Program:
Dave
David will demonstrate the use of High Dynamic Range ( HDR) technique combined with the use of Topaz filters that produces unique dramatic images. We as photographers must continually change and adapt to new technologies in order to stay competitive. This is just one way you can do that.
Lisa
“Photoshop makes everything so much easier!” Yes, but at the cost of how much of our time? Use those times when sessions and orders are a little slow to tune up Photoshop. There are a great number of ways that we can automate things to help us be more efficient when it gets busy. Lisa will be going over some of her favorite quick tips. A few of the other areas she will be covering are “creating your own templates” and “using smart layers”.
About the Speakers:
Dave's experience is unmatched in Northeast Colorado and most of the rest of the state. He is a member of Professional Photographers of America and holds a masters degree and craftsmans degree from leading institutions. His prints have been exhibited in Germany, Korea, and many places in the United States including the Epcott Center in Florida. Fourteen of his prints have been published in the prestigious loan collection books published by the Professional Photographers of America. As a result, he was honored with the rare Imaging Excellence Award and Photographer of the Year at the international level of competition. Dave is only one of three people in the state of Colorado to have achieved this honor at the present date. Dave is also a past president of the Rocky Mountain Professional Photographers of America (a five-state region). He is also a past board member of the Colorado Professional Photographers.
Today you cannot achieve success without the computer skills needed in conjunction with the photographic skills. Lisa is our answer to this challenge. Lisa’s knowledge is sought after as she has lectured to other professionals in both Colorado and Wyoming and she continually gets calls from other professionals for her advice. Every day she invents new and exciting creations. Lisa spends many hours a week on research and development of her new creations. Lisa combines her old school art skills with her new school technical skills to create the best of both worlds.
