Did you know that the Greeks already knew about the amazing capabilities of a small hole and a black room? They called it ‘camera obscure’

We are going to take pictures using shoeboxes, matchboxes, transportation boxes and any other kind of box for that matter

This weekend Rooms of Red Bull had his last Epson print & photography academy weekend with Eddy van Wessel. Thank you Eddy van Wessel and of course Sander Bosman and Epson with providing us with the knowledge and supplies to host these great workshops.

Eddy van Wessel will give his 3rd workshop weekend at Rooms of Red Bull. Taking us on a trip through the devastation and sorrow of conflict and disaster areas like Bangladesh, Chechnya and Iraq.

With Sjoerd Tieleman explaining everything there is to know about black & white photography and Hotmamahot talking about graffiti and illustrating we had ourselves a creative inspiring day. In no time at all we had a regular art school feel in our Creation Room.

With our very own catwalk sorted, Jeroen Snijders led a group of 12 enthusiastic photographers the way to the illusive fashionable photograph.
Our second workshop this weekend will be all about the power of color. A contradictive symbioses between a black and white photographer and the colorful artist collective Hotmamahot

It took about 5 minutes in Lieve Prins’s workshop for me to change my perception on scanning and the art that can be made with them. The depth in color, the blurry effects and light seeping through into the copy makes it that the scanner has its own special niche in the art scene. It’s a rising art form popular by contemporary artists.
It can get quite hectic at the end of the catwalk when you’re battling an increasingly growing group of fashion photographers hungry for the sweet taste of recognition. Sending out spotters, pushing, grabbing and blocking your opportunities from the second you step in the door to the moment you walk out.

Although a photography workshop by nature we will be looking a little bit further than just the camera this weekend. Lieve Prins will show us the amazing possibilities of the photocopier, layer after layer building up an artwork. The total outlook of what started out life as a completely different object, form or picture can be manipulated using photocopiers.
