Tailored Tuition - Tailored for You
Regardless as to what level you are at as a photographer I can work with you to improve your skills through my ‘tailored concepts’ program. An individually based program where initially we consult with each other to find out what it is you would like to learn and then we ‘take it to action’. Your learning is not limited to camera skills and techniques as I am also able to demonstrate important ‘workflow practices’ and ‘post processing’ techniques to show you how to add that final ‘punch’ to the output of your photos. Consider doubling the value of your investment of $495.00 (individual half day session) by inviting a friend and sharing the cost (up to 4 people) Full day tuition available at $814.00. Contact Mark for more details and learn how he can help you become a better photographer. Check out the Weekend Notes article here. |

Tailored for Post Processing
It’s essential to know how to post process your photos with effective workflow practices along with making your images ‘pop’ to your audience, with some simple techniques. Understanding and practicing basic workflow processes from the beginning will save you from hours of work in the future.
Trained and practiced in software processing including Lightroom & Photoshop, (Bridge and Camera Raw), a couple of options are available to you.
Option 1: Hire me personally for a complete one on one session to move you on to the next level, or if you are just starting out, we will go through the necessary basics.
Option 2: Join one of my scheduled classroom sessions with a maximum of 10 people Separate workshops are offered for Photoshop including Bridge and Camera Raw practice and another for Lightroom.
These classes run at scheduled times during the year where, attending students, are often at slightly different levels. Run to a session plan there is often room for some flexibility to tailor some practices towards your own needs.
Here's what Jason Round had to say about his recent experience at the Lightroom Bootcamp: "Hi Mark,
Thanks for running a great course on Saturday. Having never used Lightroom before I learned a massive amount during the day. I'm trying to work on a few photos this week to reinforce everything before I forget. I will play around with Lightroom for a few months and then plan to do your post processing course on CS6 once my skills start to improve.
Regards, Jason"
