Understanding “LAYERS” is the key to unleashing the power of PhotoShop. With that in mind, we’ll rebuild one of my “Ancient Myths & Modern Metaphors” pieces from scratch. Some of these images are over 3 gigabytes in size and can contain 20 or more layers. I’ll demonstrating how to achieve complex results using a simplified approach. I strive for a consistent approach using skills that can be easily transferred from one tool to the next. This can significantly reduce the learning curve.
I’ll provide handouts, and there’s always time for questions and discussion. I’ll also demo the plug-ins and helper programs I use in conjunction with PhotoShop.
This is a seminar – not a workshop. I’ll project my desktop and describe in detail what I’m doing.
Bio:
William Pitcher decided to become a photographer while sitting in a bar in Buffalo, New York. With a couple of beers on the table in front of him, a jukebox playing in the corner, and a life size image of a scantily clad Marilyn Monroe on the wall, he proclaimed this fact to everyone within earshot - it was 1954, and he was seven years old.
This surreal-like atmosphere set the stage for a lifetime of visualization and unconventional thought. As a student of light and line, colour and composition, William has an innate understanding of how a camera ‘sees’ compared to how the human brain assembles an image.
Primarily a storyteller, William’s photographic career has centered on industrial projects across Canada, and his reputation for working under difficult lighting conditions has allowed him to maintain an international client list, even while living in a small Rocky Mountain community. Scheduled for 2008 are projects in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Toronto, and New York.
