The Art of Flower Photography with Celia Henderson LRPS
With regard to her talk this evening she will say “I love the whole workflow of creating an image – the “see”, “take”, “make” process. Unlike most 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”
