Description
Underwater Fine Art Portrait Photographer, Educator, WPPI Grand Master, and Canson Infinity Ambassador, Cheryl Walsh addresses the most important but rarely discussed product of being a true photographic artist: the final print. Cheryl will discuss how years of frustration with printing her own photographs drove her to find the answers to successful printing, contributed to her growth as a photographic artist, and ultimately has taken her business to the next level.

THE UNDERWATER FINE ART PORTRAITURE WORKSHOP
Join award winning, underwater, fine art, portrait photographer, Cheryl Walsh, for a look into her process photographing people underwater. She will share her philosophies on the art and science of underwater photography and the importance of addressing both before ever entering the water.
The class will consist of planning out an entire project from inception of idea to final printed photograph. Attendees will be able to view pre-recorded films of behind the scenes as the shoot progresses from multiple camera points of view. Cheryl will give live commentary. From poolside watch as Cheryl prepares her camera equipment, lighting, and pool for the shoot. Listen in as she talks her model through styling and posing during a shoot and hear her model give tips on underwater modeling. See how she lights her models and dramatically changes the look of her photos with simple changes.
View her RAW files, all the layers of a fully edited image, and discuss the importance of paper choice before seeing the final print.
There will be time at the end of the course for a question and answer period.
We will cover the following:
Art – Concept, shoot planning, models, styling
Science – Safety, pool prep, working in an ever changing environment

Anyone who has tried underwater photography knows that it’s far more challenging than it looks. If photography is an art and a science, then underwater photography is an art, a science and a science.

Her mastery of the science allows her to express her own unique artistic vision.

If you truly want to learn how to make a perfect print and take the frustration out of inkjet printing, you will not want to miss this! We want to help you and contribute to your success as a digital printmaker.
This is not intended as a FREE print service but as an educational opportunity and will be conducted as a workshop!

• Choosing the right monitor
• Monitor Calibration
• Selecting the right paper for your work that expresses your unique artistic signature
• Purchasing the printer that matches your needs
