LIGHTROOM FUNDAMENTALS                                         
Whether you are new to Lightroom, or have experience with earlier releases, this course provides all the necessary instruction to fully incorporate Lightroom into your standard digital workflow. Our main focus is the Library and Develop modules where you will learn to create catalogues, import and organize files, and edit your images using the powerful, but simple to use, Develop Module sliders. In the remaining time we will discuss Lightroom's other modules, including the Print Module and what you need to know to achieve high quality and "accurate" output. (more details)

NAKED VISION WORKSHOP
So often we think the only way to make great, award-winning photographs is to travel to far-off places and capture scenes not easily accessible. But in fact, successful, rewarding, and highly acclaimed images can be made right HERE, by YOU, in your OWN backyard. Practice learning to see, really see, what is in front of you, whatever it may be. Learn to pay attention to your visual world, and to recognize and respond to objects and scenes that appeal to you. Learn the value of letting go of expectations, (yours and others'), and to trust your instincts. (more details)


PORTFOLIO DEVELOPMENT: B&W and COLOR                                                                   Take your images from good to great

You will learn to critically evaluate your images and explore steps to take so your output matches your vision. We cover technical, aesthetic and design/composition issues, all with respect to the impact on individual images and the portfolio as a whole. This class provides the structure and opportunity to review, evaluate and improve your photographs in an supportive and educational environment. (more details)
