NEXT WEEK’S TALK-&-LEARN THEME:
Free One-hour image critique and Photoshop tips.
For the love and passion of Photography and Art.
Please join me for these sessions where I’ll be reviewing and critiquing images based on the session's theme. I will analyze images that stand out, those that need refinement, and those that missed the mark. I’ll explain what makes some images stronger than others and, most importantly, provide actionable tips to improve the "not quite there" shots—whether through in-camera techniques or Photoshop adjustments. Along the way, I’ll share valuable Photoshop how-tos, workflow insights, and ideas to enhance your artistic vision.
You are more than welcome to participate and submit your image to be showcased in the session. When you sign up, if you choose to submit an image, I will contact you to upload your image.
No need to have any knowledge of Photoshop, you are welcome to just sit back and observe. You do however need to register. A link to the Tuesday Sessions will be emailed TUESDAY MORNING with the Zoom session link.
NOTE: The Zoom sessions will be recorded and a small thumbnail of your image might appear. If you choose to not appear, please turn your webcam off.

The theme of music in photography captures the essence of harmony, rhythm, and movement, translating auditory experiences into visual storytelling.
Whether it’s the vibration of a guitar string, the sweeping motion of a conductor’s baton, or the energy of a live performance, music-themed photography evokes the emotion and dynamism of sound.
By focusing on textures, gestures, and the interplay of light and shadow, photographers can create images that resonate with the rhythm and soul of music, celebrating its universal and timeless appeal.
