My goal is to leave you feeling confident, motivated and passionate about your photography with a new set of ideas and perspective! I will teach simple and actionable techniques to scout out incredible compositions and the process of how to approach and execute unique photos in a moody and colorful environment. The classroom portion of this adventure will teach you a combination of Lightroom and Photoshop workflows and methods that will allow you to create some powerful images. Since we are 1:1 I will be going into a deep dive on layers and masking in Photoshop and YOU WILL understand them after this workshop. The beauty of being 1:1 allows us to edit YOUR photos with screen recordings documenting every click of the mouse. This is powerful tool to go back to rewatch and absorb and learn ALL the techniques you learned during our time together.

*** If you choose a multi day you will not only get a discount on the following days but also more opportunities to capture different conditions. I always advise for multi days (if possible) as we can't control the weather and you increase your chances in capturing more magical conditions. We also can spend substantial more time exploring and editing your photos together.
