Objective:
In this workshop, students will have a guided, hands-on learning experience using Lightroom Classic to edit their photographic work.
Course Description:
In the first half of the workshop, instructor Frank Varney will demonstrate editing in Lightroom Classic using 2-3 image files from each student. During this time, the why and how of the editing process will be discussed, with questions encouraged.
All aspects of the Lightroom Classic image editing process will be covered and all genres of photography are supported. The editing techniques discussed are primarily oriented toward students developing a personal artistic style, with the goal of producing image files for personal or professional use (including exhibition printing, book publishing, social media, and client delivery).
