Just because you didn’t get to go to that awesome photography conference doesn’t mean that you can’t learn something from the pros! Occasionally, we’ll be featuring a recommended photography lecture or interview on Phototuts+.

Amy Dresser is a renowned retoucher and has worked in Los Angeles for the past 11 years. Her background has led her to help create fantastic photo manipulations. She craves expressionism, but is forced to balance it with commercial perfection. She spoke at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on October 14th.
