About This Class
Getting a good exposure may seem straightforward, but many photographers routinely underexpose their images by a stop or more without realizing it. The result can be lost shadow detail, increased noise, and files that require more work during editing.
In this live online class, photographer and master printmaker Rich Seiling will introduce a practical approach to “exposing to the right.” His method is designed to help you avoid both underexposure and blown highlights while capturing as much usable tonal information as your camera allows.
Rich will show you how to evaluate exposure more confidently and work toward consistent results in one-third-stop increments. With better information in the original capture, you can retain more shadow detail, simplify your processing, and create photographs with greater clarity, richness, and precision, even in challenging light.
What You’ll Learn
- Why photographers often underexpose without realizing it
- How exposure affects shadow detail, noise, and tonal quality
- A practical method for exposing to the right
- How to protect important highlights without sacrificing useful shadow information
- How to achieve more consistent exposures in one-third-stop increments
- How a stronger original capture can make editing easier and more effective
Who This Class Is For
This class is open to photographers of all experience levels, from newer camera users to working professionals. You should have a basic understanding of your camera’s exposure controls, including shutter speed, aperture, and ISO.
Meet Your Instructor
Rich Seiling is a photographer, educator, and master printmaker whose career has been shaped by a lifelong study of light, landscape, and the photographic print.
After beginning his photographic education in the darkroom, Rich explored digital photography and printmaking in the early 1990s. He went on to co-found West Coast Imaging, where he helped develop museum-quality digital printing methods and worked with photographers including Michael Forsberg, Galen Rowell, Jack Dykinga, and Robert Glenn Ketchum. His team has produced prints for museum exhibitions and leading galleries and completed prepress work for art books published by Taschen, Houghton Mifflin, and others.
Rich’s streamlined Photoshop workflow has been tested through the production of tens of thousands of fine-art prints and taught to photographers throughout the country. Working in both color and black and white, he creates vibrant, expressive photographs rooted in careful observation and a deep understanding of light.
As an instructor, Rich helps photographers gain control of their craft, strengthen their visual awareness, and discover the stories that are uniquely theirs to tell.
Rich lives outside Nashville with his wife and creative partner, Susan, and their three children. See more of his work at richseiling.com.
