Masterclass on digital photography for documentation

The Fotorestauratie Atelier VOF in Amsterdam is offering the
following workshop:

    Digital Photograph Documentation for Conservators / Restorers
    14-16 April 2014
    Cost: 595,00 euro

In the past 10 years conservators have switched from analog
photograph documentation of their conservation treatments to digital
documentation.  In this 3 day workshop conservators are invited to
bring their camera and their questions.  The differences in digital
photograph documentation will be discussed and the tools necessary
to ensure the preservation of digital files will be taught.  Topics
such as which targets to use, how to make a white balance, lighting,
file format and stitching together images will be presented and
during practicals, participants will have time to make photograph
documentation of various objects and learn the basics of software
such as Adobe Photoshop.

Hans Meesters, the lecturer of the course is photographer.  Meesters
owned a professional photography lab in Amsterdam for 14 years.  In
2003 Meesters started working with various museums in the
Netherlands as photographer.  During this time he worked closely
with conservators and was introduced into their working methods.
Meesters became Head of Digitisation at the Fotorestauratie Atelier
VOF in 2007 specialising in digitising fragile objects.  He teaches
photography at the University of Amsterdam Masters Program in
Conservation.
