LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. In this week’s episode, Dave interviews Canon Photographer Ben Willmore. Ben has personally taught over 60,000 Photoshop users on three continents. His breakthrough teaching style of “not-just-how-but-why,” has made him the in-house instructor of choice for companies such as Mercedes Benz, Adobe Systems, America Online, the U.S. Air Force, Lexis Nexis and Fisher-Price Toys. He continues to be a featured speaker at publishing conferences and events worldwide, including Photoshop World, the American Society of Media Photographers, Professional Photographers of America and the Royal Photographic Society of England. He’s a member of the Dream Team for NAPP and writes for numerous digital imaging and photography publications, including a monthly column for Photoshop User magazine.
In this episode, Ben talks about his 40 foot touring bus and what it’s like to be on the road all the time, his Route 66 Book project, the craziest thing that has happened while he was touring, something he thinks photographers are overlooking in Photoshop, his extreme hand-held panoramics, HDR, creative light painting and more.
