while avoiding past mistakes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout David\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDavid grew up in a professional photo lab and has been behind the camera and in the darkroom since he was seven years old. In 1990, he started using Photoshop and was an early adopter of high-end film scanning, color management, pre-press and retouching, and later served as a consultant to Kodak in creating the first digital minilab. He takes a results-oriented approach to post processing, opting for a focus on maximizing image quality with as few steps as necessary. Join him as he strips away some of the common misconceptions surrounding image processing. With his workflow, David will show you how to unlock the full potential of your Leica digital camera, with the least amount of work. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat to expect\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you would like to know what to expect, just read these testimonials from past workshops:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“I did not really think it was possible. Try this: go to the British Museum, find a staircase with good light (it happens to be on the left as you enter the museum) stay there for 2 hours and take pictures and chat with people as they pass by.  If you are with Adam, very quickly it becomes a routine; find the light, take the pictures.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHe has an uncanny ability to walk you through a scene and make you see the light. Along the way you get tips on adjusting your settings –  f-stop, shutter speed, exposure compensation, and such. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSuddenly, you are a much better photographer than before.  Interestingly, this realization will hit you when you start looking at your pictures on the computer and you will be proud of yourself for a few minutes, until you see Adam’s pictures.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJee Teck Tan,  Florence 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“The workshop in Prague brought me to a new level of photographic appreciation. Your criticism based on sound artistic concepts and comparison with masters like Cartier-Bresson were particularly enlightening, opening a path to more discerning evaluation on the interaction of light, subject and technique.  Street photography and portraiture were exciting discoveries, with challenging new environment and equipment.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Bertoni, Prague 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Adam offers participants an increased self-awareness on observation.  His approach focuses on a continuity of factors (in this case art and photography.) I found it influential not only as a photographer but also as an architect—perhaps a Renaissance approach. Something that in our contemporary lives is often ignored.” \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArturo Rojas,  Prague Workshop 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCancellation Policy\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe rely on your attendance to make important arrangements, so if for any reason you need to withdraw from a workshop, please notify us in writing (email is acceptable) at least 45 days before the start of your workshop. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the event that a workshop must be canceled due to inadequate enrollment, all fees will be refunded in full or may be transferred to another workshop within 24 months.
