For After Dark Minneapolis I would like to concentrate more on creative Photoshop techniques. I have gotten a lot of requests to show how I do my Dreamscapes. I have not done this at After Dark before because it really does take more than an hour to create a Dreamscape. I would like to have a two hour block where I teach how I do a Dreamscape from start to finish. The first hour would cover some Basic photoshop techniques like using layer masks, layer modes, and layer styles. The second hour would go into more Advanced Art Effects and painting in Photoshop. including creating Fantasy Portraits as well. I would also like to teach a work pod on Quick and Easy Album Design and then go into more Advanced and Creative Album Design including Sports Collage techniques and Texture Blends.

As far as shooting, I can do what ever you need me to. I can teach using gels on backgrounds to get lots of different looks out of the same background.

I shoot outdoors using nothing but available light and a large Larson reflector.

My outdoors session would be good for all levels.

I think my album design sessions would best apply to intermediate levels, but I could teach beginners as well. Maybe I could do a beginners pod first, teaching layer masks, actions, etc. and then do a more advanced pod afterwards.

I have a a high end, low volume custom portrait studio in Ocala, Florida. I do about 80% Seniors and 20% families and children. I specialize in photographic art pieces and album collections.
