Telling Better Stories with
Lightroom Classic

July 18
Zoom!
$295/person

Make the story of your image come to life with intentional editing in Lightroom.

In this virtual workshop you will learn how to identify the star of your image and the story you want to tell. We will explore the psychology of color to fine-tune the mood of your photo to match your story. We will explore editing strategies to get the viewer into the photograph and find the star of the story. You will learn specific editing practices such as dodging and burning, the use of gradients, manipulating contrast and the use of black and white to make your story resonant with the viewer. Each participant will submit one RAW image before the workshop so that the instructor can use them to demonstrate specific editing techniques throughout the workshop.
