"Hi, I’m Bret L. As a Senior Digital Imaging Professional with many years of experience, I’ve had the opportunity to work in fields ranging from retail and marketing to entertainment. I studied Commercial and Fine Art Photography at the California College of the Arts in Oakland, CA, but my best education has come from working in the trenches, solving real-world challenges, and learning under the tutelage of creative masters as colleagues. My passion for education in Photoshop, Lightroom, photography, and retouching isn’t just about mastering the tools—it’s about teaching and empowering you to achieve your creative goals and aspirations. Over the years, I’ve trained hundreds of people, always focusing on making the learning process engaging and fun.

So, what makes me a great tutor? I’m a people person. I love engaging with individuals like you, and my added value lies in igniting your capabilities and potential. In addition to my digital imaging skills, I recently authored a complete college course on advanced Photoshop techniques for digital photographers, developed in collaboration with a leading curriculum vendor. No matter your skill level or goal, I listen carefully to what you want from me and how I can assist you in achieving it.

My purpose is to make every meeting we spend together as valuable and enjoyable as possible. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a session—I’m always happy to help you learn and succeed!" less...
