My approach is:
One thing I have learned through all the years of working in the studio photography field is that knowing & understanding the ground concepts of photography, lighting & retouching are essential when trying to execute this image.
This in-depth course is multifaceted. We start by going through the basics!
A step-by-step guide on studio portrait photography and Lighting lectures. The shooting process involves working with up to six strobes and this course includes complete sections on understanding how to accurately set up the lights in order to achieve the light.
The lessons that follow provide a wide focus on photoshop retouching techniques. Techniques such as working with textures & building backgrounds, advanced masking & merging subjects, color grading, light fixes & corrections, as well as creating a realistic feel & light look.
The idea behind the course is not only to familiarise people with the techniques but also to help them understand the reason for using certain methods and how to improve on their retouching techniques.

Instructor
I Love Sharing & Teaching Online.
Here on Udemy, I'm an instructor that teaches Photoshop for beginners, but if you are more experienced, then take advantage of my free Photoshop courses. I’ve been teaching Photoshop & Retouching on Udemy since 2012.
In my personal capacity, I’m an owner of a Digital Media Agency where the core focus lays in Content Creation. I’ve been an active photographer and retoucher since 2010 and have worked on many advertising campaigns in Cape Town “South Africa” for clients like Mercedes, Zara, H&M, etc,
When I'm not working on campaigns, I'm producing online training courses & I have realized that it has become my passion to teach online, this may vary between Photoshop, Photography, Design or Business Content. In the next years, it is my goal to teach you how to become a better version of yourself with all kinds of skills. Most of which I have used to make my life better & to gain financial freedom.
Feel free to reach out to me on Udemy at any time, if you have questions about the courses or just want to say hi!
Thank you, Manni
