John Paul Caponigro > Digital Photography Workshops

Digital imaging is revolutionizing color photography and liberating color photographers in ways that have only been dreamed of. It is now possible to extend the range of color manipulation for photographers to levels that were previously only available to painters. There’s never been a better tool for controlling and exploring color than the computer.

You will ...

master the superior control of manipulating color digitally
develop a razor sharp eye for color accuracy
gain a greater appreciation for the naturalistic palette of nature and color interaction in the real world
manipulate color to enhance expression
control color so that it doesn’t overpower but rather compliments the content of an image
better understand the mechanics of human vision and how they influence our color perception
learn about the practice and theory of the color sciences and color arts
use color in new more powerful and sophisticated ways
realize how black and white photographers can benefit from color theory
clarify the relativitistic nature of color
better understand the subjective nature of color and your individual color biases and color preferences
familiarize yourself with the symbolism attached to colors by various cultures
find out why painters and photographers have a lot to learn from each other
expand your appreciation for other artists’ use of color
become alive to a world of color you never knew existed

We will develop two visions with one eye towards capturing realistic color and another eye toward enhancing color for a greater range of artistic expression.

This course is not just for photographers, it is for anyone working with color on the computer. Everyone will leave with a heightened sensitivity to and a greater understanding of color.

You want to discover new ways to work with color and harness its power for your personal expression.
