The chance to attend a Dan Winters workshop doesn’t come along very often (this will be the third in 10 years). The great photographer / illustrator will offer a special Master Class for the tenth Palm Springs Photo Festival. Few photographers have such a readily recognizable style of interpreting people in images as Dan Winters and few enjoy success in more than one domain – in Dan’s case, photography and illustration play important roles in his commercial output. Sought after by the country’s major magazines for decades, his style is a valued addition to magazines and advertising clients.

This workshop will begin on Monday, May 7th and with a group discussion/review, a unique discussion about photo history, process, awareness, the power of “Plan B” and what it’s like to be inside of a camera. This is not a class about technique. Having said that, as photographers technique is essential to our craft, so we will discuss materials and ways to use the tools that are at our disposal to make images that will hopefully challenge and compel. 

On Tuesday May 8th and Wednesday May 9th attendees will have the opportunity to photograph, edit and present work for the class. Discussions will be a driving force.

Recommended reading prior to attending: Why People Photograph by Robert Adams

Most of our work will be on location. My hope is that each participant leaves feeling, inspired, invigorated and with a better grasp on his or her own creative process.  -Dan Winters

Price: $1630.

Includes models, class transportation and a boxed lunch for each full day of the workshop.
