I have been thinking about how much I love in-camera blurs and creative photography. I have not allowed myself the time to dedicate to some of these techniques with all of my travels. I have decided to put together a creative workshop dedicated to in-camera and post-processing techniques to re-charge some of that creative energy.

November is a good time for me so I will be conducting this workshop in Charleston SC, the weather will be moderate at that time of year and there are plenty of trees, water and other elements that lend themselves nicely to creative photography. So consider taking a break from the norm and recharge some of your creativity. Post-processing will be a big part of this workshop as capturing is only the beginning… This workshop is not to be confused with my Charleston workshop in March of 2025, which is geared more towards photography with a sampling of some of the iconic Charleston locations. Even though we will not have access to all of the subjects shown in the imagery above, the techniques will still be covered in this course.

*This is an intense workshop filled with a lot of creative ideas and challenges. Open to all levels of photography but must have working knowledge of your camera and be able to change the shutter speed, ISO, aperture and exposure compensation. Photoshop sessions are complete with notes and are geared towards anyone with knowledge of layers and masks.

At the end of this workshop each participant will be asked to share their favorite image from the workshop. I will do a blog post with each of the chosen images, giving credit to the maker.

Some of the techniques covered in this course:

In-camera blurs, including the myriad of ways to capture and process them.

Composites, layering and stacking

High-key imagery -capture and processing

Multiple Exposures and the many ways to create them both in-camera and/or in post-processing.

*if you struggle in the field to “see” a creative image or if you capture an image and are not sure how to “make the most of the shot”, then this workshop is for you. This workshop combines information from several of my eBooks. Notes will be given during classroom sessions.
