Oh friends, you're going to love this episode! I have been a fan of Karen McCall and her art, and met her in person at PPA’s Imaging Expo this year. I am thrilled that she agreed to be my guest today because a true artist and Photoshop wizard.
Karen’s been rocking the photography world for 35+ years and has all the accolades—Team USA, Diamond Photographer of the Year, ASP State Elite Award for 7 years running—but what really impressed me is her down-to-earth heart for creativity and teaching.
We dive deep into her passion for digital art—especially Photoshop painting and compositing—and how it’s become not only her creative outlet, but also a profitable part of her photography business. and how art has been her business booster and her therapy.
Some gems you’ll hear:
• The step-by-step of her creative painting process
• How she approaches a new piece from scratch (hint: start with something you love!)
• Why AI has a small role in her work—and why that’s intentional
• Tips for photographers who want to dip their toes into digital art
• How art, joy, and profit can all go hand-in-hand
FYI…She has an amazing workshop “Photoshop Painting from Drab to Fab”, where students learn how to turn simple images into masterpieces.
And she’s sharing a free gift! Check out her site for downloadable goodies: education.karenmccall.com
