I know many brushes are no longer appearing on the creative cloud subscription now. In the next few weeks I'll be adding a load of my own brushes to my website for you to enjoy too so sign up to the newsletter at https://thephotographicartisan.com to hear about that or just stop by in a couple of weeks or so and I'll try and have them up there.

My passion is exploring artistry with creative camera techniques and in the digital darkroom -(photoshop)...

I teach ICM and my own embodied camera movement.
Photoshop from beginners to advanced.

One to one via zoom
Courses on the website (including home with feedback)
