Photography Lessons NYC, Photoshop Lessons NYC
For those with an interest, I’ve updated the website that focuses on photography, Photoshop, and portfolio reviews.
www.reallifephotographed.com/tutorial
I offer customized Photoshop and photography lessons and individual tutorials to beginner photographers and advanced professionals. I make house calls—but prefer to meet at my East Village (doorman) location; times are flexible.
I can help if you if you are just getting started, have specific questions, or would like to set up weekly sessions. Need to know your camera? Want to understand take artful pictures? Need to know color correction in Photoshop? I’d love to help.
Sessions
We’d sit one-on-one to discuss your goals, review your images, discuss your interests, and suggest next steps. We could work for one session or several, covering a range of topics—I’m flexible. A few possible approaches are:
General Class
Session One: Discussion of your goals and where you are now.
Session Two: Basic camera usage and general technical concepts.
Session Three: Review of your images and what you like to photograph.
Session Four: More in-depth technical review, including depth of field, ISO, F-Stop, etc.
Session Five: Processing images, Photoshop (including Bridge, Adobe Camera RAW).
Vision Class
Session One: Discussion of your goals and where you are now; briefly review your work.
Session Two: In-depth review of your images and what you like to photograph; photograph together outside; craft your vision.
Session Three: Review images and offer additional critique on composition with a focus on meaning; photograph together; review additional photographers.
Session Four: Brief technical review, and processing images, Photoshop (including Bridge, Adobe Camera RAW); Review images.
Session Five: Final review of images; suggest ways to continue to follow your vision.

Session Four: Advanced sharpening and color correction.
Session Five: Masks; retouching; automated actions; Bridge.
Portfolio Review
After reviewing your portfolio, and discussing your goals, I will give honest criticism of your photographs, and suggest how to improve your art. We would concentrate on what is IN the picture–what we see–as well as discuss esthetics, composition, and color (or black and white). Technical issues such as good exposure, Photoshop and printing will also be reviewed. We could meet once or create a customized curriculum that lasts for several months.
Approach
My approach is to work together in a patient, engaging way, to show you how to take wonderful photographs, know your camera more, or just get out of a creative rut. We will work together to craft a path good for you and you will learn by doing.
