About
Hazel Meredith is an award-winning photographer, teacher, speaker, workshop leader and a highly respected competition judge. In 2007, she began teaching post-processing techniques through local adult education programs, camera clubs and conferences across the U.S., as well as through her own workshops. She is a frequent webinar presenter for Topaz Labs.
She released her first eBook, “Working with Textures & Overlays: Turn Ho-Hum into a Work of Art” in 2015, and the sequel in the Spring of 2019. Hazel loves the creative aspect of photography and post-processing, especially the use of textures, overlays and software to create unique images. She enjoys teaching and sharing her techniques to assist other photographers in realizing their own creative visions. In 2017 she and her husband, Dave, founded the “Creative Photography Conference” in New England, with the 4th Conference coming up in April.
Hazel is actively involved with the photographic community on local, regional and national levels and has held leadership roles in several organizations. In 2012 she received the Photographic Society of America (PSA) Service Award and in Sept., 2013, she was awarded the distinction of APSA from the PSA. At the New England Camera Club Council (NECCC) Conference in July, 2018, she received the distinction of HonNEC. She believes that camera clubs and organizations are a great way to share the passion of photography and keep learning and sharing new techniques.
I love seeing the "aha" moment when it all clicks for the student!
