Creative Editing for Photography

Have you ever wanted to learn how to create composites and digital collages with your photography? In this class, we will discuss methods of shooting and editing to get the results you are looking for. You will learn how to creatively edit your images by learning to make use of the Lightroom/Photoshop connection to edit your work in Lightroom, make further adjustments in Photoshop, and save it back to Lightroom. We will learn how to use presents, add masks and layers, and employ blending modes. Explore the power of your Adobe Creative Cloud photography plan. A basic understanding of Lightroom is required for this class. Please bring your laptop, camera, and a collection of photographs loaded into Lightroom, and the Photoshop application downloaded to your computer. About the Instructor Karen Olson is a lens-based artist working at the intersection of human emotion and the natural world. In her figurative and nature-inspired work, Karen uses concept-based projects to explore the human/nature connection and its role in subjects such as grief, trauma, empathy, and forest bathing. She illustrates these multi-sensory experiences with two and three-dimensional works in photography and paper sculpture. Karen’s exhibition The Embrace opens in the Clifford Gallery at Waterfall Arts on Friday June 3, 2022. Tiered pricing is available.
