"Creative Vision, Fine Art Photography, and the Post-Processing Playground" by Joanne Barsanti


For me, the click of the shutter is just the starting point of an artistic adventure. The camera is only one of many tools in my arsenal; which includes a variety of software programs, a collection of good and bad photos that I have created in the last ten or so years, and a growing assortment of paper and fabrics to hold the final images.

(an Egret seen three different ways)
The most important tools, however, are those that money cannot buy: imagination, creativity, and a sense of play. It’s all about experimentation, losing your fear of failure, and a desire to come up with something unique that you are proud to share with the world.

Keeping in mind that cameras are imperfect devices, and the post-processing world has come a long way from the days of film and the dark room....

Two ordinary shots.....












Combined to make something interesting and beautiful....
I invite you to come with me to the playground, let your imagination run free, and learn some new techniques for having fun with your photography. I will guide you using examples of my own original images, and show how they are transformed into works of fine art. I will share what I have learned about both digital and physical textures, and how the selection of output media can enhance your work.  

Joanne Barsanti has been a member of Chicago area Camera Clubs, Photography Groups, and Artists Guilds since 2010. She has learned and grown; benefiting greatly from these groups, their members, outings, presentations, and other opportunities. As a former Geek who is an artist at heart, it should come as no surprise that she likes to play with her images on the computer.
