Have you ever tried to fix a problem in Photoshop only to end up launching your laptop at the wall while foaming at the mouth? What you’re experiencing is a state that I call ‘ShopRage’.

Don’t feel bad about it. We’ve all been there, more than once. What you need is someone to guide you through the rage-inducing frustration of using Photoshop so that you can unleash its amazing potential for improving your own photography

Relax and breathe a sigh of relief because ‘Photoshop For Morons 2‘ is finally here.

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.

Read What People Say About Fototripper

This was an incredible workshop that I would recommend without hesitation. Gavin has extensive knowledge of the region and how to adapt choice of location based on existing weather and light conditions to really get the most out of each shoot. His technique for shooting landscapes was new for me. It took a short period of time to get used to and then I absolutely loved it. I will never shoot landscapes any other way! Plus, he’s a funny and generous and an all-around pleasure to work with. This workshop really exceeded my expectations and I am so thrilled with the photographs I came back with.
Thank you Gavin!

Irene Suchocki

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
