We have virtual instructor led training via Zoom, Teams etc with a live trainer accompanying you throughout the course or we visit you at your premises to host the course onsite.
Why use Lightroom?
How to deal with large amounts of photos?
Lightroom is perfect for the photographer with a huge library of photo’s and contains a powerful visual database and for anyone dealing with huge amounts of images its catalogue and collection features are invaluable. On this course you’ll learn how to organise and store your image collections easily and efficiently
What is RAW?
Basically an unprocessed, uncompressed image file caught on your camera that enables high-quality post-processing
There we go, two things learnt already and we’re only a couple of paragraphs down the page. You’ll learn the techniques for importing and organising large image collections, applying consistent colour corrections and enhancements, using presets for faster editing and exporting photos ready for print or web use.
Who this course is for?
Designed for new and developing Lightroom users, this practical hands on Lightroom course focuses on real-world workflows that save time and improve visual outcomes.
Beginners who want to learn Adobe Lightroom properly from the ground up- Photographers who feel unsure about their current editing workflow
- Anyone with a growing image library who needs help staying organised
- People using presets but wanting to understand how to edit images themselves
- Individuals or teams looking for structured, practical training they can apply straight away

What will you achieve on this course?
Whether you’re an aspiring photographer, content creator, or design professional, you’ll learn how to manage, edit, and enhance photos to a professional level.
Our Lightroom courses tend to be bespoke with content tailored around your own work. We think working with your own photography offers a better learning curve when it’s relevant to you than images created by someone else. Quite often this also means you walk away from the course with beautifully edited photographs (bonus).

*We’re aware that some photo exhibitions and shows have specific criteria and restrictions with regard to AI generation. We respect these, understand the limitations involved and work with them.
*This topic is optional
*Social Media and Marketing your work
Editing your photographs is only part of the process how you present them for online exposure matters just as much.
This optional section shows you how to take your finished images from Lightroom and prepare them properly for social media, so your work looks clean, consistent and professional across different platforms.
You’ll learn how to maintain quality, avoid common issues like poor cropping or compression, and present your images in a way that feels intentional and on-brand.
This module teaches you to control the ‘first impression’ your audience sees in their feed.”

Bespoke Lightroom and Photoshop for Photographers Course
Both software apps are incredibly powerful photo editing tools in their own right but together they can improve, enhance and take your photography to a completely different level
About Lightroom
Lightroom excels at organising and cataloguing making it ideal for photographers working with large amounts of photo’s.
It also works extremely well when working with global edits (global edits adjust the entire image rather than a specific area) and presets.
About Photoshop
Photoshop is layer based and gives greater control over more detailed image editing especially for retouching, cloning and more complex editing tasks.
You can use Lightroom to add text to photo’s by adapting the watermark feature but Photoshop gives you access to way more powerful text editing tools.
