Live creative editing with Steve Varman

Steve's recent creative talk was so incredibly well received, that he's coming back to give us a live demonstration of how he creates his fantastic images!

In this live edit demonstration, Steve will aim to complete one of his images - with in depth explanation and example.

From Steve:

• I'm going to start with how to make a 'cloud' brush in Photoshop, and how to add clouds to any sky, including sunsets. I'll also use a cloud brush in the main edit to create a smoke effect.
• The main edit will be a cyberpunk themed composite in two stages: in stage one, I'll add goggles with laser beams, and in stage two, I'll add neon lighting and smoke.

After failing to settle or specialise in one genre, I have leant to embrace an eclectic approach to my photography. My talk includes infrared, landscape, macro, tabletop, street, compositing and more. I was lucky enough to have two successes in this year's International Garden Photographer of the Year, and a third image success in this year's Pink Lady Food Photographer of the year (Romanesco Broccoli)

This talk will be recorded and made available for two weeks.
