"Light Magik" by Alan Osterholtz (Free Limited Seating, 18+, BYOB)
2022-10-15 12:00 - 16:00 | Guerrilla Photo Group, 609 Gold Ave. SW, STE 2A, Albuquerque, NM, 87102, United States
Join us for a free workshop by the incomparable Alan Osterholtz and special guest model, Tiffany Berntsen. Watch and learn as Alan demonstrates his unique alternative capture processes leveraging slow shutter, light painting, painted backdrops, smart LED bars, and other creative tools. Many viewers are surprised to learn that Alan’s imagery is captured in a single frame, with real-world practical lighting and no compositing of any kind.
During this workshop, multiple projectors provide you with a live view of exactly what’s happening during the capture as well as a direct feed of the images from the camera. Take the opportunity for a glimpse into the mind of a true light alchemist, then stick around for an extended Q&A and to apply what you’ve learned yourself, with hands-on mentorship.
Schedule:
12:00pm-4:00pm – Lecture and presentation (limited seating, RSVP below)
4:00pm-8:00pm – Open Studio, (no RSVP required, but you can reserve your 30-minute practice slot here)

Health Warning: This workshop subjects the attendees to a darkened studio and includes moving/flashing/multicolored lights that may be disruptive to some people with epilepsy or other conditions of light sensitivity.

Parking
You’re parking downtown, so plan accordingly. On-street parking is widely available, with varying lengths of parking meter times, etc. There are also numerous nearby lots where, for a couple of bucks, one can park all day. The closest of these lots is almost across the street at the SE corner of Gold and 7th.
Arrival/Wayfinding
The studio is located on the of the north side of Gold Ave, on the second story of the building immediately west of the lovely Boese Brothers Brewery Patio. Sadly, the building long predates the ADA, so no elevator is present. Come in the front doors of the clearly marked “609” building, and up the flight of stairs to your right. We’re at the top of the stairs, double doors on your right!
