Hi there, my name is Barry J Brady and I am professional photographer and a Photoshop instructor.

Photoshop can be daunting when you first open it. It seems like there are lots of icons, buttons and spaces and it all seems very complicated and impossible to learn. Don't feel alone, I felt like that too when I first started using Photoshop in 2006, but I went on a course to learn how to use it and eventually became the head instructor of that course at a photography college. I absolutely love Adobe Photoshop, I love the flexibility and creativity it gives me in my photography and I love the results I am able to create in my images.

In this course, I will teach you the techniques and methods to get you going on your Photoshop journey. This course is just the start, but it will give you a solid foundation to build on and work from. You will learn basic and some intermediate techniques and by the end of the course, you will have a growing skill set to take you to the next level.

This course is aimed primarily at digital photographers. We won't spend much time on Graphic Design or Advertising and marketing layouts, this course is really about using Adobe Photoshop to get the most out of your digital images. Adobe Photoshop is a great tool once you know how to use it. Below are some reviews from past students.

“Barry is a very knowledgeable person and also very passionate about what he does. I like to compare him to university professors. There are two types of professors, one that are geniuses but unable to share their knowledge to other commoners, the other is they can teach but they do not have a solid foundation of their field, they were spoon-fed as well when they were students. Barry is a combination of both, he is talented but also can teach (minus the spoon-fed, he is very creative) with his personality and patience. Its a trait that all teachers should have yet its uncommon. I highly recommend Barry as a teacher and photographer. Having those 2 identities allows him to teach others what there is to learn about photography. "Thumbs UP"!" - Terence F

“Barry has a wonderful knack of making his teaching both relevant and informative whilst always remaining interesting. There is a good balance of theory and practical" - Scott R

So, if you are starting your journey into Photoshop or have been using it for a while, but note sure where to go from there, this course is for you. You do not need any prior knowledge in Photoshop, we will start at the beginning and build the foundations for a great future with Photoshop for you.

My goal is not to teach you how to fix your images in Photoshop (although we will do a little of that) but rather to help you take your good images and make them look SPECTACULAR in Photoshop. Join me and lets get you started on this wonderful and exciting journey into the world of Adobe Photoshop
