The course deals with two different kinds of subjects: first of all, techniques that will enhance and stylize your images; but second, how to envision your final image from the start.
I will not show you the missing fine art button in PhotoShop, because there isn’t one, but I will share with you lots of techniques and tips to make your images more grabbing, communicative, inspiring, innovative, artistic.
If you think that your photographs are sellable, you may be just one click away from right. These techniques will give your photographs the “boost” they need to stand out and call for attention.
Most of all, I will help you to develop a personal work strategy, to plan an artistic “workflow” that will differ each time according to what you want the final look of your photo to be. You will learn how to “read “your own photographs while removing the personal attachments that may interfere with seeing what the photograph lacks and what you need to do about it. You’ll learn to be 99% honest with yourself and constructively critical about your work.
Course Requirement:

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.
