a deeper dive into digital photography


may 8 - 9, 12 - 3 pm, 326 5th street
JCAS is proud to host Haley Jane Samuelson to discuss her photography and the craft of digital photography. Seductive, storybook, and theatrical, Samuelson stages dreamy scenes, shooting them digitally. She masterfully alters some images to add an otherworldly overlay that seems to literally bring dreams to life. Her work points to Cindy Sherman and Sally Mann, yet retains a unique personality and essence.

This lecture is a precursor to a Digital Photography Workshop Samuelson is teaching at JCAS on May 1&2:

--A comprehensive overview of digital cameras and their capabilities

--Get hands-on techniques on how to take a great photograph

--Learn about color space, white balance, the in camera light meter, and the differences and advantage of shooting in various file formats
