If you’re new to photography and are looking to create jaw dropping images, then you already know you need a solid editing workflow.

So I'll spare you the spiel…

This has already been drilled deep into your photography DNA

You probably already know that learning how to successfully edit and manage your ever growing photo collection is the single most important thing that will allow you to maximizing your time and show off your beautiful work to the world.

You’ve probably also heard that Adobe Lightroom is the industry standard when it comes to editing and organizing photo collections.

Learn To Edit? Awesome!

But Where The Heck Do I Start??

Here’s why most would-be photographers abandon learning to use Lightroom

• Without a step by step plan to use it, most would-be photographers get completely lost.
• They fall victim to the paralyzing tech hangups (everyone on youtube makes it look soooo easy!), and have a no clarity for knowing exactly when an image is finished.

Therefore having a reliable Lightroom workflow is one of the few things you NEED to get right the first time!

In all likelihood your competitors have either failed in their journey to learn effective editing or are editing their photos in a way their clients don't even find pleasing.

Which means…

There’s still a golden opportunity for you to jump in, clean up the mess and create an editing style you're in love with!

That is… if you can avoid the same Lightroom mistakes everyone else is making.

5 Reasons Why You Haven't Learned How To Use Lightroom Classic

Reason 1 - Don’t have time to learn Lightroom

Lightroom will save you hours upon hours of time by allowing you to edit multiple photos at a time. Spend an afternoon learning how to use Lightroom and you'll be able to cut your editing time in more than half.

Reason 2 - Lightroom seems complicated

Driving a car, spreading peanut butter on bread, tying your shoes. All of these things seem difficult to children, but have all become second nature to you by now. You're in a learning stage where everything is new and seems difficult. That's normal. When in reality, just like driving a car, Lightroom Classic is very simple when you’re taught step by step the process to get going.

Reason 3 - Isn't Lightroom just for Professionals

While Lightroom is the preferred choice of many professionals, the real value comes in being able to organize your ever growing library of photos. Which increasingly everyone needs regardless of whether you make money with your camera or not. It’s the same way a professional chef might use a $1000 mixer to create their award winning pastries, you can still use it to make your moms chocolate chip cookies.

Reason 4 - You're still working on your camera skills

When you know HOW a tool works you can make a better product. A “Brenizer Photo” is a method of taking multiple images and then stitching the photos together digitally in Lightroom. The editing tool created a way to physically shoot differently. Being competent with your camera is important but not required to start.

Reason 5 - You Think Edited Images Can't Look Natural

We see images everyday that are clearly edited heavily. It is understandable to think that editing is a form of manipulation. Truth is professionals with decades of experience edit their photos to put their signature look on them. You may see greens a bit more minty or more neon than I do. It’s your job to put your signature on an image in the way you see light and color. Everyday, photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Jerry Ghionis, Vanessa Joy, and Platon edit their photos to make them more real to life according to how they see the world.

It’s time you take editing seriously too and approach it accordingly.

And with your permission, that’s what I’d LOVE to show you how to create!

Let’s take an in depth look into the courses content.

Module 1 : Formal Introduction

Here you will be formally introduced to Adobe Lightroom Classic and Lightroom CC along with all of its powerful functions. You'll learn where everything is stored in Lightroom, why I use Lightroom over Photoshop, how to know for yourself, and all the important terms you need to know broken down in an easy to understand way.

Module 2 : Import and Organize

We will be importing our first photos into Lightroom Classic with intention. No longer will you just import and find later. This is the foundation of how powerful Lightroom is. We will build a strong organizational strategy that takes no time to set up. You will also learn how to protect your images from being stolen online and how to create smart folders that automatically update with your best images.

Module 3 : Global Editing

In this step we will be making our first edits to our images and go through each panel to discover what each slider does and exactly how to use it to enhance the uniqueness of your photos.

Module 4 : Local Editing

Sometimes a photo needs a bit more help to bring attention to your subject or remove a distracting loose hair. This is where we will explore the powerful capabilities Lightroom has that were previously only available in more advanced editors like Photoshop. Look at you making big moves!!

Module 5 : Live Editing Session

As much as I love to learn what each tool does sometimes it clicks best when I see how they are used together in a real life editing session. You'll see me walk through the step by step process to create photos I can't wait to deliver to my clients. You will also learn once and for all the power of batch processing!

Module 6 : Exporting

This is the final step in the process, planting your flag in the ground that you are done and happy with your image and excited to share it with the world. How we export our photos will have as much of an effect on our viewer as the edit itself and knowing how to resize, whether or not you should sharpen your photo, and what the heck DPI is. We will tackle these options 1 by 1 and build you a solid export preset saving you time and the headache of past long upload times and running out of hard drive space!
