Vintage Vogue: A Styled Photography Lighting Workshop with Fritz Liedtke
Saturday, May 17 · 12 - 6pm
Chateau de Lis, Oregon City
$250
Immerse yourself in the world of "Vintage Vogue: A Styled Photography Lighting Workshop," where the art of photography meets the elegance of retro fashion. This special event will take place at the stunning and exclusive European-style Chateau de Lis, in Oregon City.
Explore the magic of lighting with speedlights, as talented models don retro styles in an old-world setting, providing you with a unique backdrop for capturing stunning portraits.
Throughout the 6-hour workshop, you'll learn how to work with small, portable speedlights and a variety of modifiers, to sculpt light, balance ambient light with flash, and create stunning portraits. We'll be discussing both the technical and aesthetic sides of lighting, and will be working both indoors and out, in some stunning, magical spaces. You'll also learn about styling, and how to give excellent direction to your models, to perfectly bring your vision to life.
After learning from Fritz's instruction, you'll dive into hands-on shooting time with Fritz's personal input and feedback, where you’ll apply what you've learned. You'll be working with professional models in vintage dress, with a small student-to-model ratio, so you'll have lots of opportunity to practice what you're learning, as well as add beautiful images to your portfolio. Fritz's personalized oversight allows for immediate feedback, ensuring you develop confidence and precision in your shooting.
This workshop is not just about taking pictures; it’s an unforgettable experience where art, education, and nostalgia collide. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a pro at an incredible venue, all while expanding your photography portfolio with unique, timeless images.

LightBox Photographic Gallery opens Small and Connected, an Exhibit by the Guild at LightBox, on Saturday, April 12, from 4-7pm.
This exhibit challenges the traditional notion of scale, suggesting that size is not a measure of importance. These prints, though small in scale or modest in subject matter, reveal the complexity and beauty of a world that often goes unseen.
The works in this exhibit remind us that the smallest of moments can hold profound meaning. With each photograph the artists capture threads that connect disparate elements yet resonate with deeper significance upon reflection.
Through a diverse range of techniques these photographers use their skills to build an emotional landscape where everything is linked, where the tiniest details have a ripple effect. “Small and Connected” is an invitation to slow down, observe, and discover the profound stories hidden in the simplest of things.
The exhibit runs until May 3rd. Complete show info is on the LightBox website, http://lightbox-photographic.c.... The Guild at LightBox include Jim Fitzgerald, Jody Miller, Julie Moore, Marc McVey, Rachel Wolf, Kathy Radie, Michael Puff and Loren Nelson.
Cyanotype Making Workshop
April 19, 2025, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Franklin Foto
8953 N Lombard St
Portland, OR 97203
Wednesday – Sunday, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
https://www.franklinfoto.org/
$100.00
Students will learn how to prepare the chemical solution, how to properly coat materials, how to find exposure times and how to develop and wash cyanotypes. We will cover a variety of printing methods using cyanotypes.
Students will need to submit one photo before the workshop that they would like made into a digital negative. We will print the digital negative on a piece of transparency, allowing for it to be used in the cyanotype process. It is recommended to submit detail-rich images with relatively even tones for best results.
Students will finish this workshop with a digital negative, UV sensitive cyanotype paper and their completed cyanotype prints. The cyanotype prints will have to dry, so students will need to return sometime in the next week to pick up their prints.
At Franklin FOTO we never want finances to be a barrier to access. More information is on our class sign up page.

Scenes from the 2020 Protests in Portland by Sai Stone at Franklin Foto
Reception: April 5, 5-8 p.m.
Sai’s work will be on display through the month of April.
Franklin Foto
8953 N Lombard St
Portland, OR 97203
Wednesday – Sunday, 12 p.m. to 8 p.m.
In 2020, Portland photographer Sai Stone was on the streets to witness the protests that began in the wake of the murder of George Floyd in May of 2020. Five years later, in an era of renewed political upheaval, we reexamine that time with Sai’s images.
"Sai’s photography captures the raw intensity and significance of the 2020 police brutality protests, amidst a backdrop of social unrest and a global pandemic. Through his lens, he skillfully navigates the chaotic and emotionally charged scenes, documenting the powerful moments that unfold on the streets of Portland Oregon.
His photographs convey a profound sense of urgency and activism, reflecting the collective outcry for justice and equality. Each frame captures the human spirit, as protesters bravely confront systemic issues and demand societal change. These photographs reveal the diverse faces and voices at the heart of these movements, providing a platform for marginalized communities to be seen and heard."
-Sai Stone
An opening reception is scheduled for Saturday, April 5, from 5-8 p.m.
Sai’s work will be on display through the month of April.
Franklin Foto is a community darkroom and gallery space located in Portland’s St. Johns neighborhood. Contact manager@franklinfoto.org for more information.
