Lightroom and Photoshop editing sessions

Buy your session, then you just get in contact to book in a session, any evening or weekend

The 1:1 session will take place in my editing suite in Norwich, Norfolk.

I have been using Photoshop as one of my own work tools for many years and with Lightroom thrown into the equation, I have created a great workflow for making my images stand out.

This session will stop you from being worried about what controls what and show you how to start editing and how to use the software for file management in both Photoshop and Lightroom and the use of some specific plugins.

I will supply you with a selection of images to be working with and show you step-by-step instructions as I edit along with you in the comfort of my own space, designed for making work.

The Lightroom and Photoshop editing sessions are designed to cover everything that creates everyday workflow including:

• Importing and selecting files
  
• File management
  
• The Lightroom library and how it works
  
• How catalogues work
  
• How to Crop and straighten on images in both Lightroom and Photoshop
  
• Making adjustments to White balance, shadows, highlights and contrast
  
• Working in layers in Photoshop
  
• Selecting multiple images to merge in panoramic mode
  
• Cloning and spot healing
  
• Dodge and burn
  
• sharpening and noise reduction
  
• Adding a watermark
  
• Exporting
  
• Printing
  

What do you need to bring for the session?

For the workshop, you will need to bring along a notepad and pen.

You can bring along your own laptop if you want to do some of your own images on there, if so I also recommend you bring the charger along for it as well, this will need to be running at least Lightroom 6 and an up-to-date version of Photoshop.

I will be supplying you with at least several of the following genres of images for you to edit.....

Including Landscapes, City Nightscapes, Astrophotography and portraits shoot. You will soon discover how easy it can be to edit these shots by using the correct workflow.

What experience do I have as a tutor?

All-day while shooting we will be discussing the theory behind making work, what stands out and what sells, what makes a good image and how can we get that image we see into our cameras. This comes off the back of my many years of commercial photography experience and time spent studying photography as an art form.

You know you will be in good hands during the sessions with me.

I spent over 4 years of teaching and writing workshops for all levels and ages of photographers for the country's biggest photographic retailer Wex Photo Video.

As one of the ambassadors for Formatt-Hitech filters, a UK based, yet one of the world's largest landscape filter companies, they fully support me in my work and pass on my knowledge of photography as I meet their high standards of excellence through my sessions.

5 years studying landscape and architecture photography to Master's degree level with some of the best mentors and tutors the country has, 

I have also picked up a few awards along the way and I have exhibited and been published worldwide, just check out my Shows and Awards page
