    Welcome to the Master Adobe Lightroom Fast course, where you will learn how to organize, edit, and safely backup your photo library.

    My name is Mark, and I'm a full time photographer shooting product, portrait, and event photography.

    In fact the bulk of my photography work is covering international corporate events. I've traveled to almost 20 countries in the past two years shooting everything from corporate retreats to conventions with 4,000 attendees.

    It has been a big job to keep all of these photo assets organized, edited, and backed up - but fortunately Adobe Lightroom is up to the task.

    I've designed this course to help you get up to speed with Adobe Lightroom as fast as possible. By the end of this course, you should be easily managing your own growing photo portfolio, applying powerful edits that will drastically improve your work, and be able to rest easy knowing that your photos are organized, safe, and backed up.

    The ideal student for this course is any photographer who is new to Adobe Lightroom and eager to find a great solution for managing a photo library.

    Feel free to look through the course description and I look forward to seeing you inside!
