Arverne, NY Adobe Photoshop Lessons

I have an extensive knowledge of Photoshop, its tools and how to implement them to create final images. From basic Graphic Design Layouts with typography to complete Digital image manipulations and Photo Retouching I am prepared and equipped with the knowledge to guide you on learning this fantastic digital image processing tool to create your visions into reality.

I have been a professional photographer for the past 8 years, providing portraiture, retail and commercial photography services. Adobe Photoshop is an integral part of my workflow and I spend hours a day using it to retouch my photographs as well as create graphic layouts including flyers, postcards, ads, etc.

I structure my lessons to make sure students learn the retouching skills they are hoping to master for their particular projects while providing a strong foundation in principals of using the software, including use of the plethora of tools, making sure the finished product looks natural and realistic, and of course exploring creativity.

Experienced Photoshop teacher of 6 years available for eager students of all experience, levels and ages! I adjust and build my lesson structure so students learn what they are interested in and want to learn, while building strong foundations of basic image manipulation/adjustment skills. I specialize in fashion, print design and magazine photo/illustration artistry, typically use real life applications as examples, and have Adobe Creative suite on my laptop available to use during lessons.

I have been using Photoshop for years, through my extensive studies of Photography, and also freelance graphic design in the form of visual media/show flyers/advertisements/etc. Since lesson structure for this subject is centered around each student's individual needs, I can't give a detailed description of what our studies will be like until I know more about you! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns.
