The videos inspired me to attend one of Charlie’s workshops this past weekend. If you are the least bit impressed by the video, you will be blown away by the real thing.One warning, be prepared to work hard. First, he sends you a work book before class- 87 pages of exercises to be done before you go to class. Then there are three 12 hour days, where he demonstrates his techniques - on his own images first, and then on yours (with your help of course) As you do this, you make as many prints as you want, including a few big ones. You bring 10 prints to be critiqued, be sure to also bring the matching “raw” files, so you can work on them and reprint- you’ll have plenty of advice on improvements. This is not a class for beginners, so you will go there with your own workflow. One of the hardest but most beneficial things to do is to put your workflow aside and try to copy Charlie’s. Then go back to yours and change it as seems appropriate. I know I will be incorporating more use of photoshop in the future. Highly recommended!
