Photoshop lessons - Kamila Gruss

"Richard has taught me things that nobody shows anywhere! His way of working on raw is amazing and allows you to get all the details you can. Since he showed it to me, it is the basis of my work on each photo."

​

Kamila J. Gruss | Poland

Rachel Owen - Photoshop lessons

"Richard's classes are by far the most inspirational I own.  The behind the scenes look at his work alone makes the class worth it not to mention the in-depth education you will receive. Richard's technique is unlike anything I've seen from other instructors and an invaluable tool to have in my 'creating toolbox'. "

​

Rachel Owen | Chicago, USA

Carrie - Photoshop lessons

"Regardless of your current setup, painterly portraits shows you how to get started right away with everything from natural light, one light setups and beyond."

​

Carrie Rheinberger | Australia

Sarah simmons, Photoshop lessons

This course was everything I had been searching for! I think I may possibly have purchased every painterly portraits tutorial in the world and there is nothing like Richard's. 

​

Sarah Simmons | New Zealand

felcia Schuette, photoshop lessons

“Learning from Richard is an honor and delight, having the privilege to get access to his classes is invaluable, - truly a world of wonders opens!”


Felicia Schuette | Caribbean, Netherlands

Lainie Marie - photoshop lessons

"I switched to shooting Child Fine Art full time!  His lighting and editing tutorials have helped tremendously..." 

​

Lainie Marie | Ontario, Canada

Shelley Wolfe Franlin, photoshop lessons

"When his class (Creative Portrait Series) came out I had to snap it up to see how it could help make my composites more realistic. I was drawn to the class to learn how to use textures and overlays to more seamlessly complete the composites..."

​

Shelley Wolfe Franklin | Arizona, USA

Cat Ford-Coates | photography lessons

"When I’m feeling overwhelmed or blocked, I always return to Richard’s Portrait Masters talk. His formula for composing in the abstract puts my mindset in a different space that allows me be open to creating more intentionally."

​

Cat Ford-Coates | North Carolina, USA

Kamila J Grusss | photoshop and photography lessons

"Richards tutorials are fantastic! His workshop videos are an amazing glimpse into his processes and approach. He truly takes you through all the steps you need to go through. Richard doesn’t hold back, nor fills in time with empty advice. Everything that he teaches here is meaningful and straight to the point." 

​

Kamila J. Gruss | Poland

Felicia Schuette | photoshop lessons an tutorials

"His love, passion and depth radiates from each and every of his remarkable masterpieces, so is his patience and sincere motivation to share and pass on knowledge through his teachings,
- giving all he has and knows."

​

Felicia Schuette | Caribbean, Netherlands

Paulina Gwaltney, photoshop lessons

"Your workshop allowed me to shift to my true self. I was very modest with props and creativity since I was focus on growing my business. When I saw your workshop I realized I can be as creative as I want and my clients will still buy my work."

​

Paulina gwaltney | Albuquerque, USA

edwardo castro, photoshop lessons and tutorials

"I had been looking at many courses and teachers online, but none of them helped me create that extra sense of magic and heightened reality that moves me so deeply when I go to the Prado and view works by the Masters. Richard’s courses were the ones that finally helped me learn how to make my photographs express the depth of emotion that I wanted them to."

​

Ricardo Castro | Madrid, Spain

Travis Patenaude tutorials and lessons

"Richards courses has really helped me take my portraits to a whole new level and has helped me get a nomination for PPA Grand Imaging Award for Pets Category also two Gold medals and two silver medals from Master Photography International this year. "
