Lisa and Tom Cuchara see the beauty in decay and abandonment. In this book, they take you on a guided journey of historic, grand, dramatic, and unique locations and provide tips to help you capture creative fine-art photographs of rusty, dusty subjects and locations. In this book, you’ll find a plethora of urban exploration images and discover the processes used to create each one. You’ll learn how to capture HDR images, create long-exposure photos, and paint with light. You’ll also learn how to approach challenging locations, deal with high contrast scenes, create stitched HDR panoramics, and produce light and shadow effects. The authors share the gear that was used, the camera settings, the story behind the scene, and how they pre-visualized their images and looked for light (or created it) in each location. This book will inspire you to visit new “old” places and to get to know them well enough to tell their story.<br />

<span style="font-size: 14.85px;">Lisa and Tom Cuchara see the beauty in decay and abandonment. In this book, they take you on a guided journey of historic, grand, dramatic, and unique locations and provide tips to help you capture creative fine-art photographs of rusty, dusty subjects and locations. In this book, you’ll find a plethora of urban exploration images and discover the processes used to create each one. You’ll learn how to capture HDR images, create long-exposure photos, and paint with light. You’ll also learn how to approach challenging locations, deal with high contrast scenes, create stitched HDR panoramics, and produce light and shadow effects. The authors share the gear that was used, the camera settings, the story behind the scene, and how they pre-visualized their images and looked for light (or created it) in each location. This book will inspire you to visit new “old” places and to get to know them well enough to tell their story. (Lisa and Tom Cuchara)</span></div>

Even to a trained photographer’s </span></span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">eye, many of their pieces do not even look like photographs; they appear to be surreal and even fantasy-like. </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px;">Their art will draw you in and encourage you to draw your own conclusion or story.

Topaz Impression generates natural painterly effects by painting brushstrokes one at a time. (It just does this very fast!) Impression can paint over 10,000 brushstrokes in less than a second, all while completely following your artistic direction, making truly personal art that you can call your own.</div>
<br />
NEW FEATURES<br />
If you’re already familiar with Impression, the updated release of Impression 2, gives you more powerful processing with a completely redesigned framework and the following additional features:<br />
<br />
• 30+ New effects - Impression 2 now comes with over 140 effects!<br />
• Larger Brush Panel - no more squinting to find the brush you need.<br />
• Masking - Impression 2 now includes masking in application! Using a brush, color range, luminosity range, or spot masking, the masking panel even includes our color aware tool.<br />
• Topaz Community - now you can share your created effects with the other users of Impression 2 with a click of a button. Not seeing an effect you like? Browse the Topaz Community to surf an ocean of custom user made effects.<br />
• New brush customization options:<br />
- “Number of strokes” options to change the number of strokes applied to the image.<br />
- “Large Brush Volume” that adjust paint volume in large areas of color to help focus on the details.<br />
- “Stroke “Rotation Variation” to add randomness to your effect strokes.<br />
• Highlight and Shadow control in the lighting menu.<br />
• Support for High DPI (4k) monitors in Windows 7/8/10<br />

High and extended dynamic range photography – not something that every artist does. But, if you're looking to expand your talent and skills, then this is your opportunity! <b>We will go on location, exploring a site that has incredible texture and detail. </b>Spend some time on a photo shoot and then process the images later the same day. You'll learn the right camera set up, explore how to take the best photos, and then <b>discuss the post-processing steps in detail</b>. Come prepared for an educational, fun-filled day as you master HDR! </div>

Editing isn't just a few key-clicks and retouches. To do it well takes skill, talent, and knowledge so that your photos look natural and real. In this class, you'll combine creativity with technical expertise as you learn to edit your images. Explore layers and masks. Discover how applying textures can enhance your images. Delve into blend modes, as well as artistic uses for soft light, multiply, lighten and screen modes. Best of all, this class is hands-on! <b>Bring your camera to shoot some images (textures) in the morning. </b>Then, you'll hear Lisa Cuchara's engaging presentation on how to edit, and then you'll start doing it yourself! Please bring a few images of your own so you can continue practicing in the afternoon. Take your creativity and skills to the next level – your clients will love you for it!<br />

Six prints created by Lisa Cuchara of BREA Photos in Hamden have recently been awarded<b> Blue ribbons (Award of Expert)</b> at the Connecticut Professional Photographers of America's 2016 Annual Print Competition. Lisa's work was on display at the Sheraton Hartford South, March 18-20 2018, in Rocky Hill, CT. This exhibition was held in conjunction with the CTPPA convention, an annual convention of professional photographers and photographic associations. Lisa's portrait website can be viewed at www.BREAphotos.com and her creativity and teaching website can be viewed at www.photographybylisaandtom.com.<br />
<br />
Lisa also won CTPPA <b>Photographer of the Year</b> in the ART/EI category (based on the total accumulated points) from all four quarterly competitions and CTPPA <b>Photographer of the Year</b> in the Creative category (based on the total accumulated points) from all four quarterly competitions. This is the third year in a row that Lisa has won CTPPA Photographer of the Year in those two categories.<br />
<br />
A panel of five eminent jurors selected the top images from all of the submitted entries. Judged against a standard of excellence, Lisa's images were selected for awards — the best of the best. Lisa's photographs entitled "Frog on Calla Lily" (highest scoring print of the 2016 convention), "Veiled chameleon", "Prison tough", "Barn with star trails and first light", "Disoriented at the Insane Asylum" and "Left behind" all earned Award of Expert Blue ribbons. Lisa also won a <b>Judge's Choice</b> award for one of her photographs and the <b>Kodak award</b> for another one of her photographs. Her photograph "Frog on Cala Lily" was the highest scoring image at the annual print competition. The total of the her six photographs earned Lisa the 2016 CTPPA <b>Treskunoff Award</b> (for the highest total point score for the 6 prints entered at the CTPPA convention).<br />

Texture is that extra something, that signature trademark that can really set a photo apart. In this workshop, Lisa Cuchara discusses how to use texture as a great photographic tool to enhance your images. <br /><br />Watch and learn as Lisa shows you how to apply various textures to your own images and discover the difference they can make! Explore the different moods, feeling and emotions you can elicit from a photo just by using this technique. Discuss the differences in the textures, what blending can do and how your selections can make the picture warmer, softer, more antiquated, grungier – whatever direction you want to take the image! <br /><br />This workshop is a great experience for intermediate level photographers who want to go delve further into the concept of texture. You'll learn how to collect and use your own textures, how to remove them from part of an image, and how to manipulate color within a texture. Gets hands-on as you take photos to use as textures and walk the process all the way through from beginning to end. <br /><br /><strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Course Date:</strong> Wednesday, October 7, 2015</div>
