If you have a passion for the art of B/W photography whether you are a amateur or professional photographer and you are searching for a unique way of interpreting your work then I suggest you consider taking one of my bromoil workshops.

Reflecting back some 35 plus years ago, I too was searching for a distinctive way to express myself from following the herd! Most photographers at that time were following in the style of Ansel Adams (F-64 Group) or making a statement on the social aspects of society.

I was captivated by the pictorial movement and the photographers of the late 19 th. and early 20th century: P.H. Emerson, Leonard Misonne, Robert Demachy, Fred Judge, Col. Puyo, Paul L. Anderson just to name a few. This path first led me to the carbon and carbro process and finally bromoil and transfer. If you could turn back the clock in time, wouldn't you jump at the opportunity to study with at least one of the great master's of photography? Perhaps William Mortensen, Alfred Stieglitz, Man Ray, Fredrick Evans or Arthur Kales! 

Fortunately, I met and became very close friends with some 6  great  masters of the bromoil and transfer processes. They passed onto me the techniques that they had acquired from the pioneers of this rare art form. They also had many personal techniques that they had developed over the years which has proved invaluable to my own personal growth.

The only request they ever made of me, was that I pass on their techniques to individuals who had the same passion and integrity for the process that we have. I continue to fulfill this promise to them.

Arch Cape Photo Workshop

This year Linda Lapp-Murray and I will be offering a special two day workshop on how to create images for bromoil using either film or the digital camera. We will be photographing the landscape and historical sites along the Oregon and Washington coastal areas! Participants will have the opportunity to create bromoil images from this workshop. Contact Linda for a special rate for the two sessions.
