I'm Helen Bradley, an expatriate
Australian writer of Photoshop, photography, computer and general craft articles.

I live in sunny California and I write cool hands-on tutorials and host videos teaching how to take photos, use Photoshop and make crafts. That's what life should be about - having fun - and my job is all about fun.

 

Helen Bradley Résumé

I write heaps of columns each month and make around 12 videos. I teach how to take great photos and how to fix not so great photos. I also design paper craft and jewelry projects for some wonderful craft magazines and of course, I write articles on computer software. 

My columns appear in some of the world's best and biggest magazines: from the US to the UK, Australia and Canada and beyond. Check out my work page to see which magazines in your country carry my work. You can see some of my articles online, visit my Office tips blog, and my Photoshop and Photography blog to see my work. On http-design.com, you'll see my artwork and at backgroundartz.com you can buy PowerPoint backgrounds and stock photography.

I love what I do, and I do what I love. I've turned what was my hobby: Photoshop, photography, computers and crafts, into a job.

 

For fun, in 2009 I plan to travel further and wider than before. In the last 2 years I've photographed in the UK, France, Italy, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Australia. I have Bangkok, India, Greece and Holland on my "next stops" list.

For recreation I see heaps of movies at the local art house cinema and I read trashy novels. I watch more movies at home on my PC than I care to admit to (thanks Netflix!), I play with polymer clay and altered art, I read and study art. I've also been known to write short fiction.
