Photoshop for Virgins - by Mike McNamee

In response to the numerous requests, the 'Photoshop for Virgins' has been extended to a four-hour superclass, with a limited number of delegates. As previously, the sessions will be paced for photographers who are new to both digital and image editing. The program is aimed at people with introductory levels of Photoshop use and digital imaging, and the object is to provide a friendly, relaxed atmosphere where beginners can seek answers to their questions without the fear of being surrounded by impatient experts who only want to see the latest whiz bang features of the software. With ten years of teaching experience at community college level, Mike is well placed to deliver the tuition.

This class is very limited on numbers.
Book now to avoid disappointment.

Saturday 16 Jan 09:00 - 13:00
Sunday 17 Jan 09:00 - 13:00

Members £75 Non Members £85 (Per Person)

He will teach you how to shoot like 2 photographers and not only capture the natural magic of the wedding day but create magic of your own. Renowned for turning the ordinary into the extraordinary, Jerry will share some of his latest and best examples of how to bring out the best in a poor and challenging environment. After this seminar, you will never complain about an ordinary location ever again. Jerry will show you how a good album design goes unnoticed and how a truly defined theme can make your albums stand out from your competition.
