HOME OF BEYOND THE LENS PHOTOSHOP ACTIONS & TEXTURES
INTRODUCTION
I've been styling & photographing
floral arrangements for over twelve years.
It all started with a passion to create beautiful photographs from simple florals I could style on my own kitchen table. With skills in Photoshop I was able to process and create my own Actions, taking my work beyond what the camera alone can achieve.

AVAILABLE COLLECTIONS OF ACTIONS & TEXTURES
BEYOND THE LENS
Beyond the Lens Action Collections work with Photoshop Creative Cloud (CC) as add on Actions Collections. Both will take your photographic work beyond what the camera alone can achieve. Actions play-out quickly giving you brighter, tonally altered, sharper, creative images through pre programmed steps that you can reuse over and over again, giving you reliable results.
Applying Photoshop Actions is like an artist applying paint, each layer softly builds creating beautiful results the camera alone cannot achieve.
Create your own kind of beautiful
with my NEW Photoshop Actions that work perfectly across all the seasons.

Collection of Photoshop Actions
Create beautifully enhanced, creative images with this new collection created from over 15 years of programming and editing experience. Designed specifically for all your floral editing needs.
ALL ABOUT ME
Hello, I'm Sarah Gardner
I'm a professional photographer, author, artist and all round creative thinker with over 16 years of professional experience.
I live in a former Kiln Keepers cottage in the heart of Buckinghamshire, England. Across the lane from my garden gate are paddocks the Grand Union Canal and a pretty orchard. I have a deep rooted connection with English flowers that's been with me since my childhood. Having now established a garden full of seasonal tulips, roses and meadow flowers I enjoy photographing what I grow. I gain a deep sense of joy from preserving the beauty of flowers in photographic form and sending my work out into the world for others to enjoy.
Established in 2008
