Last weekend I attended the Photographic Photoshop Workshop with Willem Oets at his studio in Amanzimtoti (http://www.willemoets.com/). People often ask me what program I use to edit my pics and up until now I have used Aperture. However Willem, and just about everyone else who knows anything about photoshop (!) or photography, have said that quite simply, I have to learn Photoshop. Willem holds the most amazing introduction to this program over a weekend workshop that I can not recommend enough to photographers starting out or anyone who has an interest in picking up photography as a hobby. Saturday morning we were given two lovely models to shoot followed by an afternoon and Sunday spent going through the basics and not so basic elements of photoshop. It is absolutely incredible the creative licence photoshop gives you - so much so I fear the rest of my life may be spent editing! Although having said that, those that have liked or encouraged my photography have always said the same thing – that they love the natural element to my work so I’ll be sure not to get too carried away. Here a few pics from the weekend – HUGE thanks to Willem and his team, and the lovely model Shannon Claire Foord.
