Lauren Greenfield: The Documentary Hybrid: Photography + Filmmaking
Oct. 27, 3:30 to 5:30 PM
Description: As the future of print remains in question and the online presence of magazines and newspapers becomes more important, photographers need to consider how to harness new media, video and audio to enhance their photographic work and creative vision. Lauren Greenfield will lecture about her long-term documentary projects and her progression into film for creative impact and educational reach. In that context, she will show her evolution as a documentarian working within the varied platforms of documentary filmmaking, commercial directing, and multimedia producing, as well as the traditional but diversified outlets of magazines, books and museums. Greenfield will discuss the making of her commercials, documentary films and multimedia work; the relationship between her films (THIN, Kids + Money, Beauty Culture) and her photography, as well as how video and multimedia can deepen the narrative and provide access to a wider audience and a broader spectrum of commercial clients. She will also discuss the synergy of video and still cameras and the technical crossover possible with both. A presentation of Greenfield’s work in film, photography and multimedia will be followed by a Q&A.

Doug Menuez: Creative Longevity: A Conversation with Four Living Masters
Oct. 27, 3:30 to 5:30 PM
Description: Doug Menuez will moderate a discussion with master photographers Douglas Kirkland, Duane Michals, Jay Maisel and Mary Ellen Mark, exploring the challenges they’ve wrestled with and overcome over many decades to build extraordinary careers. The audience will hear personal views on how to create and sustain a satisfying and rewarding creative life in photography over the long haul. The youngest of these shooters has a career of more than 45 years, the oldest more than 60. Incredible! How did they do it? What decisions did they make early on that set the foundations? Did they ever think about the long term? Did they just have natural integrity and say no to things that were not right for them, or did they learn over time to choose for themselves what was appropriate and productive? What mistakes can younger photographers avoid? How do they see the future of photography, especially in light of all the digital changes, challenges to copyright and the massive influx of new photographers? The answers will undoubtedly surprise us, while hopefully inspiring those of us on the journey to continue with a renewed sense of purpose.

Art Streiber: The Big Picture: Editorial Photography Behind the Scenes
Oct. 28, 8:45 to 11:45 AM
Description: What does it take to produce a photo shoot for the nation’s top magazines? What goes on behind the scenes during pre-production, on the shoot and in post-production? How do those production details scale up if you’re shooting eight, twenty-three or thirty-five subjects? And what are the key technology pieces that enable the pace of editorial work? In this three-hour seminar, Streiber will pull back the curtain on his published images and discuss every facet of editorial production?from getting the assignment to negotiating through the creative process to the importance of custom printing, color correction and post-production for the final look you want with digital delivery. The nuts and bolts of production will also be covered, with attention to subjects such as hammering out preproduction details, on-set digital practices and the on-line editing process, macro and micro managing the set and the people skills necessary to deal with both crew and talent. Finished images will be shown, as published in TIME, Entertainment Weekly and Vanity Fair and behind-the-scenes photos will reveal how the shoots came together. This seminar is ideal for beginning and intermediate photographers, as well as advanced shooters who are interested in fine-tuning their production process.
