Joe Reardon Photography
Learn photography from a master artist!
Joe Reardon is a Master Photographer born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. His passion for photography began while in his teens when his dad presented him with a 35mm camera that he had won at a local tavern poker game. From the moment he saw his first images he knew that photography would be his voice in the world. Joe pursued formal photography training as a military photographer in the US Navy and graduating from the New England School of Photography. Joe’s work has afforded him the unique opportunity to travel the world and to capture the essence of nature everywhere he has visited.
Joe regularly leads workshops locally, nationally, and internationally. He has produced numerous videos for Topaz Labs over the years and currently also teaches individuals and groups in post process editing.
This videos in this library represent fifty plus years of experience in every facet of photography. Let me bring you from basic camera functionality to advance techniques using tilt shift lenses. I will also cover composition, photo rules and special effects with in camera motion. On the post process side I will teach you basic and advanced skills in Lightroom, Photoshop, Topaz Suite, TK7 Luminosity Masking and Artisan Pro.
In addition, I will instruct you in how to develop a personal style, prepare for gallery adjudication, and develop a color and black and white post process workflow.
