BEYOND THE IMAGE

WORKSHOP WITH FLORA BORSI

Live Self-Portrait Photo Shoot & Editing Demonstration 

“This one-day workshop offers a full demonstration of my creative workflow –  from shooting to final retouching. I will begin with a live self-portrait photo shoot, where participants can observe how I photograph myself: how I work with light, camera settings, composition, and pose direction – all in real time.

After the shoot, I’ll continue with a step-by-step editing session using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. I will show how I process the images and build the final look through color grading, retouching, and compositing techniques. 

This workshop is ideal for photographers and digital artists who are curious about self-portraiture, creative editing, or simply want to see how a full workflow comes together — from camera to finished image.

FLORA BORSI

Flora uses photo manipulation to create Self-Portraits, has exhibited worldwide from China to LA and at the Louvre. She’s on US Forbes’30 under 30 list and Hasselblad’s Heroine.

Flora is a fine art photographer. She uses exquisite photo manipulation to create surreal images that are thematically focused on identity, relationships, emotions and dreams. Her immaculate technique and subtle conceptual ideas create beautiful evocations of universal emotions, from lust and desire to despair and loss. Flora at once captures the complex strength and fragility of the human psyche. She expertly visualises dark fantasies and atmospheric dreams, utilising the uncanny and clever metaphor, while unlocking what it means to think, feel, dream and express in the urban world.


Her work often features the female body and she plays with hiding and revealing the eyes or face to leave only the feminine form, exploring questions of female representation and the relationship between body and self.

Flora has exhibited internationally with solo exhibitions in Europe and the USA, and has a solo show at Lanoue Gallery, Boston. She has also exhibited at the Louvre, France. Her artwork was the face of Adobe Photoshop in 2014 and she has made the corporate identity for Adobe’s Creative Cloud in 2019. Her ethereal aesthetic has won multiple art prizes and garnered critical acclaim from press including The Guardian’s Observer and BBC Culture. She got into US Forbes 30 under 30 list and in 2021 Hasselblad chose her as the first Hasselblad Heroine of the year. She’s one of the grand winners of Florence Biennale.​​​​​​​
