Photoshop / Image Review
This class will focus on more advanced editing techniques using Photoshop. I’ll show how I use cloning, transforming, compositing, color alterations to enhance my own images. I’m using Photoshop more these days as it extends my creative reach beyond what can be captured in camera. It’s fun to push your vision to the unexpected places that Photoshop allows you to go to. This is a hands-on workshop so bring your laptop and up to 5 of your best images on a thumbdrive. As with all workshops I include art design and artistic development as a theme throughout.

POST PROCESSING ARTISTIC
TRAINING $250 – 2hr
Post processing is critical to what I do. The edits that I make in Lightroom and Photoshop enhance and sometime completely change the in-camera capture. Knowing how to use this software allows me unlimited creative freedom. Image organization and data management is also critical for any artist with a large library. When you purchase artistic training we will meet (screen share if not local) and review your images. I will teach you how to organize and edit your images in a way that showcases your artistic flare.
SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES
