Do you often find that the colors in your images don’t look precisely how you remember them at the moment of exposure? Every camera has a preset set color balance built in like: daylight, flash, cloudy, evening, etc. Sometimes you forget to apply the appropriate setting prior to taking the shot. As a result, your image ends up with the wrong color balance. Other times, even with the appropriate color balance, the image still does not look right. Why does this happen? This course will teach you how to get around this problem and how to calibrate your white balance in camera and in Photoshop after words.
Is Black And White the only alternative to Color Photography? Absolutely not! There are many creative, color tone effects you can use. During these four weeks you will learn the techniques to “reinvent” your color images and take them to a new level. You will be taught how to apply duotone, triotone and quadritone effects. In addition, you will learn how to create Split Toning, Cross Processing and posterizing effects. These effects are used by professional graphic artists/designers and can be seen in magazines and books everywhere.
You will learn how to create a true sepia tone. Have you ever found yourself glancing through a magazine and asking yourself how did they make the color in this ad look like that? By the end of this four week course, you will know exactly how to do this. Knowing and understanding these wonderful effects and how to create them will make your work more versatile. As a result, your images will look more professional.
After taking this course, your photographic eye will be more elastic. You will think ahead about post processing effects and compose your images differently. As a result, your images will take on a whole new dimension and allow you to be more creative and resourceful. When you look through your lens you will know at once how to further develop that picture you are about to take.
Creative and artistic are the adjectives that will define your style of work from now on!

I am always seeking perfection in my attempt to tell a story in just one frame. As a man, I never really had much interest in reading text; to me the images that illustrate an article or book are the only important thing to focus on. Perhaps Mother Nature sought to compensate for my dyslexia by blessing me with a greater visual imagination.
As a viewer, I love to see how other photographers interpret reality, offering us their unique perspective and point of view to arouse our human curiosity and help us all to develop our creativity by using our imagination.
As an artist, I pay as much attention as possible to details, lighting, colors and texture and include the environment, where the subject of my photograph lives within the frame. I love using my wide-angle lens; I like to make a statement by enlarging a detail in my imagery by deforming the size of objects with this lens, making them appear larger than they really are. It is like underlining a sentence in a book, making it stronger, bolder.
As a photographer, I am obsessed with the idea of being able to tell a full story in one frame only. Too often our minds are influenced by what the narrator or the journalist is telling us; I want individual viewer to be less passive and able to create his or her own vision of reality. That‘s when I feel my mission has been accomplished, because my task is reporting the truth to viewers and at the same time leaving them enough space and freedom to create their own story through their imagination, with my imagery.
