Photo Editing Lessons

Meet Joan- an absolutely fabulous model who hired me earlier in the week to do some updated head shots. She was fantastic enough to humor me with the artsy shots, too... I loooove working on my art. :)

So what makes this image "Art?" Well, there are lots of reasons but to begin with- it did not come out of the camera looking this way. LOL. I did work in Photoshop to give it this final finish. This image has already brought me some terrific feedback from many amazing photographers + viewers out there. And, "wow" this week I have really been swamped with emails/facebook messages that are inquiring about my one-on-one email photo editing lessons. I just thought it was a great image to use in my post today.

Some of you know that I do hold a teaching certificate and am selectively willing to share knowledge with those who desire it. Eventually I will update my website with a section of information pertaining to these sessions but for now- here is the scoop for anyone who wants to know.

  • I accept LIMITED amounts of students per month due to time restrictions but currently DO still have some availability for November.
  • Lessons are given once a week via email and are 3-part in format
  • Hands on application + evaluation from me personally for every lesson.
  • Lesson topics are custom designed per client desire and open to all skill levels
  • Lessons are completed using Layers in Photoshop Elements, PSCS2, PSCS3, PSCS4 or Corel...especially for color toning and use of textures!! (like pictured below)

Please send me a note for complete price list and/or a list of sample topics
I can be reached at jenlynnalder@aol.com or on Facebook.

Have a terrific Halloween weekend everyone! :)
