The Insight Series, with Lisa Saad

Lisa Saad’s two-day workshop, The Insight Series, is all about creating the surrealistic, and features a solid step-by-step illustrative approach. The shooting, processing, retouching, delivery, and printing of a photographer’s workflow is so important that it will be the basis of the workshops.

The ideas behind the theory, practical, and printing aspects will all be covered with the intention of creating a “Surrealistic Illustrative Image”. Lisa Saad will be demonstrating and educating theories and practices she has developed over the past 31 years as a working professional photographer.

Participants will be shown step-by-step how to digitally enhance and understand all the elements that are required to create stand-out images, taking their photography to the next stage of development.

This workshop has a main component which will be a step-by-step follow along tutorial.

Each participant will:

• follow along on their own computer/laptop.
• have the chance to photograph a bespoke element for their final piece.
• receive a printed copy of their work.
• receive a booklet containing course notes.
• receive a USB containing the files to use within the workshop to create the final image.
• receive a library of 60 Urban Textures and 40 Tonal Sky Gradients.
