How will you benefit from this
Virtual Fine Art Photography Workshop?

You will learn what is involved in creating your own unique artistic approach to photography that has a chance to be considered fine art.

You will learn how people “see and perceive” the world around them and, perhaps more importantly, be able to anticipate how people will react to your images.

You will be able to experience the process of creating Fine Art images from “pre-visualization” through to and including “re-visualizing” selected digital files using Lightroom Classic along with a variety of potential software options.
