DEAR FRIENDS. Welcome to the seventh season of workshops by NORDphotography. It is true, “time does fly when you are having fun”.

I have the highest respect for creative people, and believe that developing a talent, no matter what level you are at, requires instructors that not only are great photographers but also equally great mentors and teachers of the craft.

We operate with small classes, to ensure a tight nit group, where each participant has enough space to grow and be heard. This combined with inspiring teachers that are generous with their knowledge, and passionate about helping new creative talent find their way, gives results. We have participants that have been accepted into grant programs, found gallery representation, been published and exhibited. And equally important, found their creative voice, which have led them to start producing powerful personal project.

This is what NORDphotography is all about.

Jeg har stor respekt for din kreative prosess, og min filosofi er at, skal du utvikle et talent, uansett nivå, så kreves det instruktører, som ikke bare er gode fotografer, men som også er dyktige mentorer og lærere.

Vi har små klasser, slik at det bygges tette nettverk, og hver deltaker får rom til å vokse og bli sett. Dette kombinert med en inspirerende lærere som er raus med sin kunnskap, og lidenskapelig opptatt av å hjelpe frem nye talent, gir resultater. Vi har deltakere som har blitt tildelt høyt hengende kunststipend, som har fått galleri representasjon, som er blitt publisert og utstilt.

Og like viktig, vi har deltakere som igjennom workshoper har funnet sin kreative stemme, og nå jobber med personlig prosjekt som betyr noe. Dette er hva NORDphotography handler om.

THE MENTOR PROGRAM - OSLO

A COLLABORATION BETWEEN CYAN: STUDIO, OSLO AND NORDPHOTOGRAPHY This is a mentorship program for photographers looking to develop a complete body of work within the length of the program. Lectures, discussions and critique of student work will be the structure of the program. For our creative assignments we will find inspiration in “The Photographers Playbook” and Julia Cameron’s beloved book “The Artist Way”.

The program will help discover, develop and fine-tune each photographer’s creative voice. You should come to the mentor program with an idea of a project. It can be an old project you want to finish, or a new project you want to create.

We will meet 8 times throughout the year for lecture and group critique. The lecture will be tailored to each participant’s project, to give inspiration and guidance for further development. During this mentorprogram you will learn to develop a cohesive body of work, present work in a professional matter, critique other photographers work, respond to critique of your own work, and the process of planning and hanging an exhibit.

The program will result in a group exhibit at Cyan Gallery in February 2017.

STUDIO ST PETERSBURG

TANYA YERMOLAYEV / ELISABETH N AANES IN TRIBUTE OF DEBORAH TURBEVILLE Find inspiration in Deborah Turbeville’s work and expand your vision. We will celebrate one of the most iconic artists in photography by emerging ourselves in her universe.

The workshop will take place in St Petersburg, Russia. A city which inspired Turbeville immensely, and was the backdrop of Turbeville’s book Studio St Petersburg. St Petersburg was also the location for several of Turbeville’s fashion stories.

This is a unique opportunity to experience first hand some of Turbeville’s favorite locations for shooting her iconic imagery. We will explore her work, look at her books, listen to recordings of her lectures, and find inspiration in her favorite films. We shoot at exclusive locations, have a local make-up team at hand, and will be working with models/dancers that have that Turbeville quality.

Our Russian collaborator is art historian Tanya Yermolayev who has been the producer behind most of Turbeville’s work in Russia.

DATES: TUITION: LOCATION:

March 4-11, 2016 NOK 9.200,St Petersburg, Russia

NORDphotography inviterer til en inspirasjons workshop i St Petersburg, dedikert til vår foreleser Deborah Turbeville, som gikk bort i slutten av 2013.

Dette blir en unik mulighet til å gå i Turbeville’s fotspor, og oppleve noen av hennes favorittsteder i dette sagnomsuste landet.

Gjennom uken workshopen varer vil vi se mye fotografi fra Turbeville, vi vil studere hennes bøker, og høre henne forelese gjennom opptakene som ble gjort på NORDphotography’s workshop i 2012, samt få et innblikk “behind the scenes”.

Workshopen finner sted i St. Petersburg, Russland.

En by som inspirerte Turbeville umåtelig, og som dannet bakteppet for hennes kjente bok Studio St Petersburg. St Petersburg var også stedet for flere av Turbeville’s mest kjente moteserier. Vi vil fotografere på nye sted hver dag, og i omgivelser som Deborah selv har brukt og blitt inspirert av. Vi jobber med et lokalt make-up team, og modeller/ dansere, som har det typiske Turbeville utseende.

