The name, Death Valley, evokes a land hot and forbidden but for photographers it is a land of discovery! Temperatures are mild and range from 60's-90's degrees F. From the lowest point in North America to the top of it's snowy mountain ranges lies unbounded opportunities of photogenic subjects of salt flats, sand dunes, volcanic cones, borax and gold mines even ancient indian rock art. The workshop is timed for the best chances of shooting wildflowers. We visit infamous named places like the Devil's Racetrack where mysteriously rocks leave trails of their movement yet no one has ever seen them move! Devil's Corn Patch is where demons harvest their foul inedible growths of poisonous Mesquite. A trip to Badwater takes us to the lowest place on the northern continent. It is a land of poisonous salt water pools. We also visit Artist's Palete, Zabriskie Point, Dante's View and other well known habitats. Desert and mountain animals abound, such as the Roadrunner, Mule Deer, Mountain Sheep, Burro's (left from the miners working the silver and gold mines) Pupfish, Bobcats, Desert Tortoise, Horned and other lizards and snakes abound! If you are a beginning photographer, here is the place to start working on compositional techniques! If you are a season professional, this is a place to add unique stock for your clients!

Bill Diodato, a New York based commercial photographer and client, requested large format prints that would be featured in the lobby of an architectural renovation project from Jim Roselli at Xact Studio.
As part of Jim's workflow, he always requests the highest resolution image available for review before hand. In this case, Bill captured the images with a Hasselblad 503CW camera with a Carl Zeis 50mm CFi lens and a PhaseOne IQ260 Digital Back. This extraordinary combination of equipment delivered an extremely detailed file to work with.
Bill was asking for my recommendation on which media to use for printing. Once I saw his images, I immediately knew these would look remarkable on the Slickrock Metallic Pearl, which is now one of my most favorite medias from Moab.
Slickrock Metallic has very unique properties with regards to refracting and reflecting light. It has a very clear luminosity that emanates from direct, indirect and ambient light sources. When clients first view a print rendered on Slickrock, they usually comment on how it seems to be self-illuminated.
Bill’s creativity with regards to image processing yielded images that were in absolute harmony with the media. Each image was composed from selectively layering two photos creating a positive and negative effect.
-Jim Roselli
The images are now on display in the newly renovated lobby of 433 West 34th St. in Manhattan, New York.
433 is a pre-war apartment building designed by the noted architects Bing & Bing who are known for their art deco architectural style.
The 44” X 68” Slickrock Metallic prints were made on an Epson 9900 printer.
Professional Photographer magazine has selected the Juniper Baryta Rag as the pros’ top choice in Matte Paper for the 2015 Hot One Awards.
The annual Hot One Awards honor the hottest products for professional photographers. From hundreds of entries, a panel of judges—who are all professional photographers—name their top choice among dozens of photography products and services. The awards are highlighted in the August issue of Professional Photographer.
“The winners of the 2015 Hot One Awards represent the pros’ choice of the year’s photographic products,” says Professional Photographer Senior Editor Joan Sherwood. “The Hot Ones recognize excellence in professional products as judged by the pros who use them. As talented as photographers can be, they still have to rely on their gear, software, professional services, and the products they sell. Their choices for the Hot Ones give our readers a list of worthy winners to consider for themselves.”
The Juniper Baryta Rag has been a huge hit ever since its' release in October 2014. Along with the Hot One Award, the true baryta fiber paper also recieved Editors Pick Award from PDN and is receiving incredible reviews from widely known photographers.
“I like the vividness of the colors and the depth of the black,” Biggs says. “In the black-and-white world, you want that really rich, deep black, which you can get with the Baryta. Plus it has the right white point that I’m looking for, a nice, mellow shade. A lot of papers on the market have an unnaturally bright white, which can look sort of fake. The color of white in a paper is really important—there are tons of shades of white, more than you’d ever imagine.”
-Andy Biggs, Moab Master & Wildlife Photographer

Workshop participants will be given the opportunity to compose, photograph and post-process their own transparent floral images from beginning-to-end during the workshop. Field and studio sessions will demonstrate creative techniques across the gamut of different kinds of flower photography, and allow plenty of time for individual image making.

Moab Master, Michael Soluri, is thrilled that his photograph of the New Horizons probe (back in 2005 before launch) was chosen for Kenneth Chang’s front page story in Sunday’s (July 19) print edition of the New York Times, along with the WIRED and Smithsonian Magazine.
9-1/2 years and 3 billions miles later, the New Horizons spacecraft sent back close up images of Pluto. Michael Soluri has been documenting the mission since 2005 photographing the scientists, flight controllers and engineers to learn about the people involved in the process of discovering our solar system.
"I have always been struggling to find the humanity in space exploration, on Earth and above," says Soluri. "I brought my sons down to the Air and Space Museum in 1984 or 1985. I took them in, and there was an exact replica of the Viking lander [sent to Mars in 1975]. So we're looking at it, and there's this big robot and I'm seeing all this text, and something's puzzling me: I didn't see the picture of the person who made it possible. And I held on to that for like 20 years."

Michael Soluri and the team at Moab is looking forward to seeing these photographs in PRINT!

Looking to tint your Slickrock Metallic Pearl prints? Photographer, Robert Pittman, did... with Starbucks Coffee!
I had the photos already printed out beforehand . I filled my bathtub with cold water and coffee and kept the photos moving in the water. I did this for about an hour and 30 minutes or so to get the color I wanted. Then I let the water out of the tub and filled it with hot and warm water and moved the photos around for five mins it's or so. They had a greasy film on them from the coffee residue. That came off and then I hung them to dry. The next day the color stayed and the ink did not run or fade away!
After soaking the Slickrock Metallic Pearl in coffee, Robert was still able to print on the paper (shown on the left). The photo to the right was printed before submerging the paper in the water with coffee.
The results are incredible! The print on the left was tinted with Starbucks coffee as the image on the right was printed without any manipulation using a Canon Pixma iX6820.
Show us what you do with Moab Paper!
