All the photo editing courses I offer take place 1 2 1 and online. By using digital meeting rooms I can share my screen to demonstrate the core techniques of photo editing in a range of software applications. What is more, you can also share your screen so I can guide you through the techniques, and prevent you getting “lost” in the process. My students find this way of learning invaluable, and can stop and ask questions anytime.
The final added bonus is we can work on your images and make the adjustments you want to!

Photo Editing the Basics. Online.
All editing software can be a little daunting at first glance. This series of three 1 hour sessions will get you familiar with your chosen software.
Session 1
You will learn how to put in place safety nets, undo, reverse history stack, save as, insted of save, to make sure you can correct any mess you get into. It is very important that students feel that there is no “jeopardy” to editing, and that their images are secure and safe. This first session will get you started with the very basics, and encourage students to “play” with the software, confident they will not be getting into anything they cannot get out of.
Next we will look at file management, and image resizing.
Once you have grasped these concepts we can really explore the software without fear. Indeed it soon becomes fun!
Session 2
We will cover some of the basic tools such as cropping! We will also cover the basic adjustments that are most commonly used by photographers to enhance their images. You will learn to control exposure, colour correction and sharpen images.
Session 3
This will introduce you to masking and equip you with the tools to adjust portions of the image rather than all of the image. This process will give you ultimate control over how you approach your editing for either social media, the web or even print!

Photo Editing for Creative effects
This is a three part short course exploring the creative potential of photo editing. Editing is about so much more than correcting mistakes in framing and exposure when the image was taken.

This course, Photo Editing: Creative Effect, will introduce you to some of these techniques and how they can be mimicked with editing software.
Other techniques explored include, cloning and dopples, the addition of typography, creative boarders, and use of diptychs and triptychs to present your images. There is a vast variety of techniques we can engage with.
This course is suitable for more advanced students or for anyone that has attended any of my previous courses.
This course can be created with your specific needs. so if you have a project you are working on, or a series of work you want to take in a new direction, this course could be ideal for you.