Vår Russiske samarbeidspartner er kunsthistoriker Tanya Yermolayev, som har vœrt produsent på de fleste fotoprosjekter Deborah har utført i Russland.

THE PERSONAL APPROACH CIG HARVEY

GAIN CREATIVE GROWTH WITH CIG IN ICELAND Our 2016 workshop with Cig Harvey will take place in Iceland. The workshop theme is the same, but with new scenery, there are grand possibilities to stretch your talent, gain new perspective, and creative growth.

Vår workshop med Cig Harvey i 2016 vil finne sted på sagaøya Island. Tema på workshopen er det samme som før, men vi har valgt et nytt miljø og landskap, for å tøye ditt talent, og gi deg nytt perspektiv og ny mulighet til kreativ vekst.

The focus is still to find your own unique voice, and to understand where your ideas and ultimately your work are coming from. There is a connection between your interests, your passions, your life experience, the way you see the world, and how you photograph. During our week together you will discover the power of that connection.

Hva er unikt med din måte og se på. Hvor kommer ideene dine fra, som til slutt blir til bilder. Fokus på workshopen er å finne deg selv i fotografiet. Det er en sammenheng mellom dine interesser, din lidenskap, dine erfaringer, måten du ser verden på, og hvordan du fotograferer. Denne workshopen handler om å oppdage denne mektige forbindelsen.

There will be daily discussions, written exercises, and reviews of work in progress, as well as individual assignments designed to help participants hone their abilities to recognize and capture emotional content and create memorable images. We will seek out different locations in Iceland, which will feed into the student ideas and projects. Participants will leave this workshop with a new perspective, having approached photography from a personal point, and experienced how that can guide the way to creating powerful and truthful projects.

Det blir daglige diskusjoner, skriftlige oppgaver, og kontinuerlig vurderinger av pågående arbeid. Det blir gitt individuelle oppgaver designet for å hjelpe deltakerne finpusse sine evner til å gjenkjenne og fange følelsesmessig innhold og skape minneverdige bilder. Vi vil utforske det Island har å by på, og fotografere på steder som vil drive frem deltakernes ideer og prosjekter.

WET PLATE COLLODION AND ALBUMEN PRINTING JILL ENFIELD

The collodion process, invented in 1850, was the first widely used photographic process that produced a negative image on a transparent photographic medium. Other methods of the time, such as the Daguerreotype, produced a one-of-a-kind positive image. With the collodion process, the photographer could make an unlimited number of prints from a single negative.

This workshop will take you back to the beginning and teach you to create glass negatives and tintypes using wet plate techniques. Our instructor Jill Enfield, who has written two books on the subject, is regarded as one of America’s most experienced and respected alternative process artists.

The workshop will cover the entire process from cutting and preparing glass & aluminum, mixing and handling chemicals, safety procedures, making portable darkrooms, assessment of exposure time, evaluation of results, and all that goes into mastering wet plate collodion and albumen printing. From the glass negative we will learn to produce a print using the albumen technique, which was the first commercially exploitable method of producing a photographic print on a paper base from a negative.

Våt Plate Collodion sies å ha blitt oppfunnet i ca 1850, var den første allment brukte fotografiske prosessen som produserte et negativt bilde på en gjennomsiktig fotografisk medium. Andre fremgangsmåter, slik som Daguerreotypiprosessen, produserte et unikt positivt bilde, men da uten mulighet til å reprodusere det. Collodion prosessen hadde mange fordeler da den kom, og en av dem var at man kunne lage et ubegrenset antall utskrifter fra en enkelt negativ.

Denne workshopen vil ta deg tilbake til begynnelsen, og lære deg å lage glass negativer og tin positiver ved hjelp av våte plate teknikker fra 1860-tallet.

Vår instruktør Jill Enfield, har skrevet to bøker om emnet, og regnes som en av USAs mest erfarne og respekterte alternative prosess kunstnere.

Workshopen vil dekke hele prosessen fra å kutte og forberede glass og aluminium, miksing og håndtering av kjemikalier, sikkerhetsprosedyrer, oppsett av bærbart mørkerom, vurdering av eksponeringstiden, evaluering av resultater, og alt som hører med for å mestre våtplate og albumen teknikken. Fra glass negativet vil vi, ved bruk av albumen teknikken, lage en utskrift av bildet. Denne teknikken var den første kommersielle fremgangsmåten for kopiering av bilder på papir.

