We hope to welcome you at our next event!
This two-hour tour of the iPhone camera and the Apple editing suite will increase your understanding and proficiency in using the factory-installed tools in these phones. Topics we will cover include RAW vs. HEIC, Capturing in RAW Mode, Megapixels, Portrait Mode, Live Mode, and Apple’s Editing Suite.
If time allows for it, we will explore some of my favorite photography apps (including Halide, Tintype, Hipstamatic Pro Cam, Era, Shakeit Photo, Even Longer, I Love Film) and other tools I use to expand the camera’s capabilities.
The capabilities of the sensors in these iPhone cameras have become so good that it has become my primary travel camera. When working professionally I continue to work with a medium-format Fuji kit to make my 30 x 40-inch platinum prints. However, I can make exhibit-quality platinum prints up to 10 x 14 inches from images shot on my iPhone.
Bring your curiosity and your questions to this Zoom class on January 30, 2025. I look forward to seeing you!
About Tillman: Tillman Crane’s distinctive platinum photographs combine 19th century materials with a 21st century aesthetic. From photojournalist to teacher and artist he has honed his technique and mastered his craft over the past 35 years. He made his first platinum print in 1987 and since 2001 his work has been exclusively shown as platinum prints. He works with 5×7, 8×10 and 5×12 view cameras. Today’s images focus on the unique sense of place he finds in the ordinary, everyday locations where he lives and teaches.
Tillman has published four limited edition books: Tillman Crane/Structure (2001), Touchstones (2005), Odin Stone(2008), and A Walk Along the Jordan (2009). For the discriminating collector, Tillman collaborates using images of your choice to create one-of-a-kind handmade books of platinum prints.
A skilled teacher, his workshops offer a variety of locations for all levels of expertise and camera formats. Tillman holds workshops throughout the U.S., U.K. and China. If the workshop schedule doesn’t meet your needs let him customize a one-on-one tutorial of your design.

Color: Directing the Eye and Influencing People
Color is one of the most important elements in photography. As it’s been said, “It’s easier to make color look good, but harder to make it service the story.” In this class, Chris explores color from hue, saturation, and luminosity to harmonies, discordance, why we feel certain ways about color and where that comes from. He demonstrates how color helps tell your story and how to create and use it in a variety of ways. Color strengthens, binds, and elevates imagery - after this class, you’ll be able to harness it more effectively in your own work.
The Psychology of the Portrait
If you think that a portrait is primarily about lighting and apertures, then you are missing out what makes a portrait truly great! Join Chris Knight in a deep dive into the powerful interplay of the psychological and technical elements of portraiture that can help your images be more than skin deep. You’ll learn how to find the best angle, optimal lens choice, top posing tips, the power of composition, wardrobe guidelines, and (of course) lighting. Whether working with streamlined, 'beginner' gear on location or a studio packed with professional gear, this class will help you improve how you think about and execute your portrait work.
ABOUT CHRIS KNIGHT:
Chris Knight was born in Wiesbaden, Germany and hardened by the sweaty, nearly chewable, humidity of Florida. He combines his unconditional love of art history with his conditional love of technology, topping it off with a flair for the cinematic and an uncompromising eye for detail.
His work has appeared in or on Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, L Official, GQ, People, MSNBC, ABC, Oxygen, Ocean Drive, and others.
Chris is the author of The Dramatic Portrait, a Profoto Legend of Light, Fujifilm Creator, and an instructor at Pratt Institute as well as the New York Film Academy.
