Bio:
Heart is a San Diego based photography collective centered around street, documentary, and photography as a medium for personal expression. As proud San Diegans and photographers we strive to contribute to a visual narrative that connects people across cultures and experiences. Heart believes it is not just how we see, but how we feel that truly gives a work its soul and we infuse this belief into our image-making processes, as the defining traits of the collective membership is a shared passion and drive to make authentic and dynamic photography that represents ourselves and our communities.

- 3pm - 5pm Freestyle’s Eric Joseph presents: World of Digital Printing Papers
Location: Escondido Arts Partnership (EAP) 262 E. Grand Ave, Escondido, 92025
Just to the west of The Photographer’s Eye
Presenter Statement:
I think we all agree the industry has done a relatively poor job of teaching us how to print as opposed to teaching us how to use our cameras, light our subjects, pose a model, or even how to take photos. Printing just as isn’t glamorous as some of those other topics so I think it often gets overlooked.
The reality is, making prints is the only way you can control what people see. It also enables you to truly show off your talent and ability as a photographer. Viewing an image on a computer screen, a cell phone or a tablet device doesn’t show the full measure of what you can do. Low-resolution images taken at high ISO will look fine on a cell phone. Prints are a much higher-resolution product, and the low-resolution pixels on a screen can’t compare. To me, the choice of paper is the critical factor enabling us to convey our unique artistic signature, even more so than what camera or printer you are using.
This workshop will address the one burning question in everyone’s mind, “What paper should I use to print my photographs on?”
The answer is not as simple as one would think. Sure, there are some quick and easy suggestions but what would be the fun in that? For those who really want to investigate this topic, this workshop is for you!
We will talk digital inkjet paper in all of its technical and aesthetic components that might help us make a decision about what specific paper to use vs. others. Archival permanence and what that concept means will certainly be part of the discussion. It all is part of the same conversation.
All questions are welcome. In my classes, there is no such thing as a dumb question. I have performed workshops and seminars at colleges, universities, galleries, commercial labs, organizations devoted to photo education, events, and trade shows all over the country for the past 10 years. I have been in a room filled with beginning photo students and the next day in a room filled with the top photographers in the world and guess what? They all ask the same questions when it comes to digital printing.
Live and in-person, I will show images from my personal portfolio offering insights and thoughts as to why I chose a specific paper to print that image on. For every image I intend to print, I make the decision as to what paper that image will be printed when I am composing the image, in camera. To me, the paper choice is a critical choice in creating images as I very much incorporate the unique personality and characteristics of specific papers into my composition.” – Eric Joseph
