Training

My workshops are limited to a maximum of fifteen attendees for a more personalized experience. 
My training style is very hands on; your hands that is. I will guide and direct while you drive. I am a firm believer that people learn while doing. So I make sure to provide ample opportunity for you to do the work. I have been teaching on various topics including math tudoring, Photoshop, basic and advanced photography subjects and computer programming for over ten years. I am a patient and giving instructor and the best part is, my training doesn't have any tests. 
I offer personal training on the following topics:
  • Workflow - From shooting the photograph to presentation, I will give a complete workflow to use, modify and develop into something that works for you. 
  • Photo Editing Using Lightroom - I have been using and teaching about Lightroom since version 1.2. I was a beta tester for Lightroom 3. I am an expert level user in Lightroom and have taught numerous workshops as well as private lessons on the usage of Lightroom in your workflow.
  • Photo Editing Using Photoshop - This training will teach you the important tools in Photoshop for photographers which includes; Layers, Masking, Sharpening, Textures, Dodge and Burn, Black and White Conversion and Color Correction)
  • Beginner to Advance Camera Training - Regardless if you use Canon, Nikon, Pentax or something else, whether you use a point and shoot or DSLR I can teach you how to get the most out of your camera.
  • HDR - In three hours I will teach you how to shoot and process HDR photographs from start to finish using your camera and Photomatix. This training will require a tripod. If you don't have one I can provide one for your use.
