I pitched my first product photography job just knowing I was going to enrol in the course, Rachel’s courses are that good. The course allowed me to produce a professional quality shot and the final photo exceeded the clients expectations.

From zero Photoshop skills to getting paid to take this photo, the course didn’t let me down.

Food Photographer

Retouching Food Photography helped make the daunting task of learning Photoshop both easy and enjoyable. Rachel and Matt are the perfect instructors for this course.

Thanks to them, I can process images faster and fix what previously seemed like un-fixable issues in an image in a matter of minutes.

This class helped me take my retouching game to the next level. I’ve been working in Photoshop for a long time and no stranger to the tools. But this class showed me how to use the tools in ways I was unaware. Now these methods are ones I practice every day – like using a low flow in my clone stamp, navigating the “patch” tool, and color range selection.

My methods of retouching my food photography are better and I’m faster at it. I’m thrilled I took this class!

I learned so many shortcuts, tips and tricks – and therefore improved my speed, accuracy and finally get the results I was always looking for. The way Rachel and Matt teach in Retouching Food Photography is very personal and I could totally follow every step.

I especially enjoyed learning more about dodge and burn, straightening objects and removing disturbing objects. I highly recommend this course if you want to improve your PS skills in a profound yet fun way!!

You’re afraid professional retouchers will notice your mistakes.

Images are rejected due to imperfections.

Retouching that looks noticeably over-processed.

Fear that ‘someone will zoom in close on that section’.

Discarding winning images due to stray hairs (human and animal!).

Spending days trying to fix objects that will annoy you forever.

Paying others to retouch your images for you.

Feeling embarrassed about telling a client you can’t do what they need.

Product & Food Photographer

Retouching Food Photography has helped me extend a background for a client image (in less than 5 minutes!), change the colors on a product without affecting the rest of the image, and I always, always come back to it before I make a composite (the plate trick is amazing!). Like when you need a busy tablescape scene and you only have 2 models!!

Rachel & Matt’s instruction are clear and concise and their knowledge of Photoshop is amazing! I strongly recommend it!

I joined the Retouching Food Photography course to improve my Photoshop skills for client work. The quality of my photos improved exponentially from learning techniques such as removing reflections and blemishes.

It came in handy when photographing glassware for clients product shots. It saved the day!

I recently took the Retouching Food Photography course with Rachel and Matt and loved every minute! I had no idea how how many techniques I could apply to my post production work to enhance my images!

The lessons are well thought out and the examples are clearly explained with simple directions on how to apply it to your own work. I also love that I can go back to a specific lesson whenever I need a little reminder on various techniques.

I was somewhat familiar with perhaps two tools in Photoshop and didn’t even know how to use them in the most effective ways. It was a combination of guessing and brute force to retouch my images.

I learned a lot of new techniques but learning to remove reflections effectively was probably the most valuable. Learning to use content-aware fill and the clone stamp effectively has saved me so much time and stress. And I’ve already been able to to apply those new skills to some client images on a recent shoot!

Removing the reflections of the glasses from that wine bottle was probably one of my proudest moments.

I have tried so many times to learn Photoshop, but it was so overwhelming that I would always quit. After taking Retouching Food Photography, using Photoshop now makes sense and I actually really enjoy it! It has been the best investment for my photography journey.

I’ve gone from not being able to open a picture in Photoshop, to merging images together, cleaning up photos and much more.
