I’m excited to announce that I’ll be teaching my next Introduction to Large Format Photography group workshop in March 2011 with the Julia Dean Photo Workshops! The Julia Dean Photo Workshops (JDPW) is the West Coast’s largest and most practical education school of photography devoted to advancing the skills and increasing the personal enrichment of photographers of all experience levels and ages. They offer nearly 170 workshops per year, programming a variety of community events, and supporting artists through group and one-person gallery exhibits. In addition, JDPW offers workshops with and provides access to some of the most well-known and respected photographers in the world, including: Greg Gorman, Duane Michals, Mary Ellen Mark, Sam Abell, Douglas Kirkland, David Alan Harvey, Keith Carter, Phil Borges, Bruce Davidson, John Paul Caponigro, Alex Webb, Ron Haviv, James Nachtwey and more. It goes without saying that I’m very excited to have my name listed as an Instructor amongst these incredible photographer/teacher luminaries.
As the West Coast’s largest non-degree based school of photography, JDPW offers a broad range of coursework, with classes ranging from photojournalism and fine art photography to studio photography and portraiture. For students looking to become more involved in the photographic community, JDPW also provides yearly Membership Plans which provide numerous perks and benefits, such as: discounts on tuition, free admittance to events and guest lectures, credit towards a travel workshop and more.
My next Introduction to Large Format Photography workshop will be held at Joshua Tree National Park on March 12-13, 2011. For more information and registration, please see the JDPW website listing. Please let me know if you have any questions about this workshop. I hope to see you in Joshua Tree NP!

Hi
I would be interested to attend, but I do not have anything Larger Format than a Mamiya. I use a DSLR for all other shooting.
Is this OK
Thanks, Erik
Hi Erik: THANKS for your reply! Chamonix View Cameras sponsor my workshops, so I will have a couple of additional 4×5″ cameras available to loan. They will be available on a first come first served basis, and all workshop participants are eligible for discounts on Chamonix cameras and accessories.
I hope you can join me! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
