SUMMARY:Barb Kreutter – Woven Vision: A Textile Designer’s Journey Into Abstract Photography.
DESCRIPTION:Barb shares fresh ideas and inspiration to help you explore and discover new ways of photographing and creating your own abstract imagery. \n(As well as access to the live event\, you will automatically receive a link to the recording\, valid for 28 days) \nSee and enjoy a selection of her photographic series\, with the original images that act as starting points\, and how they evolve into resolved abstract works. \nLearn from a demonstration showing techniques to manipulate colour\, and apply editing methods\, that are often overlooked in traditional workflows. \nDrawing on her background in textile design and weaving\, Barb‘s expressive photographic images brilliantly evoke the texture\, rhythm\, and colour of woven fabrics. \nBarb Kreutter began her creative career in textile design and weaving before moving into the computer industry in 1990\, where she developed strong technical skills that later informed her photographic practice. \nDeeply missing the creative process her search eventually led to the wonders of abstract photography. \nBarb is a juried member of the Alberta Society of Artists and the Abstract’d Art Collective\, and her work has been exhibited in group shows across Canada\, the USA and the UK.

SUMMARY:Tony North – The Art Of Macro
DESCRIPTION:Discover how to approach macro photography; how thoughtful fieldcraft and creative judgement can transform subjects into compelling images. \n\n\n(As well as access to the live event\, you will automatically receive a link to the recording\, valid for 28 days) \n\n\nTony shares his experience of photographing insects in the field\, explaining how he approaches macro not simply as documentation\, but as a creative and expressive art form. \n\n\nMacro photography offers the opportunity to explore a world that often goes unnoticed\, revealing intricate detail and behaviour at close quarters. \n\n\nBy understanding the full process – from initial vision through to final presentation – you will leave with a clearer sense of how to develop your own distinctive approach to macro work. \n\n\nA central theme of the talk is seeing beyond surface detail. Light\, depth of field and composition can be used to create mood and atmosphere\, helping viewers engage emotionally with even the smallest subjects. \n\n\nTony North is a Manchester-based photographer specialising in macro photography. Since taking up photography in 2016\, he has gained numerous awards and distinctions\, including MPAGB and ABPE\, and was overall winner of International Garden Photographer of the Year in 2023.

SUMMARY:Affinity Tuition Sessions with James Ritson (4 workshops)
DESCRIPTION:Mondays 2\, 9\, 16 & 23 March @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm UK (Recordings are available for any missed live sessions – valid until 27th April) \nThis four-part series of workshops has been designed to help photographers build confidence and fluency in the free Affinity application.    \n(As well as access to the live event\, you will automatically receive a link to the recordings\, valid for 28 days after the final session) \nJames will introduce Affinity as a free-to-use\, complete post-processing environment\, explaining its background\, core principles\, and how its tools are designed to support thoughtful\, non-destructive image making. \nThe opening session establishes a practical foundation\, demonstrating essential features such as RAW development\, layers and masking\, HDR merging\, tone mapping\, and image stacking\, alongside a sneak peek at some new functionality being worked on for the next major version. \nThe workshops then move into structured\, end-to-end editing workflows\, showing how to take an image from initial RAW adjustments through careful retouching\, refinement\, and export. Emphasis is placed on maintaining flexibility throughout the process\, using non-destructive techniques that allow creative decisions to evolve without compromising image quality. \nLater sessions explore more specialised and demanding scenarios\, including HDR processing and wildlife photography. James will discuss how to manage tonal complexity\, avoid common pitfalls in high bit-depth editing\, and make considered decisions that strengthen subject emphasis while controlling noise and visual distractions. \nThe final session focuses on low-light imagery\, covering approaches to enhancing detail\, managing colour\, and building depth through dodging\, burning\, and stacking. This leads into Astrophotography and other workflows\, examining how Affinity can be used to process challenging files while retaining subtlety and atmosphere. \nJames Ritson\, part of the software development and research team at Affinity\, is a programmer\, photographer and software specialist with extensive experience working with Affinity for image processing workflows. He is known for his clear\, methodical teaching style and deep understanding of non-destructive editing workflows\, helping photographers develop efficient\, flexible\, post-processing practices grounded in careful observation and creative intent.
