Improving the Photographic Nude and Digital Printing Workshop
Wildcat Hill and The Weston Collective
April 7-10, 2022
The Fine Art Models
The professional fine-art models at Wildcat Nude Photography Workshops are respected colleagues with whom Kim and Gina have worked for many years. The photographer to model ratio in each group is 3:1 allowing for maximum time, privacy, and freedom in each location.
Kim and Gina greatly value the relationships they have maintained with their models and will cover the importance of mutually respectful interactions to all workshop participants.
Edward Weston’s Wildcat Hill
For more than seventy years, photographers, artists, writers, poets, and their admirers have come to Wildcat Hill. Names like Ansel Adams, Ruth Bernhardt, Imogen Cunningham, Minor White, and Beaumont Newhall have admired its beauty and connection to the Weston family for nearly a century.
Our workshop participants are invited to photograph in multiple areas on the property including Kim Weston's studio, Bodie House, and the main house where Edward lived with his last wife, Charis Wilson. Participants may also photograph outdoors as weather permits.
The Weston Collective
The Weston Collective Headquarters in Seaside, California offers the community a unique opportunity to practice traditional black and white film photography. The darkroom consists of four enlargers, two eight foot sinks, stocked chemistry, and drying racks. There is an additional developing room that is separate from the darkroom enabling the ability of printing and developing to occur simultaneously.
We will be using The Weston Collective HQ as our meeting point to make high quality digital prints. The Collective is equipped with a Canon Pro 2000 that enables us to make the highest quality archival pigment prints.
