As an attendee of Stephanie Johnson's Intentional Creative Moments series, we felt you'd enjoy having the optional slides to complete the experience, allowing you to keep a permanent reference of her entire process. Lots of people on Camversation enjoy having something to download & keep!
This isn't just a single set of slides; it's a 4-part, creative walkthrough in a PDF format.
For £24, you get all four downloadable slide decks from Stephanie's workshop, packed with her inspiring philosophy, practical step-by-step techniques, and dozens of her stunning, full-page art images. It's a beautiful visual library and a technical guidebook you can refer back to forever.
What's Inside This 4-Part Collection:
This bundle includes the complete, content-rich PDF decks from all four teaching sessions.
Part 1: Multiple Exposure & Creative Camera Techniques (55+ Pages) This foundational slide deck is a class in itself. It's not just what to do, but why.
Explore Stephanie's personal creative journey and the philosophy of Intentional Creative Moments.
Learn how she looked to break free from self-imposed creative limitations.
Get step-by-step visual guides to Multiple Exposure (ME) and ME-ICM.
See comparisons of in-camera blend modes (Bright, Dark, Average).
Learn more about techniques like Burst Mode, Rotation, and layering images from your memory card.
BONUS: Includes a complete guide to using Color Temperature (White Balance) as a powerful, practical creative tool.
Part 2: Overview of Cyanotype Processes & Techniques (90+ Pages) It is a comprehensive technical manual for creating cyanotypes, from the basic chemistry to Stephanie’s advanced experimental techniques.
The Foundations: A complete breakdown of the "Dry" process, including mixing chemistry (Part A + Part B), essential tools, exposure times, and a guide to the best papers (Hahnemühle vs. Arches).
Beyond the Basics: Move into Wet-on-Dry and Wet-on-Wet techniques. How to manipulate the process using household items like vinegar, lemon juice, and soap suds to create organic, painterly effects.
Texture & Color: Discover how to break the "blue" rule by adding kitchen spices (turmeric, paprika) for color, or using salt and cling film (plastic wrap) for incredible textures.
Hybrid Workflow: Learn how to properly digitize your physical prints (scanning vs. photographing) and how to merge worlds by creating cyanotypes directly on top of your printed ICM images.
Experimental Finishes: Includes guides on fixing prints without washing them (to keep vibrant colors) and bleaching techniques.
Part 3: Abstract & Creative Processing in Photoshop (60 Pages) Move beyond basic edits and learn to use Photoshop as a true artistic tool. This deck breaks down Stephanie’s specific digital workflow for creating "The Art of Gathered Elements."
Single Image Mastery: Learn how to create complex abstracts from a single file by duplicating, rotating, and resizing layers, utilizing blend modes like Pin Light and Difference.
Multi-Image Blending: A guide to combining multiple in-camera files (e.g., 9-exposure rotations) to build depth and complexity.
Custom Textures: A step-by-step guide to creating your own textures from scratch using spatter brushes and the eyedropper tool to pull colors directly from your original image.
Visual Case Studies: Dozens of "before and after" examples showing exactly how layers interact to create the final piece.
Part 4: Blending Digital & Analog Techniques (60 Pages) The final piece of the creative puzzle. This slide deck shows you how to merge the best of both worlds, combining the soulful, tangible qualities of analog processes (like cyanotypes) with your digital workflow to create rich, layered, mixed-media art.
The Hybrid Workflow: Learn the specific process of selecting digital ICM/ME images and blending them with your scanned Cyanotype prints.
Layer Stack Reveals: See the exact Photoshop layer structures Stephanie uses (blending modes like Soft Light, Exclusion, and Hard Light) to achieve her signature look.
Creative Variations: Visual examples of blending with Dry Cyanotypes, Wet Cyanotypes, and even "Unwashed" Wet Cyanotypes for different artistic effects.
Inspiration: Includes a curated reading list for creative growth.
Why You'll Enjoy These Optional Slides:
A Beautiful Visual Library: These decks are filled with dozens of Stephanie's gorgeous, full-page images, which you can study at your own pace.
Your Go-To Technical Reference: Forget trying to scribble notes during the live sessions! This is your permanent reference. Open it any time to review a specific technique, like ME blend modes, the cyanotype mixing ratios, or Photoshop layer stacks.
A Source of Inspiration: Re-read Stephanie's Key Takeaways and her creative philosophy whenever you feel creatively stuck.
We think this 4-part collection is a great companion to Stephanie's super workshops!
