Definition:	In-camera visual effects can be created in a variety of ways, and can augment the creative photographer’s imagery. These techniques include, but are not limited to, montages, multiple exposures, motion blurs, zooms, “swipes” (or “swishes”), image overlays, and longer-than-“normal” exposure times, with or without camera movement. In addition, combinations of these techniques can also produce beautiful images. The best part of this is that you end with a one-of-a-kind image that no one else can duplicate!

Workshop:	For many years I have been using a number of alternative techniques to enhance my photography, but I continue looking for ways to “feed my soul” in this artistic medium. If this type of photography interests you, please contact me so that we can develop a plan to develop your personal visual expression.
