Lightroom classic

Lightroom Classic and Photoshop are very capable software packages but have a lot of options often doing similar things which can make it daunting to work out what to do.

My philosophy as a photographer is to spend as much time as possible taking pictures and be as efficient as I can when processing the images to get the best results with a minimal amount of screen time.  Im a photographer not a computer operator after all!

The secret to this is having a workflow that takes your from camera to printer and is easy to understand especially when you can be faced with 100s of images and are not sure where to start.

This Lightroom Classic Class teaches a simple but powerful workflow that helps you go from camera to publishing your final in the least number of steps possible.  I use simple steps, clear instructions and you get a clearly documented PDF with annotated screenshots to make it easy to repeat.

Run as a face to face or Zoom session with a limited number of participants I can answer your questions and focus on what you want to know.

Ian talked to me about framing the shot, how to ensure that the eye is pulled to the focus of the shot, how to ensure the exposure was right when there was a lot of contrast in bright conditions and much more. He told me about changing exposure lengths for different effects and other simple suggestions that I think have hugely improved the pictures I take. Ian’s explanations were very simple and clear. He is an excellent and very knowledgeable photographer he gave me simple and straightforward advice which I found really helpful
