Free One-Day Photography Workshop for
High School Students
November 5th
We will be offering a Friday, full day workshop this fall, on November 5th for high school students. The workshop will be an introduction to studio portrait lighting. Students will learn to capture digital images while tethered to a computer, exploring a variety of studio lighting techniques and equipment, including studio strobes, grid spots, color gels, gobos and soft boxes. Technical areas covered will include digital camera operation, settings for capturing tethered, shooting RAW, background gradation and styling. We will shoot in the studio in the morning and then after we break for lunch return to the computer labs where we will print the images we shot in the morning. Each student will be able to take their printed images at the end of the day. We will supply everything they will need and lunch will be provided. There is very limited space, only 10 seats so please reserve your spot early.
The workshop is from 9:30 - 3:30pm. Workshops are free for high school juniors and seniors. Lunch and an attendance note for the participant's high school attendance office will be provided courtesy of the Westphal College. Registrants will receive a confirmation letter and more detailed information about the workshop including the days' agenda, information on where to arrive, and what supplies to bring, if any, prior to the date of the workshop.

Michael Froio - From the Main Line
Michael Froio will have an essay and selection of work from his ongoing project, From the Main Line included in the Center for Railroad Photography & Art's new book,
The Railroad and the Art of Place: An Anthology. The publication features a team of thirty contemporary and historical photographers—whose work is displayed across eighteen portfolios—who visually contemplate the visible and philosophical imprint of the railroad on the American landscape. Combined with lucid, literary essays by Kevin P. Keefe, former editor of Trains magazine, noted transportation historian Alexander B. Craghead, industrial historian Matt Kierstead, and the late Michael Flanagan (author of Stations: An Imaginary Journey) the book, conceived by David Kahler, is sure to set a new benchmark in the field of railroad photography and transportation studies. Since its founding in 1997, the Center for Railroad Photography & Art has been passionately committed to telling railroading’s stories through imagery: interpreting the past creatively, connecting it to the present while looking to the future.
