    Course Syllabus & Modules:

    Week 1: Let’s Get Organised

    Adobe Lightroom is an intuitive piece of software that really can save you time. However, there is some preliminary work that needs to be done for this to occur and this involves implementing a DAM system. What on earth are we talking about, you ask? Let’s organise our images in a manner that makes finding your images easy. This week we introduce you to the way a professional photographer manages their hundreds of thousands of images into a concise, logical, and systemised workflow, along with filtering results in preparation for editing.

     

    Week 2: Technical meets Creative

    What constitutes a “good photo?” This week we delve into image labelling and the architecture of the Develop Module, looking at the photograph from both a technical and creative perspective. Critical analysis is a key ingredient to growth, so what aspects can be enhanced to improve the overall aesthetic of the image? Looking at the various ways to manipulate the overall look using global adjustment tools related to white balance, brightness, contrast, shadows, highlights, histogram insights and colour just to name a few, this week we will explore that a little can go a long way.

     

    Week 3: Advanced Tabs

    This week we explore the well-engineered tools Lightroom has to offer, in making localised adjustments, changes to specific areas of an image. Further we look at colour manipulation including black and white conversion and the nuances associated with the graduation of tone. We employ an old darkroom technique called Dodge and Burn to influence the way an image is read. After all, we are the authors of the story that is being told.

     

    Week 4: Streamlining

    Today, we discover the beauty of synchronising and bulk adjustments. Time is money, regardless of whether photography is a hobby or a career. We continue with the creation of importing and editing presets to streamline the common or repetitive processes one develops when using postproduction software such as Lightroom.

     

    Week 5: Publishing

    Whether an image is destined for the web or for a vacant wall in someone’s living room, there are some crucial checks that need to be exercised just to ensure what you see on screen is what you are truly going to get. Today, we go through the soft proofing process, ensuring that the adjustments made are transferrable to paper. Once complete we prepare presets and develop your understanding of exporting your files and managing your edited images, bringing full circle back to the beginning, ready for your next shoot.
