Online Photoshop Classes / Phoenix, AZ Photographer / Editing

Online Photoshop Tutorial Classes Have Finally Arrived!


Have you been wanting to take your phtography to the next level?
Now is your chance!

I have been asked by several photographers, when am I going to start offering online Photoshop tutorial classes? Look no further, the time is here! : )

I will be offering several classes at different skill levels, so check and see which one sounds most like you and shoot me an email to book a class :


The cost per class is $150.00

Class sizes will be limited to 25 participants per class, so you'll want to reserve your spot before they book up. Once classes are filled, no more participants will be accepted.

Instructions for how to access the class will be emailed out to participants 2 weeks before the class takes place.

Payments for classes will be accepted only via Paypal.

Participants must have Photoshop CS3, CS4 or CS5.
Sorry, but I do not offer Elements classes just yet.

I can't wait to teach you the magic of Photoshop!! See you there!

{ Beba Photo Tip -- Finding Open Shade } -- Mesa / Phoenix, AZ Photographer

Harsh Lighting = BAD
Don't Do This:


Open Shade = GOOD
Do This Instead:
This is a quick little tip that's easy to remember and one that will make a world of difference.

When you're shooting your subject, whether it be a person or object...make sure that you're shooting in good open shade and NOT direct sunlight.

These two pictures are SOOC{ Straight Out Of Camera }--no color or lighting has been changed.

Do you see the difference? One is harshly lit and the other is softly lit.

Aim to find "open shade"--an area that is well lit, but covered by an overhang or shoot on the backside of a wall when it's still bright out so that you don't get those harsh shadows and highlights.

Before you photograph your subjects, make sure you take a moment to see how the lighting is falling across their faces and their bodies and the scene around them. Are there any harsh shadows and highlights? Search around and move them into an area that has open shade and your pictures will be transformed!

A small detail that's sometimes overlooked, but that make pictures look ever-so-much better when you find that right light.
