Learn how to turn even your most boring photos into artwork
From basic editing techniques that help you draw out the beauty in your photos, to advanced techniques where you combine elements from different photos to create jaw-dropping artworks. This workshop will teach you the tools and techniques in Lightroom and Photoshop you need to create the looks you’re aiming for, and help you develop your own editing style by combining them.
Lifetime Access!
“If you want to learn Lightroom and Photoshop from scratch, you’ve come to the right place. The topics are short and sweet, yet they cover everything you need to know. It really makes you look forward to the next lesson. What’s more, you can put what you’ve learnt into practice straight away. Before this, Lightroom and Photoshop were a complete mystery to me – far too complicated for me to want to spend any time on them.”
Silke Z.
WHY? WHAT? AND HOW?
Editing software programs can be overwhelming. So many tools to investigate, so many options to combine them. I get you. When I first downloaded the Lightroom software I couldn’t fathom out how to import photos, never mind edit them. I opened and closed the software at intervals, and regularly announced that I’m one of those photographers who prefer unedited photos. That was until a good photography friend showed me the basics in exchange for borrowing my Nikkor wide-angle lens for the weekend.
I’ve never looked back. I love editing my photos. I love taking the most boring photo from the shot and setting myself the challenge to turn it into something special - just for myself. I love taking photos of boring houses, importing them to Photoshop, extracting them and then using textures and combination techniques to turn them into artwork. I love creating gifs with image sequences, and I love inventing my own editing techniques.
And if all this sounds far too technical, complicated and far-away from your current skill level, then let it be known, that I also love teaching in a way that is easy to understand. Yes, I really hate complicated and mentally switch off whenever someone starts getting too tied-up-in-the-tech.
So if you’re a creative soul who longs to create digital art with their photos, or plainly wants to develop a unique editing style to set yourself apart from the rest then YOU’VE COME TO THE EXACT RIGHT PLACE.
Master Lightroom
What sets this workshop apart from other image editing workshops?
Like most other Lightroom workshops, this one also includes extensive tutorials on how to navigate the software and use its organisation and editing features.
HOWEVER, it’s the only workshop where you’ll learn:
HOW TO ANALYSE INDIVIDUAL PHOTOS TO ASSESS THEIR POTENTIAL AND EDIT ACCORDINGLY
This workshop provides the invaluable information you need to analyse each of your images before you begin editing. Your editing process can change the photo’s character and reveal the elements that tell its story. When introducing the tools, you’ll learn when they make sense - and how to apply them in different scenarios.
TRICKS AND METHODS I’VE INVENTED MYSELF:
Combining the editing tools to create unique looks
Creating unique presets, exporting them and selling them on the internet
My unique organisation methods will help you find images within seconds
Create artefacts
HOW TO DEFINE YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE WITH YOUR EDITING LOOK
You’ll learn how to create the same look in your images (and no, this is not just applying the same presets, but more about adjusting light and colours to create the same look).
IT WILL ALWAYS BE UP TO DATE
Adobe is constantly updating the software and adding new tools and features. I work closely with Adobe and receive updates and coaching to understand any new features as soon as they are released. In every case, I will immediately update the program so you’re always up to date.
I also constantly experiment with new editing methods and love combining the features. Whenever I invent a new method, you’ll be the first to learn how to apply it to your images.
Master Photoshop
Creating artworks like this will soon be a breeze for you. You’ll be creating pieces that not only look completely mesmerising, but that are also easy to create.
Making them isn’t a quick process, but it’s an incredibly enjoyable and rewarding one. It’s the kind of artwork where you lose track of time and become completely immersed in the process.
Every step can be customised and changed at any time to suit your preferences.
The artwork combines various processes, and you’ll be guided through each one in small steps.
learn lightroom
You will learn everything you need to know to organise your images, edit them, both with the editing tools and the new masking tools, how to create effects, for instance snow, birds, bubbles, bokeh, fog and light rays and also how to save your edits as presets to create the same look with the click of a mouse in the future (and even sell them as sets).
Also includes 3 edits including RAW files, so you can edit together with me on the same image, and learn how to create the same looks.
Organising:
Lightroom is perfect for organising your photos, not just within the software but also on your hard drive - yes! you really can manage your photos from within the software. You will learn how to organise your images so that you can find them within seconds.
Sorting:
As digital photographers, we tend to take too many photos and in Lightroom, you can quickly sort through your images, select the best ones and delete the ones that you don't want from your hard drive and save space.
Analysing Potential:
Unlike other Lightroom workshops, this workshop will also teach you how to analyse your images for editing. Not every image is ideal for the type of edit you might have. You will learn how to weigh up your options and understand if Lightroom can create the image that you were hoping for. The knowledge in this chapter will help you create photos within the camera with the end edit in mind, and it will save you hours of experimenting to see if something will work in the way you were hoping it would.
Editing:
Lightroom is an editing program, and in this chapter, you will learn how use each of the tools and also how to combine them to create the looks you’ve envisioned.
Image Style via Editing:
Using a particular editing style in all your images is one of the best ways to define your photography style, and in this chapter, I will show you how to re-adapt your edit so that all your images have the same look regardless of subject and light.
Mask Edits:
Lightroom’s masking tools really set the program apart from any other edit editing programs out there, and in this chapter, you will learn how to use them individually and combine them in unusual ways to create unique image looks.
Creating Presets:
You will also learn how to create presets with your edit so that you can use them with one click in the future and save hours of time. This chapter includes tutorials on how to create presets with entire edits and also individual editing steps so that you can mix and match the presets. You will also learn how to save artefacts and overlays as presets.
Creating Effects:
This is where we’ll start getting really creative! You’ll learn how to create effects, for instance, bubbles, fog, light rays, little birds, and entire looks that you can paint over an image. These are methods that I have created over the years and that you will learn nowhere else other than in this workshop. THESE ARE MY SECRETS, AND I’M HANDING THEM OVER TO YOU!
The workshop will also be constantly updated, so whenever a new feature is added, you’ll be the first to learn how they work!
Things you might be wondering before you buy the course (AKA FAQs):
+ Which editing software are you using to demonstrate?
I will be doing all my demonstrating in Lightroom Classic however if you are using the Lightroom desktop app you can apply the same edits, and the software is similar. I would recommend using Lightroom Classic for editing anyway because it has more tools.
+Will you be covering editing in the smartphone Lightroom app?
No, but you can easily apply the methods learned in this workshop to the Lightroom app. Most of the tools in Lightroom classic can also be found in the smartphone app, however I prefer to edit my photos enlarged on my desktop.
+ Is this workshop for beginners or for more advanced students?
This online Lightroom course will take the beginner user to an advanced level in no time, and for the more intermediate user, it will fill any gaps of knowledge that are causing confusion. If you feel you’re not using Lightroom to its full potential, this course is for you.
+ How long do I have access to the workshop?
You’ll have lifetime access to the contents so that you can learn at your own pace and in your own time. Please note that the workshop will be constantly updated whenever Lightroom introduces new features.
