8:00am – 9:00am
Jack Hollingsworth

The iPhone, as a capture and editing device, is not only changing the conversation about photography, it is changing where the conversation is taking place…in the palm of your hand. There are over 12,000 camera and video apps in iTunes. SmartPhone photography is exploding at a frantic pace. Never, in the history of photography, has there been as much excitement about image-making as there is right now. The most used camera in the history of photography is the iPhone.

Photos and video rule the online world. Come on a global journey with 30-year career veteran photographer Jack Hollingsworth as he presents an inspiring and compelling case on why he believes that, when all is said and done, the iPhone will go down in history as the most influential image-creation tool ever manufactured…and a creative tool that all photographers, young and old, new and experienced, should passionately embrace.

In this session, you will learn insider secrets to creating spell-binding imagery, ‘best of class’ apps for photographers, editing tips that will make your work stand out, and a comprehensive list of resources, materials and supplies that will help you ‘raise your game’ in iPhoneography.

Jack Hollingsworth is an award winning, 30-year career veteran in commercial photography. His assignments, projects and personal work have gently carried him around the world. More recently, Jack has fallen in love with his iPhone camera as his primary capture tool. And he deeply believes that, when all is said and done, the iPhone may just be remembered as the most influential capture device ever in the history of photography. Hollingsworth is currently working on a long list of iPhoneography projects, including ebooks, podcasts, webinars, apps, workshops, and photo tours – all aimed at sharing his mission, vision and passion for iPhone photography.

The Fine Art of iPhoneography

10:30am – 12:00noon
Karen Divine and Cindy Patrick

In this information-packed 90-minute session, a world of possibility will be opened to you as two award-winning fine artists demonstrate how they use the iPhone and apps to create artistic images beyond your imagination. From Cindy Patrick’s expressionistic photo paintings to Karen Divine’s fantastical collages, you will learn how to unleash your creativity and use the iPhone as a tool for self expression. Each artist will demonstrate how she uses the iPhone, iPad, and a myriad of apps to create their art, which has been displayed in galleries and museums around the globe. You will learn the secrets of fusing, blending, and stacking apps to create amazing works of art in the palm of your hand!

Karen Divine was introduced to photography in the early 70′s and went on to study painting, drawing and alternative photographic processes. After learning Photoshop in 2001 she began creating the images she imagined using just photos and in the past two years transferred that process to the iPhone. While learning to create a beautiful single image is crucial to being a fine art photographer, the multi-image is what speaks to her heart. She tells her stories by compositing seemingly random images and watching them evolve. She has won numerous International Awards including Discovery of the Year with the International Photography Awards in NYC 2011, First Place in Florida Museum of Photographic Arts, Eyephonegraphy #3 in Madrid on Tour through Spain 2013, WPGA Pollux Award First Place, exhibitions in Atlanta, NYC, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boulder, CO, Texas Photographic Print Program, and the Center for Fine Art Photography just to name a few. Her most recent awards include First Place Cell Phone WPGA, 2012 IPA First Place Award, 2012 Prix de la Photographie Fist Place as well as interviews with CNN. Karen teaches creative iPhone classes and will teach at the Santa Fe Workshops in March 2013.

“I grew up around photography. When I was a kid, my dad and I would process Kodak Plus-X Pan that we’d shot in the bathroom after dark. Later in school, photography was something I took throughout junior high and high school.

“I’ve been shooting with an iPhone since I got my 2G in June of 2008. I loved the digital lo-fi qualities of the camera — the color qualities and the noise the 2G added to an image. I love how the iPhone’s camera is practically invisible. You can get the camera places that you cant do with other cameras without effecting the subject or the scene. Most recently, I’ve been shooting with an iPhone 5, but I still shoot occasionally with the 2G.”
