Just about every Saturday for two years, Charlie, my dog, and I went out to the Sandy River Delta to catch the rising morning light. Well, he was more interested in critters, but I relished the enchantment that was sunrise bringing a glow onto the landscape: the trees, the water, the grasses, to all about me.
The gift of light upon the land was that I could bring it home and let it light up the world of my studio space.
My intent in working with this material was to touch upon the awe I felt. To let others feel the beauty.

Visiting Dublin was already on Rockoff’s bucket list when he arrived in May 2024, unbeknownst to him coinciding with the inaugural Dublin Street Photography Festival. Inspired by the city, its sometimes eccentric but generally warm and friendly inhabitants, the festival itself, and the friendships formed with photographers Brian Sparks and Tony O’Shea, he captured analog images that presented themselves as he explored the city’s sights. The experience was so enjoyable that he returned the following May, again limiting himself to Dublin city and the coastal towns of Dublin County.
Shot on film, the photographs are unplanned and instinctive – made, as Rockoff puts it, during “two springtime holidays when photographing on the streets was a passion.”
“Again limited to Dublin city and county coastal towns, these photographs are my visual souvenirs.” — Steve Rockoff

Discover the art of capturing movement, emotion, and light in this immersive three-part dance photography workshop with professional photographer Fritz Liedtke, held at Portland’s celebrated BodyVox Dance Center.

Designed for photographers of all levels, this workshop combines the excitement of working with professional dancers with the technical and creative guidance you need to take your images to the next level.

Part 1: Preparation — Self-Guided Materials (Delivered the week before class)
Before the in-person session, you’ll receive a set of resources to help you prepare. These materials will cover foundational concepts and a host of inspiration, so you arrive ready to make the most of your time in the studio.
Part 2: On Location — 6 Hours of Shooting (Saturday)
Spend the day photographing professional dancers in a variety of settings, both in the beautiful BodyVox studio and in the surrounding environment. Fritz will be your guide all through the day, both demonstrating concepts, and working with you one-on-one to help refine your vision and imagery. You’ll learn how to:
• Work with natural light and artificial light, including flash and modifiers
• Direct and pose dancers to highlight form, grace, and drama
• Anticipate and capture the decisive moment when movement and emotion align
• Choose locations, wardrobe, and styling that enhance your vision
• Build confidence in working with models and performers
If you want to work with flash, you are welcome to bring your own gear, and Fritz will help you refine your approach to artificial lighting. The goal is to help you explore multiple approaches, experiment creatively, and walk away with a portfolio of dynamic images.
Part 3: Virtual Editing & Image Review (Follow-Up Session)
Several days after the shoot, we’ll gather online for an editing and critique session. You’ll receive constructive feedback on your photos, learn editing techniques to make your images shine, and discuss strategies for building a strong body of dance or performance photography.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll not only have a deeper understanding of lighting, timing, and storytelling in dance photography, but also the confidence to work with dancers, models, and performers in future projects. Whether you’re looking to broaden your portrait and event photography skills or simply want the chance to create extraordinary images in a supportive, collaborative setting, this workshop is designed to be both challenging and inspiring.

In this immersive four-day workshop in Santa Fe, fine-art and commercial photographer Fritz Liedtke guides you beyond technique into the true art of portraiture. Together, we’ll explore what it means to see deeply, connect authentically, and create images that transcend the ordinary.
Amid the luminous light and rich textures of Santa Fe, you’ll photograph inspiring models in evocative locations—desert landscapes, adobe walls, and old-world courtyards—to create portraits that are beautiful, and meaningful.
Through discussions, live demonstrations, and guided photo sessions, you’ll refine your artistic voice, learn to use natural and artificial light with intention, direct your subjects with confidence, and develop your editing process to enhance mood and style. With Fritz’s hands-on guidance and immediate feedback, you’ll learn to create portraits that reflect your unique artistic vision.
On a personal level, Fritz also guides you through exercises that help you break through emotional barriers, refine your artistic vision, listen to your intuition, and discover the poetry within portraiture.
In this workshop, we cover the following—and much more:
• Researching and scouting locations that are suitable for portraiture
• Using model releases and building professional relationships with your talent
• Studying the work of master portrait photographers to emulate and expand upon their techniques
• Building rapport with subjects and posing them with clarity and ease
• Finding and shaping natural light to create evocative portraits
• Using portable artificial lighting (flash) effectively and creatively on-location
• Editing efficiently and beautifully in Lightroom and other software
• Developing a cohesive portrait projects or series
• Identifying and overcoming fears and limitations that hinder your portrait photography
You will leave Santa Fe not only with striking new images and new friendships, but with fresh insight, confidence, and new ways of seeing and understanding people through portraiture.
