Photoshop and Digital Image for beginners and amateurs / students, artists and photographers

Photoshop is a powerful app for photographers. As a photographer, you’ll need to be able to sort through the many complex features that will help make photos better. I’ve designed this course as a practical guide to Photoshop that’s specifically made for learning photographers.

You will learn how to make selections, create masks, retouching portraits and use advanced techniques to not only improve photographs, but to turn them into entirely new images.

My 16 year old decided to pursue a career at n fashion and art early on We found Emer and she was exactly what we were looking for and more when Theo applied for fashion Academies Her first extensive background and calm and friendly approach brought out the best in my 16 year old son Together they created an original portfolio crammed with original and artistic work Enthusiast and patient I have no reservations recommending Emer for any art driven personal or group learning sessions My sons testimony says it all She is simply amazing
Emer was very easy to connect with and knowledgable about photography. At our first lesson, we formed some exciting goals to work toward throughout our program.
She is very friendly, very focus to her lesson as a result her lesson to be productive.
‘Analogue Photography’ refers to photography using an analogue camera and film. A roll of film is loaded into the camera and the magic begins once you start clicking: light interacts with the chemicals in the film and an image is recorded. The pictures collected on your film roll come to life when the film is processed. ALL MATERIALS PROVIDED: 35MM CAMERA, FILM AND CHEMISTRY INCLUDED On this course I will teach you the basics of analogue photography - old school film photography. You will learn how to load film, take accurate light readings for correct exposures, you will learn about depth of field and shutter speed. Once you have taken your first roll of film you will then learn how to develop this film. Other students may wish to work with pinhole photography and learn how to build their own cameras. Most suitable as a short course and I can accommodate up to 4 students at one session so you can ask a friend. Fun weekend activities for the spring. Get snapping.
Presently I am the Professor of Photography at the American College of Greece, Deree College on their International Honours Program and Professor of Digital Image at the School of Fine and Performing Arts. I specialise in teaching Art, Photography & Design as a career path or an elective option. Subjects covered : sketching, drawing, painting, art history, contemporary art and design. My goal is to inspire students theoretically and provide practice based homework when relevant. Classes and short courses are tailored to suit individual tuition. Primarily practice led with emphasis on improving technical skills sessions will include Art History, theory and critical assessment. 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE TEACHING ART, PHOTOGRAPHY AND DESIGN - GCSE, A Level, Foundation, Undergrad, Post Graduate and Continuing Education.

With a degree in architecture and a passion for interior design, I guide my students with expertise and creativity!
Teaching Methodology in Interior Design: -Teaching Techniques and Methods: I use a structured and personalized approach to foster creativity and understanding of key concepts. Lessons include hands-on projects in space design, materials, layouts, and ambiance, with case studies to strengthen analytical and creative skills. Teaching techniques also incorporate software use, such as Homestyler, Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Lumion, and Adobe Suite. -Typical Course Structure: Each class begins with a discussion to assess the student’s expectations. We then delve into the topic of the day, covering theoretical concepts, a practical exercise, and a critical analysis, followed by additional resources for further study. -What Sets Me Apart as an Instructor: My international experience offers a broad perspective on design trends. I emphasize creativity while providing a solid foundation and a supportive, yet rigorous teaching style. -Target Audience: My courses are designed for high school students, early university students in architecture or design, and anyone looking to discover or deepen their understanding of interior design.
