I knew from the audience’s reaction that Glyn had been a huge hit, but when I read the hundreds of written evaluation forms completed at the end of the day, I realised that what he did on stage that day wasn’t just a really good session on retouching. What he did was something really special. He connected with the audience in a way that a few people in this entire industry can. Whatever that “thing” is that makes someone go from a really good teacher to a world-class instructor, he has it in spades. I knew right then I had to ask him to join our “Instructor Dream Team” at the Photoshop World Conference and Expo.

One of the things I love about Glyn as an educator, is that he takes his audience beyond just the technical nuts and bolts of photography and emphasises the creative side of building an image. Too often we get stuck on f-stops and shutter speeds and forget that there is more to a successful photograph. In a way, Glyn is a coach, but instead of building muscles, he is motivating you to build a body of images that represent you as an artist. A good coach will always nurture you along to get the best out of you. Glyn has this gift.
