We will discuss the basics of workflow (something every photographer needs just a little of), and then jump into basic editing in Lightroom Classic CC including white balance, exposure, levels, and curves. Students should bring their laptop and will be provided a set of images so they can “click along” with the instructor. Students are also welcome to work on their own images. Concepts Covered How to import your images. Where to store your images. BASIC IMAGE EDITING: white balance, exposure, levels & curve. Cropping and rotating images. Dust and spot removal.

He has a studio in his home and runs Scott D Photography with his wife, Jennifer. Scott fell in love with photography about 10 years ago while working in Chicago and began the long journey of learning all he could. His favorite subject continues to be the concept of "urban decay" and his business focuses on family and children portraiture. Scott loves two things about photography. First, you can never learn it all. Second, the industry is brimming with other professionals willing and enthusiastic about guiding you through your next photographic adventure. Teaching has always been a passion for Scott, and he's thrilled to continue that passion.
