"I am a freelance portrait and commercial photographer as well as photo retoucher with 9 years of experience working within the photo industry. I received my BFA in Photography from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. I started tutoring while in school, and I found that it is very rewarding to share knowledge and help others learn and grow.

Mastering the technical aspect of photography can seem daunting, and I was very fortunate to have great teachers to help me. I hope to do the same for you, whether you are a hobbyist or thinking of pursuing a career as a photographer!

The following are lessons I cover for Photography, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Photoshop, CaptureOne, and Professional Practices in Photo.

In Photography lessons, I can cover everything from basic Camera Functions (manual mode: aperture, shutter speed, ISO settings, White Balance) to using Accessories such as lens filters. I teach Location Lighting (natural lighting, reflectors, speedlites) as well as Strobe Lighting and the Photo Studio. Additionally, we can work on building a photography portfolio and printing.

In Lightroom lessons, I cover Basic Adjustments (Exposure, Temperature, Hue/Saturation), Removing Camera Distortion, Gradients and Effects, Collections, Cataloguing, Batch Editing, Exporting Photos, and more. I also create organization systems for Lightroom Catalogs when working between multiple computers and external hard drives.

In Photoshop lessons, I cover basic to advanced skills such as Color Editing, non-destructive Skin Editing, Background Editing, Jewelry Editing, Photo Manipulation, Plugins/Actions, and more.

Additional Professional Practices are for those interested in entering a career in photography include Shooting Tethered, CaptureOne, Fashion Photography, and Advanced Fashion and Portrait Retouching (advanced techniques such as frequency separation and liquify).

I am excited to help you learn! Let me know what topics you are interested in, and we can come up with a customized course." less...
