With regard to her talk this evening she said “I love the whole workflow of creating an image – the “see”, “take”, “make” process. Unlike some photographers I look forward to spending time in Photoshop. This is my creative playtime, blending with textures, painting with digital watercolour or oil brushes, using layers to emulate multi-exposure effects. In my talk I will discuss what makes the best subjects, why backgrounds are so important and the considerations for capturing an image. And then comes the magic, all the creative tools in Photoshop, some of which I’ll be showing you how to do after the break!
 
This will be a two-part talk. The first will be all about Celia's flower photography, then the second part will be how to do this in Photoshop!
