"As a professional photographer I use Photoshop and Lightroom on a daily basis. I truly enjoy teaching others how to use the multitude of tools within each program. Knowledge of all tools and proper use will help to unleash your boundless creativity. Both programs even have methods that can take complex tasks and automate the procedure. After just a few short lessons you will be ready to unleash your creativity and improve your productivity.

When teaching I always tailor the lesson to each individual - my instruction is based on the specific task or project that you wish to learn. You will find my style to quite informative but it will require you to work through the process. As a Merit Badge counselor for the Boy Scouts of America, I have adopted their EDGE method as my teaching philosophy. EDGE stands for; Explain, Demonstrate, Guide, Enable. You are guaranteed to learn because we work through the coursework together and then you tackle the tasks on your own. Afterwards we review, critique and explain again.

All the while it will be fun and enjoyable because ultimately our goal is to create artwork that you can proudly display." less...
