Adobe Photoshop Lessons in Van Nuys. Amazing Teachers.

I have been using Photoshop for over 20 years and teaching it at the college level for eight years. I have used it and taught it for quite the range of design media. From Graphic Design, Motion Graphics, and Game Art to Image Manipulation, Concept Art and Abstract Deconstruction.

As a professional photographer, much of my time is spent sitting behind a computer! With a degree in visual communications and years of experience, I can break down this complex program into easy-to-understand lessons that will teach you how to pull the best out of your photography!

I have previously worked on internships in at least 2 Architecture Firms in Los Angeles (TFA and AJLA) on local and international projects that included model building for an extensive urban development mixed used international project and an Eye glass store in Calabassas. In addition to hand-drafting,software-drafting and model building for restaurant projects in palm springs.I recently assisted a UCLA Architecture student with her studio work that involved case studies for a Japanese garden inspired library in Huntington Park.I have also assisted USC students with case studies and studio work including the Eames house California that involved recreation of the project based on the architect's drawings;and currently assisting undergraduate/grad students in studio work/portfolio development that include Design development using software such as Rhino,Autocad,photoshop,illustrator,Revit,Indesign and Climate Consultant.

I have worked in the Graphic Design field professionally for more than 15 years. During this time I developed a strong knowledge of the Adobe Creative Suite for which I have a Photoshop Associate's Certification. I taught Photoshop and the basics of visual design at New Visions Charter High School for the Humanities (HUM) for a school year, to 9th and 10th-grade students. I have experience converting complex graphic design processes into easy to follow lessons for absolute beginners, and intermediate users.

We will start by getting to know one another a bit so I can gain a clear idea of what you are hoping to gain from our sessions. Whether it be an intro to a software or taking developing a full start to finish project. After our first meeting I will use my 11 years of professional experience to develop a unique lesson plan for you and your goals.

I teach Photoshop for Photographers usually combined with Lightroom. You will learn how to enhance your images for presentation on a screen/website or for printing. Lessons are available in person or remotely.
