Beyond the Image: Advanced Awagami Printing and Display workshop with Les Picker
Last weekend I traveled to Havre de Grace, Maryland, for my third workshop with fine art photographer Les Picker—this time exploring Awagami Japanese washi papers and how paper, printing, mounting, and presentation become part of the finished photograph.
It was an incredible weekend and reinforced something I believe strongly: a photograph doesn’t end with the image.
I wrote about the experience, the remarkable Unryu and Bizan papers, and what I brought home from the workshop in my latest blog.
