FREE 1 hr. WEEKLY TALK-&-LEARN ZOOM SESSIONS
EVERY TUESDAY AT 10:00 am PST (1:00 pm Eastern)
Hi Everyone,
As we are all experiencing stressful and isolating times. I have decided to put together these weekly sessions. This way even though we are separated, we can still stay connected and continue to share our passion and fun for Photography and Art.
Please join me in these sessions as I will be addressing Image Critique, Photoshop How-Tos, Workflow, and such.
You are more than welcome to participate in a draw in which I will address your image during the session. I hope to be able to address 2-4 people per session. Or, you can just sit back and watch. If you are selected, I will contact you to email me your image. I am looking for images that you are struggling with, vision or technical, and that you are seeking guidance and assistance on how to process and bring more out of them.
No need to have any knowledge of Photoshop, you are welcome to just sit back and observe. You do however need to register. A link to the Tuesday Sessions will be emailed TUESDAY MORNING with the Zoom session link.
NOTE: The Zoom sessions will be recorded and a small thumbnail of your image might appear. If you choose to not appear, please turn your webcam off.
Every week, registration will start on Tuesdays at 2:00 pm PST for the following week’s session.
This week’s session will be dedicated to:
ARTISTIC EXPRESSION
One can argue that any artwork is subjected to the artist’s personal interpretation. However, this week we are taking the concept to new heights and literally recreating reality to express our vision and to express our personal interpretation of a scene.
Example: The image below is the famous Aqua Building (Chicago). I noticed that when photographing a building straight up, you lose perspective. Meaning, viewing the image on a 2D surface, the depth is lost and it looks like it is vanishing into the horizon. So….I took the building, placed it in a long exposure water background to make it look like a dock, then processed the windows to look like water puddles.
