Photo Impressionism is an exciting area of photography. It releases your inner artist. It creates images filled with colour and movement and texture and feeling and emotion. It allows you to get really good photos when other photographers are complaining that “there’s nothing to photograph” or “the light is lousy”.
I’ve learned and developed many techniques, tips, and tricks over the years, and I’ll pass these on to you. Many are remarkably easy, once you know what to do and “get your eye in”. You will very likely impress yourself!
Previously I have run “Photo Impressionism” and “Turning your Photos into Art” as separate workshops, but they really belong together. So in this workshop, I’ll cover both. Two for the price of one 😊
My approach to Photo Impressionism is to use various in-camera techniques to create what is hopefully a unique vision of the world and then to make that capture look as good as possible in Photoshop/Lightroom using just normal sliders such as Exposure, Contrast, Vibrance, Clarity, Texture and so on.
“Turning your photos into Art” goes further, turning your photos into something that looks more like a painting than a photo. The results are often amazing but …. the good news is that many of these results are EASY to obtain. Often so easy it almost feels like cheating. Some of the techniques use Photoshop/Lightroom and others use either free programs or need-to-purchase programs. You will surprise yourself. Look at the accompanying images I’ve created with the techniques & programs I’ll show you in this workshop.
After a few hours, YOU will have the knowledge and techniques to get photos just like them. Or better!
