Susan Bryant instructs 3 days of hands-on shooting in the field, creating cyanotypes, and hand-coloring black and white prints at South x Southeast Gallery, Molena, Georgia. We’ll ride the dirt roads, follow rivers, and visit private gardens finding the best shots. Susan will teach us about these techniques as well before leading us through the creation process.

The artist’s reception for Portraits in An Intimate Environment, curated by John Cary, will be held the evening before the workshop begins, Saturday, Sept. 10th; an opportunity to meet and visit with more fine art photographers.

The SlowExposures Photo Festival begins the following Thursday, September 15th.
