I was inspired to create this online photography course after one of my students emailed me and asked “Gavin, can you just teach me Photoshop as if I was a complete moron?”. I knew immediately I had a great concept for a series of Photoshop tutorials that would help people overcome the many quirks and annoyances of Photoshop and get them beyond the usual roadblocks to understanding how it all works.

Ever since I began my journey as a landscape photographer, I had a dream that one day I would publish my very own book. I wanted to create a book that would inspire other people to see the beauty in our natural world and perhaps to also chase that same sense of awe that so intoxicates me. Learn more.

Gavin provides a lot of excellent instruction on how to get the best results from HDR Photography. As a novice photographer, I was able to grasp his concepts easily and process my images to produce photos that looked lifelike. A great method for landscape photography when you are having to shoot under conditions that may otherwise result in a poor overall picture. Thanks, Ken

I was impressed by Gavin’s landscape photographs when I saw them on.line, so I signed up for a class from him. I found out that he’s an excellent teacher as well. His method of teaching makes you experience the process by doing it yourself: making sure you understand how to set up, how to use the setting,for differnt situations and wants you to ask him at any time if you don’t understand. Thanks Gavin
