My approach is:

One thing I have learned through all the years of working in the studio photography field is that knowing & understanding the ground concepts of photography, lighting & retouching are essential when trying to execute such a project.

A step-by-step guide on studio portrait lighting. The shooting process involves working with up to four strobes and this course includes complete sections on understanding how to accurately set up the lights.

The lessons that follow provide a wide focus on retouching techniques. Techniques such as working with color & sharpening, dodge & burn, advanced masking, color grading, light fixes & corrections, as well as creating a realistic feel & light look.

The idea behind the course is not only to familiarise you with the Portrait Photography & Photoshop techniques but also to help you understand the reason for using certain methods and how to improve with your retouching techniques.

I’ve been teaching Photoshop & Retouching on Udemy since 2012. In my personal capacity, I’m an owner of a Digital Media Agency where the core focus lays in Content Creation....

Speaks a bit too fast, fortunately I am familiar with Photoshop basics. Video section slow in comparison, much time spent labouring over the manual retouching, repetitive, perhaps for slower learners who want to follow along?

I like the instructor. He's not wasting my time with a lot of excess verbiage and his voice is not annoying.
I already have experience with Photoshop, so I did not think he spoke too fast.
I had to get used to his dialect ("E" pronounced as "I", for example), but that was an easy hurdle.
