The class is led by John Humphrey and Sue Bishop.

John Humphrey's photography covers a wide range of subjects, including landscapes and portraits. Specialising in close-up, floral and abstract studies, John uses a combination of digital and film images, applying computer manipulation to the majority of his images before printing. An Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, John's pictures have featured in many exhibitions, including the London Salon of Photography and the International Exhibition of the Royal Photographic Society.

Sue Bishop is the founder of Light & Land, the most successful photographic tour company in the UK, and the author of Photographing Flowers, Digital Flower Photography, and Colour Light & Composition. Sue's photography was the subject of a six-week solo exhibition at the Royal Horticultural Society in 2004. A range of photographic greetings cards created by Sue was short-listed for the Henries Awards in 2000.

This class is suitable for Epson printer owners and keen photographers who wish to enhance their macro and art photography techniques. A basic understanding of Photoshop and camera usage is assumed.
