Our Program
This intensive workshop will help you take your technical skills to the highest level in ways designed to enhance your personal style.
In depth daily reviews of portfolios / projects will highlight community resources and set the stage for both creative and technical demonstrations that will help you take your work to the next level.

You’ll see two top pros process their own files, each other’s files, and your files revealing that technique can become an art. We’ll do all of this with and eye to helping you develop your own personal style.

How is this Raw Creativity session different than our the Art Of Creativity?
The Art Of Processing is less conceptual and more technical. It’s about strengthening your skills while our other program will concentrate on skills and vision. It’s about execution. It’s best for people who have a clear idea of where they’re going and what they want to produce and want to explore optimum ways to get there. Take this workshop and you’ll be able to make the very most of your Raw files in ways that emphasize your personal style. Or, take both! They’re designed to complement each other perfectly.
While not everyone can or does, we recommend you take our Raw Creativity workshops in this progression Art Of Creativity (Vision), Art Of Processing (Style), and Master Class (Project). They’re designed to complement each other perfectly!
