Stand out in a sea of everyday images
In the world of photography, capturing a great image is just the beginning. Making that image stand out in an ever-expanding digital universe is the real challenge.
Feeling uninspired?

Meet your instructor: Alana Lee
Hi there, I’m Alana. Ever felt like your photography is just another drop in the vast ocean and gets lost in an endless feed of images? You're not alone. That's precisely why I started using textures in my Photoshop editing workflow. It’s like finding that secret ingredient that turns a good dish into a culinary masterpiece—textures can make great photographs even better.
Imagine stepping into a world where each photo you take tells a deeper story, thanks to the layers and emotions textures bring. Have you ever looked at a piece of art and felt it speak to you? That's the magic I wanted every photographer to experience. Over the years I've spent countless hours in Photoshop, creating and applying textures in ways that add a fine art touch to images. And guess what? It's not rocket science (though it sometimes feels like unlocking a superpower 🚀) PLUS it is so much fun! Before you know it you'll be inspired to create all the time as you discover the infinite number of ways you can create and use textures in your photography.
I created The Art of Texture: Creating and Editing Textured Photographs in Photoshop because I believe everyone should have the tools to make their images stand out. It's more than just a course; it's your secret recipe to transform your portfolio and reignite your passion for photography. Let's face it, we've all hit that creative wall (more times than we care to admit), but here’s your ladder over it. Ready to infuse your work with depth, emotion, and that elusive signature style?

Joining this course during the beta phase means you'll get extra attention from the course instructor, and an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback. We want to hear what works, and also what doesn't. Whether it's a technical or formatting glitch, or content that you feel could be added or changed to give you more clarity, we want to know so that we can make this the best experience possible. Beta participants will also be invited to provide honest testimonials that will help others when deciding if this course is a good fit for them.
