The talk is designed to inspire the audience to try new ideas and ignore convention in creating a personal project using the camera as a tool to create images from imagination to realisation.

• What is Fine Art Photography? – Artists Vision, the ideas, techniques, body of work and artist statement – the talk helps you understand what is required – told in an entertaining way.
• Photoshop techniques I use to create my work and how to achieve your own style and workflow
• The How and Why – what are you going to shoot, how are you going to shoot it and why are you shooting it
• Studio setups I use and why
• If it can be dreamt, it can be created. ‘Reality is for people without Imagination’ and Gary’s imagination has no bounds, no journey impossible, no step is a step too far, darkness the order of the day.

Gary is the creator and author of The Imaginarium Trilogy—a 450 image fine art story, telling an intricate, fantastical, dark but ultimately beautiful steampunk story through the unique medium of fine art images. So far, eight years in the making, ‘The Imaginarium’ really is unique; telling a complex story in Fine Art Images has not really been seen since the days of Hogarth and ‘Rakes Progress’
The final section of the talk goes through the photoshop and lighting techniques used, finishing up with some handy tips on skin retouching and detail enhancement.

Gary is also available for a full night of photoshop tutorial using techniques he uses in his work, covering shadows, skin retouching and detail enhancement.
