Dana Scruggs connects the realms of editorial, commercial, and fine art photography through her ability to create visual narratives that uniquely illustrate her point of view as an artist. The post-production process plays an integral role in shaping Dana’s aesthetic and photographic storytelling.

In this seminar, Dana takes participants through her process of color editing, retouching, and cropping images to create a visual narrative that speaks to the subject matter while also exploring how to creatively push images to viability, even when they may not seem like obvious choices. Dana uses Lightroom and Photoshop, demonstrating how these tools are key parts of her workflow. Her clients include TIME Magazine, Google, The New York Times, Nike, Vogue, GQ, Rolling Stone, and Vanity Fair. Her fine art work has been acquired by The Museum of Fine Arts Houston, The National Museum of African American History and Culture, and Fotografiska.
