Live Composite Workshop - with Janey Lazenby

It is incredibly rare to get a look behind the curtain of a master fine-art composite creator—let alone to see the entire process happen completely live, right before your eyes!

We are absolutely thrilled to welcome back a true community-favourite, Janey Lazenby. Janey has a massive following and hasn't presented for Camversation for years, so we are delighted to have her back for this exclusive evening.

In this unique live demonstration, Janey will take us on a step-by-step journey to build a compelling, story-driven piece of art using an equine theme. She will start with raw image elements and show you exactly how she changes the background, matches colours and pieces together a brand-new narrative from scratch.

There are no shortcuts or pre-baked tricks here. With a degree in fine art, 25 years of experience, and a formal qualification in adult education, Janey is a master at breaking down complex editing steps into clear, digestible guidance. She will navigate the entire process slowly, explaining every single click, tool, and creative decision along the way.

You Will Learn:

• Asset Selection: How to evaluate and pick the perfect backgrounds and textures that will actually work for a composite.

• What to Avoid: Janey will share her essential do's and don'ts, showing you exactly what types of backgrounds and textures not to use to save you hours of frustration.

• Colour Matching: Steps to strip away conflicting tones and blend your subjects into their new environment.

• Atmospheric Storytelling: How to use layer work and textures to create a cohesive, gallery-quality finish that tells a story.

From Mark:

I have known Janey for a long time, and her international award-winning work speaks for itself. But what makes her truly special is her background in adult education. She knows exactly how to teach without rushing. Watching a fine artist edit completely live like this is an opportunity that doesn't come around often, and I know our community is going to gain so much practical confidence from her presentation.
