Digital Editing Group: Guest Speaker – Christian Fletcher (Virtual Meeting)
2020-09-21 20:00 - 22:00 | VIC
Digital Editing Group: Guest Speaker – Christian Fletcher
Christian Fletcher has been a professional photographer for 30 years. He has won many awards including AIPP Landscape photographer of the year in 2011 and the inaugural International Photographer of the year in 2014. Christian Fletcher lives in Dunsborough, WA.
Christian Fletcher has perfected the art of light, composition, colour and post processing. He believes that all great landscape images have to have the ‘perfect light’ at their core. He also believes that the use of Photoshop is very important in his work. “I could not get my photos the way they look without Photoshop. It is how I create my art. I don’t use paint on canvas – I smear pixels around on my Wacom Cintiq 24HD Touch. You have to post process your images, all files need it. The camera will not capture the image perfectly, it can’t. It is a dumb instrument.”
As well as having his photographs available in physical and on-line galleries Christian Fletcher offers training and mentorships.

Zoom meeting details will be emailed to MCC Members in advance of this event.
