An Evening with Eddie Soloway – June 13

Thursday, June 13th, 7:30 – 9:00 pm

The Julia Dean Photo Workshops, 755 Seward St, Los Angeles , CA 90038

Join us from 7:30-9:00 pm, Thursday, June 13th as photographer and storyteller Eddie Soloway returns to Julia Dean for “The Moment of Now, and Other Stories that Made a Difference”. In Eddie’s words, “Life is about gathering experiences. In early years, every day brings first time moments. The first time you saw a firefly, the first time you laughed so hard it hurt, the first time you shared a kiss. Photography, if we choose, can take us beyond a simple record, and into the realm of capturing the essence of a place, and the moment of now. Right now.”

Eddie Soloway’s photographs (www.eddiesoloway.com) are the expression of his passion and commitment to the natural world. His eye has developed during a lifetime of exploring the earth’s wild places. Former positions in educational workshop design, wilderness program development, and custom fine photographic printing have further honed his expertise. In 1998, Eddie was the first recipient of the Excellence in Photographic Teaching Award presented by the Santa Fe Center for Photography. Today he divides his time between making fine-art prints, teaching, speaking on creativity and the photographic life, and furthering photographic publishing projects. His first book, One Thousand Moons, was published in the summer of 2004, and his dvd, A Natural Eye: Big Sur was released in December, 2009. An impassioned teacher, Eddie brings experiences in nature, creativity, and photography to his workshops.

Street Shooting in Istanbul, Turkey with David Honl and Julia Dean

September 1 – 8, 2013
With David Honl and Julia Dean!

$2295*
*Enroll by May 31st for $1995 and save $300!!

Photo by David Honl

Lonely Planet (lonleyplanet.com) writes:
“Istanbul is hot. And we’re not talking about the weather. These days, there are more happening restaurants, bars, galleries and clubs around town than there are exquisite Ottoman mosques (and that’s a lot). The international fashion and design press have been talking up İstanbul ad nauseam, but the most significant thing about the accolade ‘World’s Hippest City’ is that İstanbullus themselves have come believe it. The creeping sense of decrepitude that had fallen like a pall over their once-all-powerful home town has vanished, replaced by a sense of energy and innovation not seen since the days of Süleyman the Magnificent.”

Join photojournalist David Honl and Julia Dean for a week of street shooting in Istanbul. This city is the place to go. The streets are teeming with people and energy.

Each day of this workshop includes shooting time, critiques, lectures and lunches. You’ll learn about historic and contemporary street shooters, as well as topics such as how to see light, how to find great backgrounds, the laws and ethics of shooting on the street, how to shoot candidly, how to capture the “decisive moment,” how to approach people, how to shoot from the hip, and a whole lot more.

Dave Honl, who spent five years living in Istanbul, will lead us to great shooting locations throughout the city. We’ll shoot at dawn, dusk, and all hours in between. There will also be private time with each instructor throughout the week.

An Evening with Joe McNally – May 9

Thursday, May 9th, 7:30 – 9:00 pm

The Julia Dean Photo Workshops, 755 Seward St, Los Angeles , CA 90038

Joe McNally is an internationally acclaimed photographer whose career has spanned 30 years and included assignments in over 60 countries. He has shot cover stories for TIME, Newsweek, Fortune, New York, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times Sunday Magazine, and Men’s Journal. He has been at various times in his career a contract photographer for Sports Illustrated, a staff photographer at LIFE, and, currently, an ongoing 25 year contributor to the National Geographic, shooting numerous cover stories for those publications. Joe was listed by American Photo as one of the 100 Most Important People in Photography and described by the magazine as “perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today”.  He has been honored as a member of Kodak-PDN Legends Online, as well as being a Nikon Legend Behind the Lens. In 2010, he was voted as one of the 30 most influential photographers of the decade in an industry wide Photo District News survey.

McNally won the first Alfred Eisenstaedt Award for Journalist Impact for a LIFE coverage titled “The Panorama of War.” He has also been honored numerous times by Communication Arts, PDN, Graphis, American Photo, POY, and The World Press Photo Foundation. In the aftermath of 9/11, McNally, using the world’s only life size Polaroid camera, created a project called “Faces of Ground Zero,” which traveled through 2002, became a book, and helped generate approximately $2 million dollars for the relief effort. It is considered by many museum and art professionals to be one of the most important artistic endeavors to evolve from the 9/11 tragedy. His fine art work is represented by the Monroe Gallery of Santa Fe, and his prints are in numerous collections, most significantly the National Portrait Gallery of the United States.

He shot the first all digital coverage in the history of the National Geographic, called “The Future of Flying,” a 32-page cover story commemorating the the centennial observance of the Wright Brothers’ flight. The coverage was deemed noteworthy enough that it has been incorporated into the archives of the Library of Congress.

McNally has written several books, two of which, The Moment It Clicks and The Hot Shoe Diaries, cracked Amazon’s top ten list of best sellers. His advertising and commercial clients include FedEx, Sony, Nikon, Land’s End, General Electric, MetLife, Adidas, American Ballet Theater, and the Wildlife Conservation Society.
