SUMMER WORKSHOPS ANNOUNCED!

By | |

So excited to announce my SUMMER WORKSHOPS 2014!

The first two summer workshops have been scheduled! (There are a couple more workshops coming too–Retouching and an iPad class! I’ll be keeping you posted the moment the dates are announced on those as well.)  

It’s been kinda awesome on my end developing and fine tuning these courses.  I never tire of the creativity Photoshop offers and love teaching it to others so they can experience the same kind of delight in the artistry and practicality of this powerful tool.  My personal commitment is to get you comfy from the bottom up with this tool and all you can do with it– from the basics of making a picture look good to the fabulous realm of artistic expression that is possible. 

As with all of my courses my aim is to share everything I know to help you learn and apply the tools and these courses are carefully crafted to do just that.   You can visit the main Workshop page to see the courses currently listed.  Below you’ll find links to the specific pages for the ones currently scheduled.  If you have any questions at all please get in touch and I’ll gladly answer any question you have.

About charr

Charr Crail is a Northern California photographer and artist with an avid passion for creating unique digital imagery. Charr, a full-time freelance photographer, spans the divide between photojournalism and extraordinary art via photography and can trace back her evolution as an photographer/artist from three dominant sources. Her father made his living as a newspaper photographer and as soon as he could, was taking young Charr, then four, on assignments to capture a lifetime of experiences and images. He instilled a sense of adventure and curiosity in her as they would often meander down unknown country roads of the South – just to see and capture what was out there. Soon after, Charr would develop her eye for photography and journalism as “the river that runs through everything she does”. Charr’s mother blessed her daughter with the ability to appreciate art in its various mediums. Further, her mother was able to pass along the joy, satisfaction and excitement one can experience in actively creating something beautiful. It’s no surprise, then, that Charr would become a photojournalist and later a photo editor spanning two decades working for Northern California publications including The Sacramento Bee. Often, her assignments would include community events with a “close to home” theme woven into every image and story she captured. Her photojournalistic experience has therefore been nuanced through everything she produces. She’s also drawn to the wonder of color and the beauty that can be found in the composure of a face and the make-up of the human bodyscape. Charr has won countless awards for masterful pieces including; the Professional Photographers of America LOAN Collection for two consecutive years, WPPI Grand Award and her work has been featured in the Di Rosa Museum in California’s beautiful Napa Wine Region and is also part of the permanent collection. Separately, she instructs digital photography workshops that teach students how to blow out the creativity of their photography in simple methods using programs like Adobe Photoshop and how to market using mobile devices-- Visual Content Creation using Mobile Devices.. Charr lives in Sacramento with her husband Chris and kitties Leeloo and Sadie.
