Overview

Shave years off the learning curve of advancing your practice of Platinum Printing with this exceptional workshop taught by a master with decades of experience.

SPRING 2024 - March 6-9
Spring is a glorious time of year in Yosemite Valley. By this time the meadows and deciduous trees have “greened up”, the waterfalls are still in full swing, and the weather can range from dramatic evaporation clouds to glorious afternoon sunshine. Depending on the snow year, there may still be water in the meadows, and the late dogwoods will still be showy. Participants will have an insider’s guide to photographing Yosemite Valley with a staff photographer from The Ansel Adams Gallery.

Currently the QCDN software by Richard Boutwell and Epson printers is only available for the MAC Operating System.

About the Instructor


Kerik Kouklis

KERIK KOUKLIS is a fine art and documentary photographer based in the Sierra foothills who has been involved in creating hand-made photographs since his father set up a darkroom in the basement when he was 12. Born and raised in California with a background in music and geology, Kerik combines a contemporary eye with 19th, 20th and 21st Century processes to produce work that is uniquely his own. He has used these processes to create his work since 1990 and has been teaching workshops in these processes since 1997, both in his home studio and at various locations around the US, Canada and the UK. In 2017 Kerik began working in color by combining inkjet pigments with palladium printing. These prints are reminiscent of hand-colored photographs from the late 1800’s. In 2019 Kerik learned the very first photographic process, the daguerreotype. He is still honing his skills in this difficult but uniquely beautiful process. Kerik’s work is currently represented in California by Oficino Uno in Carmel and the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite where he has been teaching hand-made photographic techniques since 2000. In recent years Kerik’s travels have taken him to Iceland, Scotland, Norway, the Galapagos, Mongolia and Japan. He has adopted the use of a drone to make aerial photographs on his travels, where permitted. In 2016 Kerik was awarded a two-week Artist in Residency in Yosemite National park by Yosemite Renaissance. In 2017 Kerik completed his first documentary short film “Mongolia in Winter''. He is currently working on a documentary film about an Antarctic expedition that occurred in 1958. His prints are held in private and corporate collections in North America and Europe as well as the Museum of Fine Art, Houston and the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts, Newcastle, Pennsylvania. In 2019 Kerik became the President of the Board of Directors for the Viewpoint Photographic Art Center in Sacramento, California.
