About this Event
Join Glazer’s for a unique event to learn from Fine Art Photographer Thibault Roland his signature techniques.
A three part workshop exploring long exposure photography. The online sessions are focused on concept and technique followed by hands-on practice in the field!
We are taking a field trip to Franklin Falls with Fine Art Photographer Thibault Roland, in a hands-on workshop. This location is perfect to create unique-looking and breathtaking images of some the most iconic waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest, all the while learning the amazing technique of long exposure. Thibault will also demonstrate infrared and teach it to those who are interested, time permitting. Additionally, if time permits, we will spot at the famous Snoqualmie Falls and take images from the upper landing.

Why long exposure?
Photography has the power to freeze time, to capture the world and reality. In most people’s minds photography has to be truthful to reality. It has to depict a scene, atmosphere, and event accurately. But photography is so much more than a simple tool to document our lives.
It is also a way to express ourselves, our point of view, to share our messages. Photography is art. Photography can be abstract and minimalistic. It allows us to change what we see based on our emotions and intent.
Long exposure is a technique that embraces this approach: it transforms reality into something else, into a dialogue between the artist, the subject and viewer. By stretching the time used to capture a single image, the photographer includes movement in their art: water becomes smooth, clouds create long silky streaks, trees blur out in the wind... the effects are endless. Long exposure is a different mindset. One that comes from within and uses what is out there in order to produce unique and breathtaking images. Images that go beyond documenting and bridge into the Fine Arts.

With a background in physics and a PhD from Cornell and Harvard Universities, his photography merges scientific concepts with artistic expression. Known for integrating theories like General Relativity into his long-exposure and tilt/shift techniques, Thibault crafts graphically precise images that explore themes of time, perspective, and uncertainty.
