Helen - Tooting - Photography

Methodology

I teach photoshop to all different ages and levels. I use photoshop everyday as a professional retoucher, and bring this industry knowledge to my teaching. I love the process of continuously learning myself, whilst passing on my knowledge to others.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

Photoshop is a vast software, and can be used for many different reasons. I can help you to understand the basics, to give you a good platform to progress from, and I can gear the lessons to the area you need. Sometimes, finding out what you need to learn is the most important part! For more advanced students, I can teach you industry standard techniques, and methods to speed up your workflow. Some areas you may wish to learn include :-

Editing photography

Fashion/beauty retouching

Image Compositing

Photoshop for Fine Art

Photoshop for design (e.g. Architecture, interior design)

Creating a portfolio.