THE NUDE AS FORM CONNIE IMBODEN

Our vision is so often limited by what we know that we see - what we expect to see - instead of what is actually in front of us. This can be particularly challenging when photographing the nude, a subject dominated by preconceptions. The nude, more than any other subject, is the most popular in the history of art, and possibly the most controversial.

Vår visjon er så ofte begrenset av hva vi vet at vi ser - det vi forventer å se - i stedet for hva som faktisk er foran oss. Dette er spesielt gjeldene når det kommer til akt fotografering, et emne som er dominert av fordommer. Akt er mer enn noe annet, et omstridt tema, og følgelig det mest populære i kunsthistorien, og det mest kontroversielle.

We already have a myriad of preconceptions as to what a nude should look like, what is a beautiful nude, what is appropriate, what is not appropriate, what is tasteless, what is offensive, and so on. All of this contributes to the nude as an incredibly powerful and popular subject, while at the same time an extremely challenging one and difficult to see in an original way.

Vi har allerede en jungel av fordommer om hvordan en naken kropp skal se ut. Hva er vakkert, hva som er greit, hva som er ugreit, hva som er smakløst, hva er støtende, og så videre. Alt dette bidrar til at nakenhet er et utrolig virkningsfullt og populært tema. På samme tid ekstremt utfordrende og vanskelig å se på en original måte.

Through exercises, assignments, and discussions, the goal of this workshop is to learn to use the camera as a tool to discover new ways of looking at and interpreting the human form. By looking at it as form, we will learn to develop an intuitive visual approach in photographing the body in order to see it in a new way and be truly original with this most popular subject.

DATES: TUITION: LOCATION:

Gjennom kreative øvelser, oppgaver og diskusjoner, vil du lœre og bruke kameraet som et verktøy for å oppdage nye måter å se og tolke menneskelig form på. Ved å se kroppen som en form, vil vi utvikle en intuitiv visuell tilnærming. Vi vil se med nye øyner og på det viset finne det originale, i det mest populære oppbrukte temaet i kunsten.

THE SHADOW SCULPTOR WILLIAM ROPP

PAINTING WITH LIGHT - A PORTRAIT WORKSHOP William Ropp is known for his unique style, where his images are so dimensional and expressive that they look like they are sculpted from shadow and light. His portraits often evoke the feeling that it is the person in the image who is observing the viewer, not the other way around. When you add in the quality of light in his images, it is easy to understand why his work has grabbed the art-worlds attention.

William Ropp er kjent for sin unike stil, hvor bildene hans er så dimensjonale og uttrykksfulle at de ser ut som de er skulpturert fra skygge og lys. Hans portretter gir ofte en følelse av at personen på bildet ser på betrakteren, og ikke omvendt. Legger du til kvaliteten på lyset, så er det ikke overraskende at Williams arbeider fanger stor interesse i kunst miljøer.

This is a workshop for photographers whom want to push their portrait skills to a new level. Participants will learn how to create amazing and different portraits using William’s flashlight technique and his special approach in Photoshop. The workshop will be a combination of lectures, demonstration of techniques, photographing with local models, editing and retouching.

Dette er en workshop for fotografer som ønsker å ta sine portretter til et nytt nivå. Deltakerne vil lære å skape fantastiske og annerledes portretter ved å ta i bruk Williams spesielle lys-teknikk og hans tilnærming i Photoshop. Workshopen vil være en kombinasjon av forelesninger, demonstrasjon av teknikker, fotografering av lokale modeller, redigering og retusjering. William er også kjent for sine mange kunstbøker, og noen vil bli presentert under seminaret.

You will also gain an insight into his specific approach regarding the portrait; how he treats his models to get them to feel at ease and safe, and how just with a short talk he helps them to open up to the photographer so it is possible to “see the soul mirrored in their eyes”.

DATES: TUITION: LOCATION:

Du vil også få et innblikk i hans tilnærming angående portrett; hvordan han behandler sine modeller for å få dem til å føle seg vel og trygg, og hvordan han med en kort samtale hjelper dem til å åpne seg for fotografen, så det er mulig å “se inn i sjelens speil”.

THE IMPULSIVE (INTIMATE) PORTRAIT JUST LOOMIS

Join us for an intensive four-day workshop with American Photographer Just Loomis. An intimate portrait happens when the photographer chooses a subject that they connect with on an emotional level. This workshop is about practicing approaching strangers, creating a relationship with your subject, and getting a powerful portrait in return.

