I needed to start my journey into the world of photoshop and I made the right choice with Nick’s Zoom workshop. I got a great understanding of the tools. Clear, concise and a good laugh too. On to the Photoshop Master session next!

Highly recommended! Thank you Nick

Adobe Photoshop the image editing tool of choice for the entire creative industry and the possibilities are limited only by imagination.

But it is a complex app, and it can be confusing or daunting for beginners. In fact even professional photographers are sometimes bewildered by the number of tools and options available.

This workshop is the perfect guide. With Nick Church showing you around Photoshop, walking you through the features and us practicing the techniques together it will all start to ‘click’. You will get familiar with the tools and possibilities and find a confidence to start your journey towards amazing creations. Step by step, at a pace driven by you.

If you know your way around Photoshop already and can do the more basic things, but come unstuck on the more complex functionality then we have the Master course. If you’re not sure, or it’s been a while, this Essentials course is a great refresher.

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
