When I first picked up a camera in 2008, I had no idea what I was doing. I just knew that I loved taking photographs. I travelled the world with my camera by my side, but could never understand why my photographs didn’t look like “other people’s” work. Was there more to digital photography than “out of camera” images?
Indeed there was. In fact, there was an entire world of digital negative development (RAW file development) that I knew nothing about. And photographers NEVER spoke about it. Today, professional photographers rarely give away their digital post production secrets, because it’s the behind the scenes magic that defines their unique visual aesthetic.
Now, Adobe Lightroom is the industry standard for professional digital post production, and anyone with a laptop can use it. We no longer need to push through the huge learning curve of film photography, where we would setup a dark room in our home and develop images over days using chemicals. Now we can develop negatives on our laptops in seconds.
This workshop is designed to leap frog your post production knowledge from a place of knowing absolutely nothing about it. This one day online Lightroom course will throw you straight into the world photographic development.
At the end of the workshop, I will develop 6 images from National Geographic to show you exactly how they were processed in Lightroom.
You will learn the fundamentals of this modern artistic tool extremely well. I’ve spent 10 years teaching Lightroom and simplifying this complex software so that you can focus on creating your own photographic masterpiece.
