mission statement The Los Angeles Center of Photography is dedicated to supporting

photographers and the photographic arts. LACP provides high-caliber classes,

local and travel workshops, exhibitions, screenings, lectures,

and community outreach efforts, including grants, need-based scholarships,

and focused programming for youth and low-income families.

letter from the executive director

Dear Friends,

Over the last 15 years, we have produced 29 catalogs. The kind of catalog that you could

hold and look through and flip the pages. But now with the savvy on-line world, we have

made a big decision. We will not be producing a paper catalog any longer, but rather this

on-line catalog. You can flip through it too, as the pages turn.

One year has passed since we transitioned into the Los Angeles Center of Photography,

with one milestone after another. We moved to a new specially-designed location. We had

a grand opening and first members’ exhibition. We held a silent auction fund raiser with

167 prints. We hosted many guest speakers, offered 150 classes and a few contests,

and worked on developing new plans to benefit our members and photo community.

An exciting new development is LACP’s collaboration with several Boys & Girls Clubs.

We’re sending LACP instructors to the Clubs to teach kids camera basics and how to

document their own lives. There will be an annual exhibit at LACP to show off this work.

We have new opportunities for members, including an on-line gallery on LACP’s website,

where we will post one person’s portfolio per month. In addition, we have plans to post

members’ news online once our new website is in place (which will be soon), as well as

produce a “Members’ Quarterly” publication.

The more money we raise, the more we can do! We have big plans. We hope you will be

part of them. You can start by becoming a LACP member so we can keep you abreast of

our ever-expanding array of opportunities.

Thank you for reading, and thanks for your support of the Los Angeles Center of Photography.

Sincerely,

Julia Dean, Executive Director

[Enrolling in the One-Year Professional Program] is the best decision I’ve made for myself in a very long

LACP staff and teachers are more than supportive community; they have become my social friends and what

I think of as family. I have reshaped my life and I’m readying myself to go out on my own and build a clientele.

Light, shadow, night and twilight are the building blocks of photography, a term that literally means, “to write with light.” These are the tools award-winning photogra-pher David H. Wells uses to make photo-essays exploring the light and atmosphere of places such as train stations, religious shrines and city centers. In this fun and explorative workshop, David will teach students the most effective way of incorpo-rating light, shadow, night and twilight in their image-making to produce unique characteristics and extraordinary results.

the Black and white master Print with george dewolfe

A masterpiece is the result of an artist’s individual authentic genius. That authenticity creates presence–the key element of an authentic masterpiece–and the final result of light working on the forms of an object or scene. The Black and White Master Print revives the idea of masterpiece. In this workshop students will use the tools and workflow in Lightroom and Photoshop that mines the intricacies of presence, the fundamental characteristic of a masterpiece.
