Becoming an Artist Workshops are coming to the USA!

$399 USD but register now and save $100!

As some of you may already know, this year I'll be visiting 20+ cities around the world. In each city, I'll be leading a unique day-long workshop. And in July and August, it's Dallas and Denver's turn to join the fun!

These workshops are for the people that want to play with both sides of their person. One one side, it's for people that want to learn the intricacies of Lightroom, Photoshop, Aurora HDR and Photomatix. On the other side, it's also for people that like me, dreamers who are coming to know the world, art, and passion in a very different way.

The one-day workshop for Denver, Colorado will be held on Sunday, July 17.

The one-day workshop for Dallas, Texas will be held on Monday, August 1.

Want the workshop to come to your city?

Reminder: The Text HDR Tutorial is Always Free!

I keep a completely FREE HDR Tutorial for Macs and a separate FREE HDR Tutorial for Windows on my website. It is a living document that continues to evolve over the years. It goes over everything you need to get started and is a great introduction to the basics of HDR photography and post processing.
