Digital Photography and Software Tuition

If you would like one to one tuition on how to get the best out of your camera-not just the scary, technical side of things,but also spending time working on how to make better photos, i can offer tuition,either at your own home,or ours .

If you are confident in using your camera,but would like to spend some time working with Adobe Photoshop,or Adobe Photoshop Elements, i am able to offer the opportunity to learn-either basic or more advanced techniques which may significantly improve the quality of your finished results.

Basic adjustments-improving colour,contrast,and composition of your shots.

Cropping and resizing your photos for more impact and better print quality

Camera settings-to reduce the amount of time you need spend at the computer,concentrating on creating rather than using software to salvage photos(although time can be spent on improving photos taken prior to tuition).It's up to you to decide.

Selective image adjustment-to balance out awkward lighting or errors at time of taking photos

Trying out Studio Flash lighting for portraiture-rather than spending a large sum of money,then finding it could have been better spent elsewhere.

For the past seven years, i have concentrated mainly on the digital photographic side of image making,and feel i have now devised a fairly straightforward method,which would be beneficial to people who have limited experience,or to individuals who have been working with the conventional method,and are ready to change to digital processing and printing.

Sessions are available at £12.00 per hour,with discounted charges for more than 4 hours booked(reduces to £10 per hour).   A recent client chose to spend a whole day,1 to 1,splitting the time between practical outdoor photography,and working on photos using Adobe software on their own laptop,i make every effort to tailor the instruction to suit the type of photography you enjoy most,at a level you are comfortable with,and at a pace that still allows you to enjoy the experience. Whether you have a compact camera,or a Digital SLR,the instruction would be appropriate to your own camera.From simple adjustments,to more complex,in depth examination of camera settings,

Afterwards,you will receive a CD with screenshots and instruction to remind you of the key points.
