In our latest YouTube video, we pull images from The Candid Frame Flickr pool to discus Photoshop as a creative tool and not merely an end to itself. In each of the selected images, we examine how each photograph utilizes the power of the application to achieve a clear, and personal vision. Rather than creating images where the photo enhancement itself becomes the point of interest, the photographs are strong and beautiful images that stand on their own . Hopefully, it will inspire you to think differently about how you might use Photoshop in your own work. If you like what you are seeing in this video, please subscribe to the YouTube Channel as well as join the Flickr pool and submit your images to the growing number of photographs being shared by TCF listeners just like you.

Dawn Bowery is a British photographer residing in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles. She has always had a passion for photography, preferring to document life visually rather than through the written word. Through her travels she developed a love for street photography in far away places like China, Cuba and Morocco where she took an intensive photography course with Creative Escapes. This allowed her the opportunity to develop her skills and gave her the confidence to take her photography to the next level. She was rewarded by having one of her fine art prints from Morocco exhibited at the Royal Academy of Art in their Summer Exhibition 2009 and went on to have several exhibitions in London selling fine art prints to collectors around the world.

In this video, we talk about street photography or my specifically non-cliche street photography. Great street photography is more than snaps of people walking down the street. It's also about color, shape, gesture, human interaction and more. We focus on some of great images that fall into the category of street photography and discuss how the public world we all inhabit can provide inspiration for really great photographs.
Culled from images submitted by listeners to The Candid Frame, we briefly share how you might use shadow in your images to create images with greater impact.

Finding the extraordinary in the ordinary is one of the mantras I like to pursue in my photography. It is particularly important when I'm challenged in finding time to go out and make new photographs. Though, I would love to be regularly traveling to exotic locations and meeting fascinating and photogenic people, it's not always possible. But just because that is the case, it doesn't mean that there is a shortage of opportunities to make good photographs.
In this latest video, we share how our everyday mundane and ordinary world can be the inspiration for great and exceptional photographs. Pulled from the Candid Frame Flickr Group, these photographs contributed by listeners of the podcast will hopefully inspire you to pull out your camera and to create something wonderful from your normal and everyday world.

When did you begin listening to The Candid Frame?
I started listening to the Candid Frame I think 5 years ago. I found the interviews to be the most interesting podcast I was subscribing to. There were a few I listened to regularly like Martin Bailey and the two fellows from Sydney but the CF was the most interesting because I could relate to it directly. I would listen to the questions of the interview and simultaneously listen to the answers and answer the questions myself obviously regarding my own photography.
How long have you been shooting and what inspired your interest in photography?
I started shooting in 1997. I began as a painter and always wanted to be a photo realist painter like chuck close or Richard Estes but I didn’t have the skill. I would do a lot of commission portrait work and I would go into the closets of my clients and dress them up and create scenarios, narratives that would fit them or fit whatever idea I had of them in my head.

In this video, we explore the importance of the shadow. Shadow can not only tell us a lot about the quality of the light, but it can also provide a context for the brighter areas of the frame. Though it can obscure certain detailed with in the composition, it can actually help to reveal the most important element within the frame whether it's color, texture, shape, line or even a gesture.
Culled from images submitted by listeners to The Candid Frame, we briefly share how you might use shadow in your images to create images with greater impact.