We will practise on local people, that will be available at SAGA, in the beginning of the workshop to build our confidence; before we head out on our mission to photograph strangers we meet.

Just will accompany each participant in the field and make suggestions as how to identify subjects and overcome the fear of approaching strangers. Just will also demonstration how to see and work with natural light.

Having worked with the prolific Helmut Newton, Just will offer students his unique perspective on the art of photography. This is a workshop suited for photographers on all levels.

October 6-9 5.900,SAGA – Inderøy - Norway

Bli med oss på en intensiv fire-dagers workshop med amerikanske fotografen Just Loomis. Å ta nœre portrett av ukjente personer krever mye av fotografen. Man bør velge subjekter man kjenner en fasinasjon eller forbindelse med. Noen som treffer deg på et følelsesmessig nivå. Denne workshopen handler om dette møtet, om å fotografere fremmede, hvor du er nødt til, på kort tid, å skape en forbindelse, skal du få et godt portrett i retur.

Vi vil teste oss på lokale folk som er tilgjengelige for oss på SAGA, slik at vi bygger opp vår selvtillit, før vi drar ut i felten for å fotografere fremmede vi møter.

Just vil følge hver deltaker på veien, og komme med forslag på hvordan man går frem for å velge rette person å kontakte, samt overvinne frykten de fleste av oss har, på å fotografere fremmede.

Just vil også demonstrasjonen hvordan finne og arbeide med naturlig lys.

Etter sin tid med den legendariske Amerikanske fotografen Helmut Newton, har Just oppnådd et unikt perspektiv på kunsten å fotografere, som deltakerne vil dra nytte av. Dette er en workshop som passer for fotografer på alle nivåer.

THE AUTUMN LANDSCAPE EDDIE SOLOWAY

EXPERIENCE AND PHOTOGRAPH NATURE IN NEW AND EXCITING WAYS Our fall workshop with nature photographer Eddie Soloway is designed to push participants from seeing what’s right in front of their eyes, into the world of abstractions, reflections, layers, movement, and then deeper into the realm of concepts and imagination.

During the workshop, outdoor experiences in local natural areas take participants through important steps to enriching their photographs of the natural world as they find themselves focused less on objects and things, and more on the magic of moments and the essence of places.

This is a workshop suited for all levels. Our goal is to strengthen your skill, and develop your eye so you are able to create stunning images of nature, as you see and experience it.

This workshop weaves together eye-opening outdoor experiences, technical lessons, image reviews, and Eddie’s one-on-one meetings with each participant.

På vår workshop “The Autumn Landscape” med landskapsfotograf Eddie Soloway vil vi søke å utvikle hva vi ser først, og deretter bringe inn de tekniske ferdighetene. Deltakerne vil få kreative oppgaver som er ment å trene blikket til å se og oppleve naturen fra et nytt ståsted. I steden for å se det som er rett foran deg, så vil du etterhvert begynne å se naturen som et abstrakt kunstverk med fokus på farger, former, refleksjoner, lag, bevegelse. Et nytt landskap blir synlig hvor konsepter og fantasi får fri flyt.

I løpet av uken vil flotte naturopplevelser i landskapet på Inderøy ta deltakerne gradvis vekk fra det å se på naturen, til å føle naturen, oppleve dens magi og skjørhet. Du vil slutte med å jakte på lyset og heller nyte gleden av å skape kunst i landskap.

Dette er en workshop for alle nivå. Vårt mål er at du skal styrke dine bilder gjennom å bruke alle sansene, slik at bildene som skapes formidler en opplevelse av DITT landskap.

Denne workshopen vever sammen storslåtte naturopplevelser, tekniske leksjoner, bilde kritikker og one-on-one oppfølging fra foreleser Eddie.

ICELAND Iceland is a country of sharp contrasts. A place where fire and ice co-exist. Where dark winters are offset by the summer’s midnight sun. The country is also known for its great variety in scenery and landscape.

Iceland was the last European country to be settled, mostly by Norsemen in the 9th and 10th centuries. They came mainly from Norway and elsewhere in Scandinavia, and from the Norse settlements in the British Isles, from where a Celtic element was also introduced. The language and culture of Iceland were predominantly Scandinavian from the outset, but there are traces of Celtic influence in some of the ancient poetry, in some personal names and in the apperance of present-day Icelanders.

Iceland is our newest destination, and we will start our journey there with a workshop with the acclaimed American Photographer Cig Harvey.
