iPhone/iPad ART Workshop: Creative vision at its best!
Remember the days of Polaroid Instant film and Time Zero manipulations that gave you instant gratification? Well, that is a little like what iPhone/iPad photography does. The apps are incredibly creative and easy to use and very ingenious. You can take a shot and apply an app and have a unique image almost instantaneously.
Of course how you apply them and mix the various apps is another story. Blending of different apps to an image takes more time but it is fun and it is innovative. I am always astonished at the different ways each of our minds work and the different directions it can go when given a bag of artistic options such as “apps”.
To me, iPhone/iPad apps are just another tool in my toolbox to create images. There are no rules that say you can’t take an image created with an app into Photoshop and take it one or two steps further. These are all tools to be used to arrive at a final image. How you got there, no one cares, it is the final image that counts.
You will need either an iPhone or an iPad or both and a laptop.
A good point and shoot camera
A converted IR camera
I will send out info on getting a camera converted to take IR images. I will give out an information sheet with where to have your camera converted and my discount codes.
A week before the Class begins, I will send out a list of iPhone cameras to download to your iPhones and also a list of apps to download to your iPhones and/or iPads.
You should have my new book, “Digital Photo ART: New Dimensions”. This has a very large and descriptive chapter on Infrared photography. Sold at: Amazon.com: Online Shopping for Electronics, Apparel, Computers, Books, DVDs & more
