Join us for an inspiring Sunday morning workshop with celebrated WA-based landscape photographer, Christian Fletcher.

It’s not often that Sydney- siders get a chance like this. Christian has won Western Australian Travel Photographer of the Year (2015), International Landscape Photographer of the Year (2014), Western Australian Landscape Photographer of the Year (2011 & 2014) and Australian Landscape Photographer of the Year (2011).

In association with our new sponsor, L&P Digital Photographic, Focus is delighted to offer its Members a four-hour training seminar with Christian Fletcher for just $99, plus booking fee.

Included withinthis fee is a free one-year subscription to Christian’s training website. This currently comprises 23 Photoshop tutorials and 4 e-books, and a commitment to add at least 12 new tutorials and/or e-books annually. So you can decide whether you are getting Christian’s seminar for free, or a subscription to his training package for free.  Either way it’s a win win.

During this seminar, Christian will cover his personal approach to perfect light, composition, colour and processing. For him, it’s relatively easy to capture an image. But a lot harder knowing what direction to take it after it is shot. This seminar is all about getting your creative juices flowing, full of Photoshop tips and tricks, but also the how and the why Christian processes his images the way he famously does.

This event is capped at 40 delegates, due to the size of the venue.

Christian Fletcher has been a professional photographer for 24 years. When reflecting on this timeframe, he finds it interesting to think that he was born back before man walked on the moon, before the mobile phone, before the computer and the Internet, and, well, before digital  anything. Although he will say this doesn’t make him feel old, only ‘experienced’. He started his career by working two non-photography-related jobs to pay the bills, while taking black and white shots on his Roliflex SL35 and developing them in a darkroom in his parents’ house. His initial paid gigs included commercial, portrait and wedding photography, but after six years, he was close to giving it all up when he wandered into Jill Murch’s gallery in Esperance and found new inspiration in landscape photography. He returned to Dunsborough and initially sold his images at local markets and in local businesses. Once his sales increased, he opened his galleries in the early 2000s and Christian Fletcher Photo Images was born.

Christian’s photography has evolved alongside the photographic industry—moving from film to digital and from filters to Photoshop. Christian has perfected the art of light, composition, colour and post processing. He believes that all great landscape images have to have the ‘perfect light’ at their core, and it is this light that he is most respected for.
