THE CYBER MONDAY SALE IS ON!

50% Off Downloads

Black Friday has melded into Cyber Monday and nobody knows why! This complete non-event was conjured up by marketing gurus years ago in order to extend the retail hysteria that somehow gripped North America around a decade ago and I couldn’t be happier. Quite frankly, anything that helps pay for the roof shingles in my abandoned church is alright with me.

Rest assured that when you spend your hard-earned money on my Cyber Monday Sale, all of the proceeds will go towards wall insulation and guano removal and might just cover the cost of two or three window replacements. If we play our cards right we might have the place liveable by May 2023.

I’m delighted to announce that my book is now back in stock since Grumpton saw the error of his ways and returned the books he ‘borrowed’. Learn more.

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.

Hi Gavin – I have to say how much I enjoyed the workshop on Image Post Processing. I came away feeling much more confident and ready to tackle Photoshop head on. You are a terrific teacher with so much knowledge to share. I’d write more but I’m now going to open Photoshop to work at remembering all I learned yesterday!!! Look forward to much more participation in the future. Thanks for everything. Shelley H.

Overall another excellent workshop taught by Gavin. We started by reviewing the basic concepts of HDR photography and then proceeded outside to to practice. Under Gavin’s supervision we took several sets of bracketed photos with our own cameras and then returned to our laptops to process the images using a couple different HDR software applications. The instruction was clear and specific to our cameras, computers and HDR software. The cost of the workshop was well worth it. Thanks Gavin for another great learning experience.
