Collective Vision: PCNW’S Auction Preview Exhibition
September 23-October 21, 2021
United by a desire to view the world through a lens, the artists and works in Collective Vision speak to the dichotomy of uniqueness within a shared medium.

Viewers are invited to consider each photograph’s beauty among the power of the collective. This auction preview exhibition highlights the artists that will be featured at our annual Benefit & Auction.

$135
This is a one–day workshop designed for beginners who want to shoot and process black and white film, but it can also serve as a refresher for anyone who is rekindling a relationship with the medium. Start off by shooting a roll of black and white film on your 35mm camera after an overview of how aperture, shutter speed and depth of field will affect your results. Then learn how to process your film and obtain negatives for printing.
Topics covered include:
Aperture, shutter speed, depth of field, and ISO: how do they work together?
Metering and shooting with a 35mm film camera
Film processing: how to turn exposed film into negatives for printing
Film developing chemistry, and how it works
Take this workshop in tandem with our Black & White Printing Basics workshop for a perfect two–day introduction or refresher to the beauty of black and white photography.

Portrait Photography: Light + Mood + Story
October 17, 2021 | Sunday 12:30pm-5:30pm
Faculty: Kate Hailey
$175
Join Kate Hailey for this one-day workshop to survey concepts in portrait photography both in the studio and in the field. From available light to continuous lights and speedlights, this will be an exploration into a multitude of techniques. Learn about composition, what to look for, what to avoid. Learn to use light to create mood and tell a story. The first portion of the session will take place in the studio at PCNW as Kate demonstrates working with lighting from the essentials to more creative techniques that push through tradition. We will cover essential concepts including Rembrandt, Split, beauty, high key, low key, rim light and more. Then we shift into more creative uses of light, to add color, mood, and story. Attendees will have access to a variety of types of lighting from Speedlights/Flashes to Continuous lights, Gels, lighting modifiers and more. Attendees will gain a firm understanding of these tools, how they work and how they can use them. Later in the session the group will work both in the Daylight Studio and venture outdoors near PCNW, as Kate demonstrates techniques for working in available light no matter the conditions. Kate will share tips on creating compelling compositions and making the most of a single location.

This is a one–day workshop designed for beginners in the Black and White darkroom, but it can also serve as a refresher for anyone who is rekindling a relationship with black and white darkroom processes. Bring negatives that you’ve processed (or had processed through a lab) and come explore the fun part: making prints! We’ll cover everything from the basic printing steps, to more advanced printing techniques like dodging, burning, and using filters. Most importantly you’ll have a chance to print in the darkroom alongside a seasoned pro who can lend personalized advice – every print is different, and requires special attention! You can become a better darkroom printer in hours with the assistance and feedback of one of our instructors.
