This workshop meets as a group to share information on all things photographic with an emphasis on editing and reviewing each other’s work. We are looking for new members to join us in Fall 2009 when we begin a new series of workshops.

Space.
The Positively 5th Street Photolab Project workshop has been developed by Joan Bobkoff, photography instructor at Laney College, Oakland, to provide a creative space for each person to pursue his or her respective photo project in depth.

Vision.
Leverage the positive influence of a workshop where a variety of skill levels support your development of a personal photographic vision, encourage you to expand and clarify your goals, or even explore a new direction.

Meet.
We meet on the first Sunday of each month from 10 am to 2 pm at Photolab in Berkeley. Participants commit to a series of 4 meetings.
Winter schedule: 9/12, 10/4, 11/1, 12/6

Fee for the series of four classes: $250.00

Kind Words for Joan Bobkoff:
Keith Modenbach from Walnut Creek, says: "I had several years worth of black and white work but I was never sure where it was going. Joan helped me pull together a strong body of my work. She encouraged me to get professional prints printed. I can't tell you what a difference that made. It wasn't long before I was exhibiting and selling work. Thank you Joan."

Whitney Vosburgh says, "I have had over 80 shows in Asia, Europe and all over America since I took several technical and two or three years of advanced portfolio development workshops with Joan. I credit her guidance and workshops with helping me develop and hone my photographic vision, voice and direction. Even with all this success, I still check in with Joan for consultations to help keep me on track. Thank you, Joan." ~

Shoey Sindel from Berkeley says: "I highly recommend Joan Bobkoff. She has taught, supported and guided me from beginning photography student to professional photographer.  Joan teaches technical information with expertise and witty humor.  She is generous with her knowledge and artistic sense.  She provides honest feedback, without sugarcoating, which encourages her students to strive for a higher level of creativity and technical competency.  I recommend Joan to any photographer who wants to take their photography to a higher level, prepare work for publication or display or prepare their portfolio."
