I had no idea that my old friend, Peter, could be so good at Photoshop…
You see, Peter isn’t much of a photographer. And even less experienced in post-processing.
He has always been more interested in holiday snaps than perfectly posed portraits.
But the recent travel restrictions meant he had nothing interesting to shoot.
He was stuck at home and it wasn’t long before his camera started collecting dust!
When he came to me for advice, I suggested he scroll through ExpertPhotography’s Instagram page for inspiration…
And that’s where he came across the whimsical self-portraits of Joel Robison!
The images were so much fun, Peter immediately signed up to one of Joel’s private classes so that he could try it for himself.
I was glad Peter had found a new way to experiment with photography, but I wasn’t expecting much…
But about a week later he shared a couple of his photos with me, and I couldn’t believe my eyes!
The images were so creative, magical, whimsical, and fun… I knew I wanted more…

“The tutorials are great for beginners AND more experienced artists...”
Kris Kashtanova
As a former school teacher, Joel has a great ability to teach what he knows in a way that is easy to understand and follow along. He shares everything he knows openly, the process of coming up with ideas, how to execute them with a camera, and then how to compose it in Photoshop.
The tutorials are great for beginners and more experienced artists because Joel focuses on details, such as adding shadows and masking to add realism. The main thing is that he shares where his concepts come from, why they’re not only beautiful images but full of meaning and each person who’s looking at the image can take something from it to think deeply about life.

The amount of growth I’ve seen in my own work since I signed up is awesome. The behind-the-scenes glimpses of how he works, tutorials on various techniques (especially concerning light and shadow) and Photoshop tools I didn’t know existed, templates to use, and critiques of my work are invaluable. Joel is not only an excellent teacher delivering material in small doses, he is just a really nice person.
Sarah Roizman
As a busy small business owner, Joel’s product has not only saved me time but helped me create magical memories with my kids. And on times when I feel stuck with creative ideas, his work helps me a lot. P.S. the shadows technique was a game-changer for me!
