Showcasing more than 100 one-of-a-kind flower portraits, Botanical Dreaming is a coffee-table book, a photo seminar, and a self-help book all rolled into one! Let Mark be your guide through the creative process - before, during, and after you've clicked the shutter. In Part One, Mark opens his heart to share his optimistic perspective on life and how it influences his creative process. In Part Two, he reveals his secrets for using a macro lens and natural light to capture eye-catching flower images. Part Three explores the endless possibilities of Photoshop to turn ordinary photos into works of art. The tips and techniques that Mark covers here transcend any particular version of Adobe Photoshop and dip gracefully into the well of classic imagemaking.
