Impressionistic Photography / Charles Needle

Impressionistic Photography:
How to Use your Camera or (Phone) as a Paintbrush

Unlock your creative potential and discover how to craft impressionistic-looking photographs using nothing but your digital camera or smartphone. Award-winning California-based fine art photographer Charles Needle will describe the process of using long-exposure and multiple- exposure techniques to transform everyday scenes into unimaginable visual masterpieces.

Charles’ program will begin with a short inspirational slide show, followed by a lecture covering techniques, such as Long-Exposure Pan/Tilt, “Multiple-Exposure Monet” (a technique Charles invented), Multiple-Exposure Rotate & Zoom, Soft-Glow Montage and Composite Montage. He will also demonstrate how to use a free script in Photoshop to accomplish this same look, if your camera does not have built-in multiple exposure capability.
