Managing a Digital Workflow
with Bruce Hamilton
Saturday, June 7, 10am–4pm
Registration is required. To register please call 617.975.0600.
$120 Members/$170 Non-Members/$95 Full-Time Students
Workshop will take place at Northeastern University
Workflow is an expression that we hear often in digital imaging. However,
workflow has a different meaning for each type of photographer.
There are a few constants, but a true workflow is one that is specific
to the individual using it. In this workshop, we will examine the most
common digital tools (hardware and software) and techniques for a
successful workflow, and then explore the means to create a specific
workflow for each individual participant according to their needs.
Topics covered will include the following:
+ Color Management: monitor calibration and color space
+ Image Capture: camera and scanned images
+ File Types: the good, the bad, and the ugly
+ File Transfer: cables and card readers
+ Initial Editing: Adobe Bridge, Aperture, and Lightroom
+ File Naming: metadata and keywords
+ File Sorting; Storage and Archiving; Raw Capture
+ Photoshop Workspace; Preparation for Output
This workshop is led by Bruce Hamilton, an established image maker
and educator with over 20 years of experience in the field of photography.
He is currently implementing the transformation of Northeastern’s
Photography Program’s pedagogy and technology from an
analog to a digital realm. He has taught Digital Imaging for the School
of Professional and Continuing Studies at Northeastern since 2001.
Prior to joining the Visual Arts Department at Northeastern, he ran a
successful photo studio in Boston with commercial clients from New
England and the Caribbean. He is represented by the Kalembar Dune
Gallery in Boston.

will be provided for you, but you will select a model who best suits
your photographic sensibility (you may also find models independently).
You may shoot in any format, in black and white or color, and at
any negative size. Please bring examples of previous work so we may
discuss potential approaches at the outset. In order to inspire you on
the first day before shooting, we will view slides of Jocelyn Lee’s work,
as well as that of other contemporary portrait photographers.
