Removing small distracting elements in your images has become state of the art in many photo editing tools. But with recent developments, adding content is also possible: Imagine you have captured a beautiful scene with your camera only to notice later that you cropped it to tightly and important elements are either cut off or do not have enough “room to breathe”. Another situation may be that the aspect ratio does not fit your beloved frame or wall space. These situations and more can be addressed with creating some extra peripheral space and filling it with content.
This workshop explores different Remove or Generate tools in Photoshop to help improve your composition. Many of them are additions to more recent Photoshop releases, employing AI methods to great success. We will also look into stretching and warping methods to compensate for various shooting constraints.
This is an online and interactive workshop presentation using Zoom. An email will be sent prior to the start date with information on how to join.

I was born and raised in the Franconia region of Germany. It’s landscape is not unlike Vermont’s rolling hills, forests and rivers. And this is where, at the age of 10, I started photography when I got my first camera. But education and my profession drew me further and further away until I ended up in Vermont by choice. I feel humbled and proud to call this state my home for over 20 years.
Travel and landscape photography have been my favorite subjects since the beginning. And over the years, I picked up macro and abstract photography as well as a passion for nightscapes.
My equipment and I have evolved (matured?) into the age of digital SLR, and now mirrorless photography. The digital workflow is a perfect fit for me. It not only gives full control of the whole process from composition to print or online publishing. But more importantly, the software tools available these days enable every creative freedom possible.
Photography is more to me than just preserving a memory. It is capturing an emotion, telling a story and expressing myself at the same time. Just as Don McCullin said, “Photography to me is not looking, it is feeling. If you can’t feel what you are looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when looking at your pictures”.
While classic, journalistic photography is all about capturing and presenting subjects as close to the reality as possible, my style has evolved towards what is called "photo-art". It is more about personal interpretations of the captured scene and ultimately an artistic vision. My post processing techniques are aimed to emphasize the mood and emotions at the time of exposure.
