Introduction from Les Walkling

This is the nineteenth year that I have offered a weekend education program through the Centre for Contemporary Photography. Over this time a great many social and technological changes have taken place across all areas of photography; from hardware and software, to image capture, distribution and access, to employment, culture and inheritance. My research has contributed to this evolution and I hope that my courses continue to constructively help others integrate these momentous changes into their own photographic theory and practice.

This year I am presenting seven different weekend courses repeated regularly throughout the year, comprising twenty courses in total covering introductory, intermediate and advanced topics. Together they comprise a broad range of skills, from digital capture, exposure, lighting and camera craft, to RAW processing, creative image editing, digital printing, pictorial design, colour management, publishing, marketing and digital asset management. All courses have been revised and updated for 2012 to encompass and support an even wider range of interests, skills, applications and ambitions.

How are the courses presented?

The courses are delivered through studio-based demonstrations, analytical investigations, practical applications, interaction and hands-on experimentation in a focused but entertaining manner. Discussion and analysis of the material being covered is actively facilitated, with aspects of photographic history and cultural theory also related to the work as critical practice.

While the courses can be studied sequentially across one or more semesters, each course is also presented as a focused, self-contained body of knowledge that is then creatively adapted to individual needs. Each course is therefore a unique experience, that evolves from year to year, while the program overall is a comprehensive study of contemporary digital photographic practice.

Who are the courses for?

Artists, photographers, designers, curators and others from across Australia, New Zealand and Asia, both professional and nonprofessional, attend these courses. Many people take and/or repeat the courses over a number of years, not only to update or extend their skills and knowledge, but also to benefit from the friendships, collaborations and networks that naturally develop out of this program.
