Private Photoshop Sessions (online, or in person)
Private online Photoshop workshops are a fantastic way to learn photoshop remotely from the comfort of your own home. I've been teaching Photoshop for over 15 years, I always dreamed of being able to teach remotely like this and now technology allows me to do just that. I'm currently using two technologies to allow me to give the best possible experience. I use Skype for online video chat sessions, I'm able to share my screen, allowing students to see what I'm doing in Photoshop. I also make screenshot recordings of the entire session which are available for download after the session. This allows students to interact with me one on one, and also have an archived high quality video file to study after the session.
I teach students of all ability levels, from beginners to professional photographers. Whether you'd like to learn the basics, or master advanced photoshop techniques, I can help you.
Recommended items: I recommend having a mic, either a built in mic or external mic. This makes the online chat experience much more fulfilling. A fast broadband connection is also required, the video quality of the session depends on your bandwidth.
Price: $99 per hour
