Program Description:
Transforming Photographs into Stories: A Post Processing Workshop
Every photograph carries more than what first meets the eye. It holds mood, memory, and emotion—waiting for you to draw it out and shape it further.
Join acclaimed New York–based photographer Alan Shapiro for an inspiring workshop that explores his distinctive approach to photo editing. Known for his painterly style and masterful use of color, light, and texture, Alan will take you behind the scenes of his creative process—sharing the tools, techniques, and artistic decisions that transform an image into something poetic and unforgettable.
Alan’s unique approach goes beyond “fixing” images; it’s about deepening the mood, uncovering hidden details, and shaping a photograph into something that feels alive and profoundly personal.
Through live demonstrations and step-by-step guidance, you’ll see how editing becomes an essential storytelling tool—bringing emotion, depth, and resonance to every image. Together, you’ll explore the expressive power of color editing to create richness and vibrancy, the timeless artistry of black and white (monochrome) editing to reveal drama and emotion, and—time permitting—the magic of texture blending to add dimension and atmosphere.
This is more than a workshop about editing—it’s an invitation to explore your own vision, to embrace play and experimentation, and to discover how post-processing can become a natural extension of your vision—and your voice—as a storyteller.
Photograper Bio:
Alan grew up on the creative side of advertising, working with clients around the world, telling their unique stories in very unique ways. He had the pleasure of collaborating with many talented photographers and film directors and became envious of their art and craft. At first, he saw it as a means of reducing his stress-filled life. As a Global Chief Creative Officer at Omnicom, the world’s largest Advertising Agency Network, he needed a distraction. A friend gave him a camera. Then he bought another and another. His new hobby and daily “creative exercise regimen” turned into a joy-filled and all-consuming passion. Then, his first photo client called, followed by many more.
His work can be seen throughout the entire production sets on ABC’s The Good Doctor and HBO’s Sex and The City, in launch campaigns for the Apple iPhone and Nikon, as well as for Cadillac, OnStar, U.S. Navy, Lockheed Martin, Die Zeit, Ricoh, Cotton Incorporated, Scholastic, and numerous others. His work fills entire walls in Bose retail stores and Ritz Carlton Hotels worldwide and hangs in numerous private and corporate art collections. His macro, food, and still life work can be seen in countless editorial publications and products from housewares to clothing to puzzles.
As much as Alan loves creating images, he genuinely loves to teach, sharing his workflow from capture through post-processing and printing. He is a super high-energy instructor with a knack for getting people out of their comfort zones, as well as helping them discover and capture beautifully simple things in unexpected ways.
