Creating Photos: Professional Image Production!
Shooting and Editing with Adobe Lightroom
Nowadays, we can take photos with a camera, a smartphone, a tablet… we can even film.
All devices are good, or almost good… but what will make the difference between a beautiful photo and a “professional” photo is the richness of your composition, framing, and the post-processing of your photos!
This training is comprehensive. A bit of basic theory, shooting exercises, and Lightroom editing.
Each participant brings their own camera (a camera can be provided if needed).
