As an instructor, I work with a student's experience in the traditional darkroom and photo studio to develop a complete digital imaging strategy to be more productive and/or creative. I speak at Photoshop World, PhotoExpo in NYC, Imaging USA, and at the Photo Marketing Associations national and international conventions. Additionally, I work on a freelance basis for private schools and companies that require an insightful instructor to work with their students and staff.

  • I am the Chair of the Masters of Professional Studies in Digital Photography at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.
  • See the schedule below to see if I am coming to a computer near you!
  • Enjoy a variety of digital imaging tips and tutorials listed under my teaching schedule.
  • Please visit my other websites and learn about my books and hobbies via www.katrineismann.com
  • I am teaming up with Jack Reznicki to create a series of informative and fun digital workshops and tours at www.digitalgurutours.com

I clearly remember how intimidated I was when I had to start a computer for the first time. Fifteen years later, I am still astounded that we can put software, images, words, and content into a plastic box - to create something completely new. In the classroom, my enthusiasm is contagious and I am an engaging, inspiring, and yes - sometimes exhausting instructor. I love this stuff and more importantly I love seeing the spark of "oh, I get it" in a student's eye as they race off with the mouse to create images never before possible.

I have a strong photographic and fine-art background and am best suited to work with photographers and artists as they delve into the advanced aspects of Adobe Photoshop. Since my schedule changes so often, please e-mail me to schedule personal classes or to develop a training curriculum for your company. I work throughout the world and speak and teach in both German and English.
