INTRODUCTION from Les Walkling

This is the eighteenth year that I have offered a weekend education program through the Centre for Contemporary Photography. Over this time a great many cultural and technological changes have taken place in the field of fine art and commercial photography. My research has contributed to this evolution and I hope that my courses continue to constructively help others integrate these momentous changes into their own theory and practice.

This year I am presenting seven weekend courses per term, three times a year, comprising introductory, intermediate and advanced courses. Together they cover a broad range of skills, including digital capture, exposure and lighting, RAW processing, creative image editing, digital printing, pictorial design, colour management and camera craft. All courses have been completely revised and updated for 2011, and include two new courses ‘The Digital Lightroom’ and ‘Lighting Composition’.

The courses are delivered through studio-based demonstrations, analytical investigations, practical applications, interaction and hands-on experimentation in a focused but entertaining manner. Discussion and analysis of the material being covered is actively facilitated, with aspects of photographic history and cultural theory also related to the work as critical practice.

While the courses can be studied sequentially across one or more terms, each course is also presented as a focused, self-contained body of knowledge that is then creatively adapted to individual needs. Each course is therefore a unique experience, that evolves from year to year, while the program overall is a comprehensive study of contemporary digital photographic practice.

Artists, photographers, designers, curators and others from across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, both professional and non-professional, attend these courses. Many people take and/or repeat the courses over a number of years, not only to update or extend their skills and knowledge, but also to benefit from the friendships, collaborations and networks that naturally develop out of this program.
