PARKING: Downtown on-street parking is widely available, with varying lengths of parking meter times, etc. Numerous nearby paid lots are available, the closest of which is almost across the street at the SE corner of Gold and 7th (currently $2/day.) As a reminder, City of Albuquerque Parking does charge on Saturdays until 6pm.
OTHER INFO: 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!

"Photon Fables and Shutter Trails" by Alan Osterholtz (Limited Seating, 18+, BYOB)
2024-10-19 12:00 - 16:00 | Guerrilla Photo Group, 609 Gold Ave. SW, STE 2A, Albuquerque, NM, 87102, United States
The incomparable Alan Osterholtz joins us for the fourth year running! 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. He’s joined again this year by the ever-enchanting model, Tiffany Berntsen. Their previous work together can be seen in numerous publications, and online channels.
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)
This event is 18+ only, BYOB (21+ to consume.)
Check out the FAQ’s or reach out if you have any questions.
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.
