Introduction to Photoshop: Basic Editing for Beginners.
This concise, hands-on workshop is tailored to give beginners a practical introduction to Photoshop, leaving them with the confidence to start editing their own images.
This evening workshop will be hosted by Laura Hudson Mackay in a small group setting, in our well appointed digital suite. The workshop is designed for beginners looking to learn the fundamentals of Adobe Photoshop.
Participants will bring their own photographs to practice with, giving them hands-on experience with key editing tools. The session will cover basic photo corrections, layers, and essential tools, helping participants build a solid foundation for further Photoshop use.
The Photoshop for Beginners Workshop will take place from 6pm until 8.30pm and include tea/coffee and refreshments. We will be using our digital suite which is upstairs so unfortunately not accessible for wheelchairs.
Laura Hudson Mackay is a professional photographic Artist living in Dumfries and Galloway. Laura completed an Advanced Diploma in Illustrative Photography at Glasgow Metropolitan College in 2006 and a Diploma with Distinction in Art History at London Art College in 2013. Laura is an Associate Member of the Royal Photographic Society.
Both film and digital cameras are used and Laura explores concepts including Thresholds and Thin Places, doorways into other worlds; portals, ancient buildings or natural forms, particularly stone and wood. Still life subjects include organic forms such as flowers, feathers; found objects, employing an ever-growing library of photographic textures to create otherworldly images, which enchant and mystify.
While at home during the pandemic Lockdown in Spring 2020, Laura began spending time in her home studio, adventuring into the colourful land of food and product photography under the name ‘Lolliography’. There has proven to be significant demand for this high quality work which has lead to a growing client base and resulted in the setting up of a photographic studio, here at Shambellie House!
Laura has hosted photographic walking tours in The Marrakech Medina, Morocco to both groups and individuals. She has also given demonstrations in Still Life photography in her Spring Fling Open Studio events.
Please bring a selection of digital images on a pen drive (around a dozen) that we can work from during the workshop.
