From Image to Print: A Workshop on Fine Art Printing for Museums, Galleries, and Collections
The Camera Club of the Philippines, through CCP Vision Lab, recently held "From Image to Print," a workshop led by Red Ognita Red Ognita on the role of fine art printing within exhibition, archival, and collection practice. Held in preparation for the upcoming CCP Landscapes Exhibition this June at Century City Mall, the program forms part of the Club’s continuing road to the CCP Centennial in 2028.
Drawing from years of professional experience in printing and image production, Ognita guided participants through the considerations involved in preparing photographs for physical presentation. Discussions covered color management, paper selection, image cleanup, tonal control, framing preparation, and the realities of editioning and pricing photographic work.
Participants handled a wide range of prints to better understand the physical qualities of inks, papers, and presentation materials. The session was both a technical workshop and an open exchange on image-making, critique, and the importance of seeing photographs as objects meant to exist in physical space.
“It doesn’t matter if it sells or not,” Ognita shared. “You should print something you can be proud of.”
CCP Vision Lab is the club-sanctioned sandbox program of the Camera Club of the Philippines, where other modes, techniques, and ways of thinking about photography are explored through workshops, critiques, screenings, talks, interviews, and forums. Running parallel to the Club’s regular programming, Vision Lab aims to sustain curiosity, experimentation, and continuing photographic education in the Philippines.
