Educational Courses
Do you struggle to think of creative, and genuinely new ideas? I am sharing my decades of experience and the methods I use as a photo-illustrator, photographer and advertising creative. By the end of this course you'll be very well armed with the tools and methods which allow you to talk with the'creative self' we all have inside us.
In this course, I show you how to light your subjects for that renaissance look and then take you through step by step editing processes which pushes that moody, emotive, expressive and artful look even further. With numerous lighting setups, followed up with my special 'painterly' editing techniques from which you. can pick and choose from to your own taste.
A brand new course on its way hosted by Richard Wood and Craig Turner Bullock. In this course you'll not only learn how to light animals in the studio and outdoors in a generous number of ways, alongside a wealth of editing... but also how to handle them so they become your best models they can be.
I've created a course that challenges you to dive into your imagination and produce compelling images that evoke emotion and tell stories. Learn how to take an initial creative idea and turn it into an amazing piece of art with my masterful techniques in lighting, shooting, and post-production.
