Courses: for universities, community colleges, museums, continuing education programs  

Dr Hellmuth has trained the key personnel of the Malta Centre for Restoration in advanced digital photography. They wanted deeper training than was normally available. It had to be in digital photography. The selling point for them hiring FLAAR was that Dr Hellmuth’s PhD is in art history with a focus on archaeology (which naturally implies cultural heritage and preservation of ancient works of art).

The other selling point is that FLAAR is one of the few institutes in the world that actually owns every tool in advanced digital imaging:

• 80 megapixel Cruse scanner/camera, the Rolls Royce of museum digitizers
• two 48 megapixel BetterLight cameras, the Bentley of large format digital cameras for museums
• two 22-megapixel medium format digital cameras (Leaf and PhaseOne)
• two CreoScitex scanners including the EverSmart Supreme (the best scanner for 35mm, medium format, and large format that exists outside of a drum scanner)

There is no other photographer who has this entire range (plus naturally he has Nikon and Canon 35mm digital SLR cameras and knows point-and-shoot too. So Professor Hellmuth has personal experience in the entire range of digital imaging tools, an unprecedented advantage.

And few professors have first-hand experience with this wide a range of digital imaging hardware and software.

The following courses are available:

• Digital photography 101: Introduction to digital photography equipment, practice, digital lighting, and software
• Digital photography 201: Medium Format and Large Format Digital Photography
• These courses can be specially tuned,
• Digital Photography for Museums,
• or Digital Photography for botanists, botanical gardens, and herbariums,
• or Digital Photography for Architects and Architectural Historians, or Digital Photography for Archaeology: field photography and also back home at the university and/or museum.
• Digital Photography for Anthropology & History Institutes (cultural preservation)
• Giclee and Décor
• Fine art photography: equipment, actual photography, and printing
• Pre-Columbian architectural history: Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Mixtec, Toltec, Aztec
• Pre-Columbian art history: all major Mesoamerican cultures especially Olmec, Maya, and Teotihuacan
• Iconography of Maya murals, ceramic and sculptural art

FLAAR has the largest private photographic archive in the world of pre-Columbian art and architectural history. For Maya ceramics and Maya architecture this archive is larger than what is available at Harvard, as an example (larger and higher quality photographs than the Carnegie Institution of Washington archives, for example).

Format

A “lecture” is a 45 minute to 1 hour presentation. Can be one or two different topics in a morning, or an afternoon, or an evening.

A “seminar” is a half day, full day, or two day program.

A “workshop” is a full day with the actual equipment at hand to demonstrate how it functions in real life.

A “course” is a semester-long course, but more likely, is concentrated over 1 week, 2 weeks, or 3 to 4 weeks. This is to make it realistic to fit into Dr Hellmuth’s international speaking schedule.
