I would highly recommend the Gud Way Workshop. PG has a highly organized workflow for post processing using the very best techniques which he openly shares in his class. You won’t be disappointed.

I wanted to take some time to say how wonderful PG’s classes were. I took his retouching classes in October of 2015. I was still fairly new to editing and having a brain injury I learn very slowly and can I be very challenging. PG was very patient and made sure I was understanding as much as possible. By far the best instructor I have had. Even now, if I have questions he is there to answer them. I’m looking forward to learning more from him in the future. If you get a chance to learn from him, take it!

I have had a number of different teachers and mentors but the one that stands out is PG. He is very prepared, shares all he knows and is very approachable. He also makes himself available after workshops if you have additional questions. Much of the work I do has his signature because I keep on using his techniques over and over. I can’t wait to see what workshop he is going to come up next.  In a few words… PG is Gud!
