This workshop will be a combination of in-person and Zoom sessions.

Workshop Description

This three-part workshop will explore some of the techniques David has utilized to produce abstract images. He will show many examples and describe the transformative processes from initial image to final product. You will then have an opportunity to visit a venue to capture some images that might result in interesting abstracts. Lastly, there will be a session to share and discuss the abstract images that you produced from the venue visit.

Some of the techniques to be discussed include:

• In Camera (including extreme blur, intentional camera movement)
• Lightroom image Inversion
• NIK Preset usage (Analog Efex Pro 2 and Silver Efex Pro)
• Photoshop effects of radial blur, spherize, wave, and zigzag
• Using other software such as Lunapic and Glitchy3BitDither
• Smartphone apps such as RollWorld, Tiny Planet, and Hipstamatic

About the Instructor

David employs his life-long interest in graphic design by focusing on contrasts, shapes, movement, edges, harmony, patterns, and the juxtaposition of the obvious with the unfamiliar, all within the transient nature of the physical world. His most recent photographic foray has been within the vast forest of abstract imagery.
David's work has been included in curated exhibitions at the Griffin Museum of Photography, Philadelphia Sketch Club, Phillips Mill Photography Gallery, PA Center for Photography, Southeast Center for Photography, and Alfa Art Gallery, and is in the permanent collection at the Center for Creative Photography.
