Join Sarah as she dives into an in-depth photo retouching process combining speed techniques and fine art editing in Lightroom, Photoshop and Evoto. Start by optimizing a RAW image in Lightroom, exploring color adjustments, skin retouching, and light modifications using Imagen and custom presets, and discuss when to keep the raw essence versus a polished finish. Follow along as Sarah uses her one-click editorial presets for Evoto, emphasizing lighting effects, and meticulously finalizes the look with dodge and burn techniques and color grading.

Photography can do so much more than simply freeze a moment in time. Rather, the camera can be wielded as a powerful tool weaving through time to reveal rich stories and connect them with far-flung audiences. When we truly commit to long term projects, we find a deeper level of connection to the story and discover the ability to extract subtle themes and complex narratives.

Photographers often talk about themselves as "visual storytellers" but ask them about the basic elements of storytelling and they get stuck. We threw the word 'story' around but what does it mean, why does it matter, and how do we use the elements of story and storytelling to make photographs that hook the emotion and the imagination? This presentation is a practical deep dive into those elements, by a photographer whose storytelling abilities were in demand as a humanitarian photographer, and now as a Creative Storytelling Specialist for Apple. This presentation will help you make photographs that connect, and create impact.

In her presentation, Stephanie takes you on a journey of exploration to learn techniques for abstracting the landscape through the lens of Intentional Camera Movement, aka ICM, and Multiple Exposure ICM (ME ICM).  Stephanie has a deep love and passion for the individually expressive nature of ICM and ME ICM, and she encourages photographers to ‘see things differently’ through the lens of their own individual artistry, as well as through the lens of their inner creative selves.  Using ICM as a creative tool enables photographers to do just that.

This presentation delves into the power of connecting deeply with the landscapes we photograph. By understanding the unique qualities of a place—its history, weather patterns, natural rhythms, and our own personal ties to it—we can craft images that resonate with authenticity and purpose. Drawing from years of experience capturing the most remote mountain landscapes of Colorado, I will share how a meaningful relationship with place enhances the creative process and infuses landscapes with emotion and narrative. We’ll explore techniques for planning and scouting, working with changing light and weather, and conveying the grand scale of scenes in a way that goes beyond mere technical skill. Whether you’re aiming to evoke the grandeur of a forest or the serenity of a coastal vista, connecting with the essence of a place can help create images that captivate and inspire.
