Digital Darkroom: Photoshop Workshop

photoshop

When silver halide crystals give way to pixels, Photoshop was quickly named as the darkroom antagonist, to eventually become the most used application in digital photography manipulation. Its use is nowadays so widely accepted that the name became a verb to be used to describe digital image alteration.

This is an intermediate to advanced course in Photoshop. Students must have a basic familiarity with the program. Techniques covered will include selections, merging, colour temperature and exposure shift, layers and masks. The aim of this workshop is to bring your skills in photoshop to the next level. Drills throughout the day will help students to better understand and remember the workflow process.

Teacher : Alberto Cosi
Alberto Cosi is an Italian-born photographer and graphic designer, and likes to play with light a lot. While working in Milan as secretary of a fashion designer he met a young Thai woman who was junior producer at Vogue magazine. After several visits to Chiang Mai over the past 25 years he decided to settle there permanently. During his exciting years in Milan he had the opportunity to work as assistant to such leading photographers as Arthur Elgort, Paolo Roversi, Maria Vittoria Backhaus and Torkil Gudnason. After deciding to take up commercial photography full-time he attended several workshops at Sinar and Broncolor, in Switzerland. He finds inspiration and the best means of self-expression in a dark studio, where he can control the light to give an object a new “soul.”
