Colleen's beautiful images illustrated a variety of things to consider in making an image, and she illustrated her process clearly with before/after processing versions of each image, while explaining what changes she had made.

Her rigorous and critical perspectives as well as the analytical and systematic approaches that she brings to photography means that she has much to share. Moreover, she situates all of this within her broader approach to life and its enjoyment. Just yesterday I learned so much through the very thorough review that Colleen undertook online of six of her meaningful images from 2023 and it was amazing how many lessons there were to take away from that session. Moreover, it left me inspired and wanting to start applying many of the topics which she addressed.” ~Helen M., "Making the Photo: The 2023 Edition" webinar
