PHOTOSHOP WORLD 2024

SEPTEMBER 24-26, 2024

This year, I’m teaching 2 classes which are totes different from any I’ve ever presented before.

On Day 2: “LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY: ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY”.
I show how I create my own photos… which I’m always told are so recognizable. (I’ve even heard “a touch of magic” referenced.)

My post-processing adds my own brand of “zhuzh” – aimed at aligning my images to the particular feeling/vibe/intent of each. I’ve never shown, ‘splained it, demo’d how I go about it. But now I am! The what, why and how. Curious? I’m revealing it all… and am hoping to inspire!

On Day 3: “CREATING NEW ART WITH OLD PHOTOS”.
Have older landscape photos that never really got off the ground?

The description for this class reads that I’ll share five post-processing ideas. Truth? There are way more than that!

This class is full of ideas for transforming those forgotten images into something shiny, new, and painterly. Even an entirely NEW piece of art!

I use Photoshop and other tools too – and will share the HOW of several creative concepts I love playing with. As well as the what, when and why behind them. My goal? To empower you to execute any of all in order to craft a unique artistic vision you may never thought was possible.

Old photos aren’t aren’t mere dust in a digital bin; they’re the base layer for something new and magical!

I hope you’ll join me!


THE ARTIST’S VOICE

For over a decade, I developed + lead THE ARTIST’S VOICE PHOTOGRAPHY RETREATS in Europe and the U.S. They were a game-changer for each and every individual who attended!

This foundational system anchors your true, unique, artistic voice + presence into art & Photography, yes. But it doesn’t stop there, for it was born with a greater vision. You see, The Artist’s Voice was always about creating art + living a life radiant with love, light and purpose.

For now, I no longer lead them on a faraway mountaintop. Publicly offered on-location and online versions of The Artist’s Voice are on hiatus for now. Instead, I weave these perspectives + practices into every class, presentation and article I create.

THE GOAL: Imagine having an artistic voice in your photography that is reliable, consistent, predictable – so that it becomes your greatest ally, no longer your greatest mystery.

The deep dive experienced in The Artist’s Voice is a forever shift of your perception of possibilities. It brings vision + practical application together; anchoring them into everyday reality in a whole new way.

In 2022, I brought the course online with mind-blowing results. In fact, we created an eBook so anyone could experience a bit of the magic. Presented in participants’ own words and images.

ARTIST’S VOICE PHOTOGRAPHY RETREATS: BACKGROUND

It all began in Provence one spring at Julia Child’s summer home.

Makenna Held bought the property, aka La Pitchoune and said to me; “You should do a photography retreat here.” I looked at her quizzically and thought “What the heck is a photography retreat?” I heard myself say “AWESOME idea! I’m in! Can you help me?” And so she did. As it turned out, we created an entirely new genre of photography education.

It unfurled like an amazing technicolor dreamcoat…
