Tip of the Week: Networking

As photographers, we focus on the photography side, but sometimes forget the other side of developing new relationships.  Here are a few ideas:

  1. Develope your own Network such as Twitter or Facebook.
  2. Be active in whatever networks you are involved in.
  3. Get a mentor, as you will learn from their experience.
  4. Follow up with the people you meet.

These are just a few ideas to start building your network.  For more ideas, and a indepth discussion of social networking, join us for our “Mastering Social Networking” workshop with David Saffir on March 10th for part 1 and March 17th for part 2.  Cost is $109 for both sessions.

New Workshop Series added “Child Photography Master Class”

Join well-known child photographer Autumn Hull as we present the Child Photography Master Class.  This is a five-day workshop covering absolutely everything you need to know about the business of child photography, including the business plan, marketing, branding, studio lighting, practice sessions, digital workflow, basic and advanced retouching and designing with Photoshop.

The best part is that you can customize this workshop to learn just what you want.  You can sign up for each day individually and only pay for the days you attend.  We keep the class size small, so you will always get all of your questions answered, and you won’t get lost in the crowd.  This series will be held at SCV Center for Photography.

Tip of the Week:Did you know…..

You hear a lot about the power of Adobe Camera RAW (ACR), but did you know you don’t have to shoot RAW to you use it? You can also open JPEG and TIFF files. Simply open Adobe Bridge, select the image you want to open in Adobe Camera RAW, then select “Open in Camera RAW…” from the file menu. (You can also press Ctrl-R in Windows or Cmd-R on a Mac.) You get all the non-destructive editing power of ACR, on your non-RAW images!

For more Photoshop ideas, sign up for our Photoshop 101 workshop series with David Green starting on Wednesday, February 13, 2010.

Tip of the Week: Use NiMH Batteries in your flash

If you use your off-camera flash a lot your going to go through batteries, so try using nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.  They recycle faster than alkaline batteries and you can recharge them quickly.

For more Flash tips and learning, sign up for our “Basics of Camera Flash” with Ron Brewer on Thursday, January 7th from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.

Photo Center Installation Features Traditional and Antique Photography

For the month of November, the Santa Clarita Center for Photography will be featuring “Silver Prints: A Survey of Traditional and Antique Photography” by local photographer and instructor, Tony Zinnanti. The installation features prints created from a variety of photographic techniques, including dry plate formulas from the 1800s and negatives produced with Zinnanti’s one hundred year old 8×10 camera.

While the Santa Clarita Valley Center for Photography largely centers around ever advancing digital technology, the center touts its expertise with traditional and fine art processes. Zinnanti’s personal darkroom is a satellite element of the photo center.

The installation, which consists of twelve hand printed black and white photos, features scenes of Santa Clarita, including haunting images of Mentryville cast from glass plate negatives.

The Santa Clarita Center for Photography is open for viewing during regular business hours, on weekends and by appointment.
