Where to find Daniel teaching?

Silly Dog Studios isn't the only place to find me teaching or speaking. Here is a list of places to find me.

Photographic Center Northwest

For the spring quarter I am teaching three classes: Introduction to Lightroom, Fine art digital printing and Advanced Color Topics.

Photographic Center Northwest (PCNW) is an educational institution dedicated to facilitating creation, conversations, and experiences of significant photography. Through courses, exhibitions, lectures, and outreach projects, PCNW provides access to the photographic arts, to professional and amateur photographers, and to the public at large.

Advance Color Portfolio

The Advanced Color Projects course builds on the foundations that were established in Contemporary Color. The primary goal of the course is to create a single color project based on your vision and use of color photography as a means of expression. The course is designed to help you continually refine your understanding and use of meaningful color to create photographs and develop a cohesive project and/or portfolio. In addition to the project, the course also focuses on enhancing your skills critiquing and understanding color and color images. As such, this class requires the continued creation and sharing of new work throughout the quarter.

We will cover how Lightroom integrates with third-party programs such as Photoshop. Topics covered include: Importing, Exporting, Printing, every module in detail (Library, Develop, Map, Book, Print), color management, workflow, presets, digital asset management, collections, editing tools, third-party integration, Lightroom Mobile and more.
