I've set the dates for the January/February 2015 Florida Digital Photography/Photoshop Workshops. You will receive personal attention on each workshop because you'll be in a small group.

You will learn a lot and have a ton of fun - while shooting in cool locations. I will also sit side-by-side with you and help you process your images.

South Beach Creative Photo Workshop • January 15 - 17
Highlights: Night, model, sunrise and sunset photography.

Digital Delray Photo Weekend • January 30 - February 1
Highlights: Shoot at Butterfly World, Wakodahatchee and at the beautiful Colony Hotel. Street shooting, too.

Key West Small Group Workshop • February 3 - 4
Highlights: Sunset, street, and HDR photography. Only four participants.

I am also giving private photography and Photoshop lessons while I am in the Delray Beach area: January 20 - 29. Shoot me an email for info.

I hope to see some of you in the Sunshine State.

All my 2015 digital photography/Photoshop workshops are listed here.

If you plan on mastering HDR, I recommend using Photomatix. Info on my Plug-ins page.

Can't make a live workshop? I also offer many on-line classes.

Announcing Digital Photo Express Workshops

Want to learn photography and Photoshop/Lightroom at express speeds?  Want to turn a snapshot into a great shot? Join one of my 2015 Digital Photo Express Workshops.

The photo express processing for the top image in this post took less than 10 minutes. The process:

1) carefully cropped;
2) straightened in Photoshop;
3) used a combo of Detail Extractor (Nik Color Efex Pro) and Photoshop's Highlight/Shadow adjustment.
4) reduced noise with Topaz DeNoise - best way I have found to reduce noise. See my Plug-ins page for more info and a 15% discount.
5) converted to B&W using Topaz B&W Effects, also listed on my Plug-ins page.

Hop on the Digital Photo Express - and let the photo learning and fun begin!

You wanna learn it? I'm here to teach it – and that includes portrait lighting. Before (bad/left) and after (good/right) pair of images above.
