Founder of Bring Your Own Laptop & Chief Instructor
instructorI discovered the world of design as an art student when I stumbled upon a lab full of green & blue iMac G3’s. My initial curiosity around using the computer to create ‘art’ developed into a full-blown passion, eventually leading me to become a digital designer and founder of Bring Your Own Laptop.
Sharing and teaching are a huge part of who I am. As a certified Adobe instructor, I've had the honor of winning multiple Adobe teaching awards at their annual MAX conference. I see Bring Your Own Laptop as the supportive community I wished for when I was first starting out and intimidated by design. Through teaching, I hope to bring others along for the ride and empower my students to bring their stories, labors of love, and art into the world.
True to my Kiwi roots, I've lived in many places, and currently, I reside in Ireland with my wife and kids.

Hi everyone, this video is some definitions of terms...
we're going to be doing some color correction in this next section...
and then later in the course we're going to be doing color grading...
what is the difference? Color correction is just fixing colors...
and color grading often, is stylizing it...
so this is an image from yesterday, a couple of days ago, at a car show...
so this car here, I've done some color corrections...
so that was like it was as shot, and this is how I wanted...
or at least how I felt like it shot in real life.
The colors of the car, I've messed with the greens down the bottom there...
can you see the before, after, before, after...
I lifted some of these oranges, they were in the roof...
they were just kind of like washed out in the photograph...
kind of folded them up, so that's color correction.
So we're going to do a bunch of that in this section...
and then later on I'll show you...
this is where I ended up with the color grading...
so this is kind of my final piece that I used and sent out...
this is like a style that I've added color grading, you got it?
Color correction, fixing, color grading, styling it, there we go...
got that done, on to the next video...
or if you want to mess around with that...
there's two in your 03 Corrections, there's two raw files...
there's this one, compositionally not particularly great...
especially because, you can see my bald head in this one...
but beautiful car, if you did want to play around with them, not essential.
All right, that's it, color correction, color grading, done.
