artform: Dental Photography & Ethical Image Processing

  • the a.b.c. smile 69 Mortimer Street W1W 7SF United Kingdom (map)

Course Description

Dr. Edward Li is the clinical director of ‘the a.b.c. smile’ dental practice located in the heart of London and winner of Best Young Dentist London 2022 at the Private Dentistry Awards.
Whether it’s rehabilitating tooth-wear with composites or crafting new smiles in porcelain, his artful dentistry has attracted a meticulous audience seeking contemporary cosmetic and functional makeovers that are well-documented and shared for education through his social media outlets.

Dental photography is at the core of documentation and communication, an enthusiastic passion of his that started many years before his dental career began.

This is an in-depth seminar and workshop at his flagship clinic to dive deep into the theory of photography using live on-screen demonstrations and hands-on workshopping with your own equipment. A technical workflow of ethical image processing will be outlined with the use of Adobe Photoshop and the in-built photo editors on iOS. All skill-sets welcome.
