Description

Photographer Kevin Landwer-Johan teaches the digital workflow he has developed over many years to give you the confidence to choose your best photos and to identify the ones you will never use.

Using Adobe Lightroom he walks you carefully through the processes of:

  • importing your photos,

  • Basic keywording

  • Familiarizing yourself with the software interface

  • Culling your photos

  • Comparing and choosing your best photos

  • Refining the selection method

  • finalize your selection

  • applying basic balancing an editing

  • the use of presets.

Also included is teaching about using a beginners set of keyboard shortcuts. Lightroom contains so many keyboard shortcuts it can be overwhelming to know where to start, so Kevin has introduced the ones he uses the most frequently to give you a good foundation to build on.

This course teaches the essentials of the workflow Kevin has developed over many years, beginning in the 1980s when he first started working in the newspaper photography department. He understands the difficulty many people have in recognizing and selecting their own best images and so clearly teaches you how to overcome this difficulty.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who struggles to select their best photos
  • Everyone who is running out of storage space on their hard drives because they do not delete enough of their photos.
  • Anyone who wants to gain confidence in being able to share their best photos.
  • Anyone with an Instagram account
