Digital Lab Workshops

Dottie Lopez here. I am an assistant in The Digital Lab. I have had the honor of working with the Workshops for three years. During my first year, I worked as a seasonal course assistant. This job provided me with the opportunity to work with many of the top photographers who teach with the Workshops, such as Jay Maisel, Arthur Myerson, Bobbi Lane and many others.

During the past two years I have assisted many of the masters of digital imaging, such as Scott Kelby, George DeWolfe, Katrin Eismann and numerous others whom have taught everything from “Beginning Adobe Photoshop” to “Creating the Fine Art Digital Print.” With this experience, I would like to help you find the next workshop that is the perfect fit for you.

If you have taken “Beginning Adobe Photoshop” or “Photoshop: The Next Step”, sometimes it is tough to figure out what your next workshop should be. I am here to help you through that process. To start off, let’s take a look at some of the workshops held this coming summer season.

If learning how to fine-tune your print is where you would like to go, Jon Canfield is teaching “Digital Printmaking”, June 15th throught 21st. The goal of this workshop is to make the digital printing process as clear as possible and to achieve the prints we envision.

Or, if incorporating sound with your images is the path you would like to take, check out Bob Sacha’s workshop, “Visual Storytelling with Audio”, July 6th through 12th. You will explore and create this new kind of storytelling by learning how to add music, voices, interviews, narration, and ambient sounds to your images.

And, finally, if you are just learning how to create those photographs and want to take that first step to learn Adobe Photoshop, try Lesa Snider King’s workshop, “Beginning Photoshop”, July 13th through 19th.

I am happy to talk with you about any of the instructors and workshops I have assisted during my time at the workshops. Anything from teaching style to pace of instruction, and even whether or not they have a good sense of humor. Please feel free to contact me at the Workshops (505-983-1400 ext 17) or shoot me an email (dottie@santafeworkshops.com).

I look forward to hearing from you!
