Turn everyday scenes into evocative works of fine-art abstraction
Why Embrace Abstraction?
You’ve nailed focus, exposure and colour—but you’re craving that spark of originality that lifts a photograph from “nice” to unforgettable.
The secret lies in learning to see beyond the obvious … and then using photographic design to craft the strongest possible image.
In this intensive, one-day workshop, I’ll share my process for creating abstract photographs using my Photographic Design Framework—a psychology-based system that trains your eye to extract extraordinary pictures hiding in everyday surroundings.
Here’s What We’ll Do Together
- Mindset Reset & Prep Talk – We’ll kick off the day at Gallery Photiq in Leamington Spa at 9 am. I’ll guide you through a few simple mental shifts to help you start seeing opportunities everywhere.
- Guided Urban Exploration – In a small group, we’ll roam the backstreets and hidden nooks of Leamington Spa. I’ll show you how to spot compelling shapes, textures, patterns, reflections … incredibly rich and productive subject matter most people would walk right by.
- Hands-On with the Photographic Design Framework – You’ll learn to apply Gestalt principles and visual psychology techniques to construct the strongest images possible. I’ll demonstrate how to isolate form, play with negative space and compose for maximum impact and engagement.
- Image Review & Post-Processing Clinic – After a lunch break we’ll reconvene in a cosy meeting room near the town centre. We’ll talk through your images on the big screen, then dive into my favourite Lightroom and Photoshop techniques to polish your abstractions into print-ready images.
- Actionable Takeaways – You’ll leave with checklists, step-by-step assignments and plenty of inspiration—everything you need to keep your new abstract vision alive long after the workshop ends.
