BUILD YOUR CREATIVE STASH FOR COMPOSITES

Do you want to step into the world of composite imagery using your own photos — but don’t know where to start? See your photography differently and start creating images with endless potential.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to build your own Creative Stash — a personal library of photos, textures, and elements designed specifically for composite art. Shooting for composites is very different from “normal” photography. It’s not about capturing the perfect single image; it’s about collecting building blocks you can reuse again and again to create unique artworks.

  • When I first began making composites with my own photography, I thought I could just pick a favourite shot and create. Instead, I discovered that most of my photos weren’t suited for composites — the angles, lighting, or clutter just didn’t work. I had to learn through a lot of trial and error.

  • That’s why I’m passionate about teaching this step. Understanding how to shoot and prepare photos specifically for composites saves so much frustration and opens up a whole new world of creativity.

What You’ll Discover

  • How to recognise photos that work well for composites (and why many “ordinary” shots don’t).

  • Simple ideas for photographing skies, textures, objects, and backgrounds.

  • Why you don’t need fancy gear — your phone camera works beautifully for capturing assets.

  • The mindset shift that helps you see the world as a collection of creative possibilities.

  • How processing for composites differs from normal editing (including RAW vs JPEG).

  • Practical tips for organising and storing your stash so it’s easy to use when inspiration strikes.
