Free Workshop: Photoshop for Portraiture

Next month I will be running a free workshop on using Photoshop for portrait photography. If you are just starting out with Photoshop or Elements and are confused by it all, or you’ve had a play around and want to tighten up your skills, this workshop is for you. It is designed to cover all the bases of standard photographic post-processing, allowing you to take your photography to the next level. I’ll be demonstrating how to use the core tools of Adobe Photoshop CS specifically for portraiture (most of the techniques also apply to Photoshop Elements).

You will learn how to:

- Use levels, curves and contrast adjustments to fine-tune your images
- Retouch like a pro (conceal wrinkles, smooth complexion, white teeth, make eyes stand out, etc)
- Use creative cropping, dodging & burning to create drama and enhance lighting
- Use creative blending modes to simulate ‘wet’ darkroom effects (ie sepia toning, cross-process, etc)

The event takes place on Monday 26 July from 7-9pm, and is free for all members of The Camera Club, so if you’re a member, please call the Club to sign up. If you’re not a member, you can join the Club for only £99 per year (£66 for seniors/students). Not only will you be able to attend my workshop, but you’ll also be able to take advantage of all other Club events and facilities.
