Simple and minimalistic Still Life using charity shop vases, bottles and natural light, flowers and plants, both dead and fresh. Created in camera and enhanced in PS, sometimes with added texture, and backgrounds created with brushes to create shapes.
Art Photography - a pot pouri of ideas for improving your photography in camera with simplicity and negative space, and for creating some wonderful art photography with Photoshop using inversion, toning and the Graphite App, plus creative cropping.

.....It is my great pleasure to write on behalf of Kingston Camera Club to say a big thank you for your splendid talk on Monday evening
As you know, I think a successful lecture combines three ingredients: quality images, enjoyment and some ideas or learning. You treated us to all three in a highly polished but light heated evening. I am sure you will have been aware of the high level of engagement and interest.
