Thoughts from Gavin on Creative Essentials. “A good effect is not made by how over the top it is and CE draws that line at simple, creative effects. It’s been refined into a set of tools that are versatile and effective. Not complicated, not over the top. Just creative tools that work. CE sets a solid workflow foundation for the Photoshop user, but it also makes a great kit for the detail and refinement work of someone who primary edits in Lightroom. It’s also the perfect set to go side by side with my Hollywood Effects actions.” Gav.

I'm Gavin Seim. I'm a Shadow Hunter

I started photography in 1997 at age 12. I'm a PPA Master, Hot One and Loan Collection winner and Lightroom expert. My images, tools and workshops have been featured in books and throughout the industry.
 

I was born in WA USA. I started working pro (using that word loosely as I sucked) using film at age 16. It was not easy to find training then and often I beat my head against the wall to win. 20+ years in the trenches earned me my Masters (M.Photog) from PPA but it taught me that's just the start.


I moved to Mexico in 2017, exploring the magical light of the South, creating tools and workshops as well as the Pro Photo Podcast. There's lots of videos and free things here. If you have questions I'm here to help

You're rightly skeptical of photography tools in today's market. That's why all sales are NOT FINAL here. I guarantee each tool and workshop with my 31 day No-Regrets Guarantee! --
