Straight Print to Finished Print: The Untold Story

Chip will present before and after images (straight print and finished print) from his personal collection and from assignment work. His workshop students say that this is the most enjoyable and one of the most informative components of the workshops he teaches. When Chip took several workshops years ago, he always wanted to see the unworked images as the instructor showed his or her final prints. The digital capture (or the film image) is totally objective - it seldom communicates the emotional reaction we experience when we take the photograph. This is why students wonder why their photographs falls short of their expectations - what's missing is that emotional component. Working on the straight image in Photoshop, or the darkroom, is the route to bringing us back to what we felt when we took the photograph and having that emotion communicated through the finished image. Many people put a limited amount of work into an image and end up not being satisfied with the results - they are just not aware of how much can be done to communicate the emotion that caused them to press the shutter release in the first place. Ansel Adams was the inspiration for Chip's black and white landscape work and the spirit of his work will be present in this discussion.

Watched most of the ES presentations.
Chip's laid back, calm and friendly style made this one of my favorites.
Thank you.
One of the best B&H presentations to date. Very enjoyable.
Beautiful work and great photographer, one of my mentors.
Glad you liked the seminar. I do my own prints and use an Epson Stylus Pro 7900.
I never had a favorite photographer...until now...
Absolutely amazing images. I mostly shoot B&W portraits and wanted to get into landscape B&W so this is perfect.
Wonderful presentation. Great work.
Beautiful images, and presented in such an understated way - very enjoyable. Even more great images on your website as well -would love to know how you get the Tmax/ pyro to give such detail and with reciprocity giving grater contrast on long exposure wonder how its diluted /temp etc? Will be ordering some Tmax to try.
Excellent presentation and wonderful art work. I did not hear if you printed your own prints and if so, which printer are you using?
Thanks for your comments on the presentation. My "normal" work (short exposures, regular contrast) is developed in pyro (available at B&H - 2 part liquid from Photographer's Formulary) - it's a high acutance developer so it enhances sharpness. My night work and other high contrast work are given lots of exposure (supports detail in the shadows) then developed in TMas RS developer with a very dilute solution to reduce the contrast (bring down highlights). Any more ?'s let me know.
Does anyone know if Chip still does lectures/workshops/seminars?
Any idea of the photographer's name who took the Algeria photos at the end of this?
I will ask the collector who has researched the collection - I knew one of the photographer's names and didn't make a note of it.
