“I have been a photographer for 10 years and always feared the layers, masks and other complicated bits of Photoshop. In 2020 I decided I was going to bite the bullet and get to grips with it all.
Nick’s course was seriously good!! Really, it was incredible. We worked on a series of my images and with Nick’s calm and clear guidance I was able to make insane re-touches to my photos!
Thank you so much Nick, I can see now that I should have done this YEARS AGO! Worth every penny and more!”
Adobe Photoshop the image editing tool of choice for the entire creative industry. The possibilities are limited only by imagination, once you have mastered how to understand, navigate and get the most out of the tools and techniques required.
While Adobe Lightroom can be fine for mass image management and straightforward editing at volume, it is Photoshop that is required for the more complex or professional edits and creations.
Adobe Lightroom is covered in our Lightroom Master Course.
Photoshop allows you to perform any task such as removing or replacing objects, a professional-level retouch or creating entire composite photorealistic images that are bound only by your imagination.
For photographers these skills are increasingly required by client projects and this course will allow attendees to harness the power of Photoshop and take their business to the next level.
Following on from our Essentials course for beginners, this workshop teaches attendees all the skills needed to truly master the platform to take their work and their business to the next level.
Overview
Most photography education courses will aim to give you all the information in a tidal-wave of content with the hope some of it sticks. Arguably this is little better than YouTube and if that worked then everyone would be a professional photographer. My approach is different. With targeted, one-to-one mentoring of attendees we build up the knowledge and skills at a pace drive by you, which will allow you to reach a much higher level of expertise. We believe not only is this the best way of learning, but the best use of your investment – you want to spend it once, and then leave with all the skills you need, built-in.
Each new area is backed up with actual practical sessions so you leave with an intuitive understanding which will allow you to share incredible images with family, friends or clients.

“The way Nick explained things is just brilliant. He is really clear, patient and knowledgeable and manages to keep it fun and upbeat. During the day we skipped a lot of the stuff I knew, and focussed on the areas I was less confident in, this flexibility was really appreciated. My confidence on shoots is now so much higher, and I feel in control of my camera for the first time, rather than it controlling me! I am calmer and more able to deal with client interactions and my bookings have increased as a result. Thank you so so much Nick”
