Instructor's Courses

Hi! My name is Kelly and I am a photographer and digital artist here on Skillshare. Thank you so much for checking out my teacher profile!

I absolutely love photography, photo editing and compositing! I started 25 years ago with film in the darkroom and after raising my family I stepped back into the photography world with digital and the Lightroom.

I find photo editing and compositing in Photoshop CC really exciting and I can't wait to share it all with you! I am here to show you how to do this from the beginner level and then work your way up step by step learning new skills, tips, and techniques along the way.

My classes are easy to follow with simple guidelines so you won't feel overwhelmed and you can learn what you want to quickly. Wouldn't it be incredible to know how to put dramatic clouds in a cloudless sky? Or place yourself on top of a breathtaking mountain top? I am here to help you learn the essential skills, techniques and tools you need to make it happen! You will learn how to make amazing edits to turn your snapshot into a stunning photograph. You will learn how to take multiple photographs and blend them in different ways to create epic surreal images. The possibilities are endless!

This is where your imagination can be unleashed and your dreams can come to life through your creations. Once you learn how to edit and composite you will have the opportunity to tell your stories, to speak your truth and to share your voice.

Whether your goal is to just have fun with photo editing for social media or you have your sights set higher with your photography, these classes will help you start that journey.

Let's get started on creating amazing photos together!
