Katerina is an excellent tutor and very easy to work with. I very much enjoyed my lessons with her. Lots of information and good advise. She came well prepared with relevant printouts etc. Looking forward to learning with Katerina again! Thank you 😊
Perfect class for photographers new to Photoshop and who want to understand the interface & learn what tools are useful to directly edit an image.
Images can be sent to students in advance. However they are welcome to use their own images if preferred and send these to learn how to edit.
I will guide you through Photoshop adjustments, image formats and over the coming lessons introduce you to using layers, masks and adjustment masks. How to sharpen your images and use the Raw editing program.

Connect with nature through photographyThe camera has long since become my best ally when I go out into nature, and I no longer contemplate going without it. Capturing details, the light of the sunset, the inhabitants of the forest, or the immensity of the night sky is my way of being present and connecting with the environment that surrounds me.
After working as a Northern Lights guide and photographer, I have noticed that quite a few people come with their cameras hoping to capture an aurora borealis, but without any prior experience in night photography. This art requires patience, technique and practice, especially when it comes to the Northern Lights where the light is constantly changing.
It is because of this experience that I decided to open this service. Whether you are planning a trip, an outing into nature, or simply want to learn how to get the most out of your camera, I will be happy to help you.
Do not hesitate to contact me for more information.
