Black and White: Capture to Print with Susan Hayre Thelwell

Susan leads the Black and White: Capture to Print workshop this September 22-26 in Santa Fe. Explore northern New Mexico’s distinctive light, expansive landscape, and unique culture in this dynamic workshop for beginning digital photographers. The American Southwest holds a prominent place in the genre of black-and-white photography. This workshop is an opportunity to study the region’s master black-and-white photographers and to learn how light influences every step in the process, from the initial digital exposure to the final ink-jet print. Balancing time in the field and the digital darkroom, we immerse ourselves in making photographs, whether they are landscapes, portraits, or documentary images.

Digital Lab Assistant Susan Hayre Thelwell had work selected by Kathy Ryan of The New York Times Magazine for inclusion into the American Photography 24 Annual. The winning black and white image also appears on (dis)TRIBUTE, the web gallery at ai-ap.com.

She studied photography at Rockport College and worked as a course assistant at the Maine Photography Workshops before joining the digital lab staff at the Santa Fe Photographic Workshops in the spring of 2007. She has studied with Debbie Fleming Caffery, George DeWolfe, and Craig Stevens, among others.

Susan’s personal work includes an ongoing black-and-white documentary project, “Mitchell’s Lot.” Her Web site address is www.susanhayrethelwell.com.
