Massimo Silvestri

Hello there!

I’m Massimo, Art Director, Graphic Designer and Photo Editor with over 10 years of experience in the visual communication and fashion industries. I’ve worked with major international brands such as Giorgio Armani, where I led the graphic department within the Artistic Direction for over six years, focusing on editorial projects, advertising campaigns, high-end photo retouching, advanced compositing and strong visual identity systems.

Today, as a freelance professional, I offer personalized Photoshop lessons designed to help you master the tool creatively, confidently and professionally. No matter your starting point or creative background.

Each lesson is customized to your level, learning pace and goals. Whether you’re an absolute beginner, a student, or a creative professional looking to sharpen your skills in retouching, visual storytelling, compositing or color grading, I’ll build a program tailored just for you. Together, we’ll work through hands-on exercises, real-world workflows, and creative processes I’ve used for years in the industry.

My teaching method blends technical mastery, creative insight and strategic thinking. You won’t just learn how to use Photoshop tools! You’ll understand when, how and why to use them, depending on your project needs, personal style and visual goals. Lessons can be theoretical and practical, focused on real case studies (fashion campaigns, editorial design, social media content, portfolio development or branding), or structured as one-on-one creative mentorship.

I believe in quality, attention to detail, and the unique potential of every student. If you’re looking for an in-depth, flexible and inspiring way to learn Photoshop, I’d be happy to guide you through your journey.

See you in class!
