What led me to make this course?
After years of editing and teaching, I noticed a common pattern: most Lightroom tutorials only cover bits and pieces, and assume you already know things that you might notāleaving out the small details that actually make a big difference.
Thatās why I created this course. Itās built to be complete, clear, and continually updated as Lightroom evolves.
I donāt just walk you through the basicsāI show you how to bring your own artistic vision into every photo. We dive into the creative process, building your own style, and learning how to add that extra flare that makes your work feel likeĀ you. I also break down full edits from start to finish, showing every little nuance and decision I make to help my images stand out.
This isnāt a static courseāitās something Iām always tweaking and improving, just like your edits should be. If you're ready to go beyond surface-level sliders and start creating more intentional, impactful images, this course is for you.
I look forward to seeing you inside!

Lesson Highlights
š Introduction
Hey! First we go over who I am, the difference between Lightroom CC and Lightroom Classic. We will be primarily operating in Lightroom Classic, however, most of this course applies to Lightroom CC as well. Then we go over a very important note on editing which everyone should know.
š Import, Cull & Organize
When you have thousands upon thousands of images, things can get a little unorganized. If you want to edit like the Pros, you need to know how we do it, and it starts right at the import. Being able to Cull and Organize your photos properly can speed you up by 50% or more!
š Editing fundamentals
This is key and if missed, can ruin your ability to understand and edit in ways you want. Most people want to get to the goods at the end and skip over the basics. But without this building block, you limit yourself greatly. Without a good understanding of the panels - you are just setting yourself up for failure.
And I bet even the seasoned Pro's will learn a little something-somethingšĀ
šÆ Local adjustments
Knowing the difference between and how to use correctly a Global and a Local Adjustment can be the difference between your images being "nice" and "Holy S**T thats a stunning work of Art"
In this section we will dive deep into the masks and other tools to learn how to make your photos come alive. Including retouching, dodging and burning, light shaping and more.
š¼ļø Editing Workflows
Now that we have a full understanding of Lightroom, the editing panels, hotkeys, short cuts, light manipulation and more, its time to put it all together. I walk you through the raw and unfiltered, from beginning to end of my entire workflow.
How I tackle images, how I create certain looks and everything else a Professional Photographer does behind the scenes in editing. And yes, sometimes its a little random and "unsure" where to go next, but I also go over how to handle those moments too.
We will even go over some of my hidden techniques that I've never shown before.
šØ BONUS that NO other course has
Every photographer has their own style, methods and ways of editing. As you edit, you will develop your own methods and habits. This is Great! However, it's always amazing to see how other successful photographers do it and learn from them.
That's why I am constantly reaching out to other photographers to bring their edits to you.
In addition to all of my lessons and full edits, I am adding FULL EDITS from OTHER PRO-PHOTOGRAPHERS to bring you into their world and see their methods of editing and get a feel of how they do things.
These photographers have turned their passion into their livelihood and invite you to look behind the curtain and see how they produce their incredible works!

Welcome to my Lightroom 'Awesomeness' Course!
This video goes over a summary of the course as I was developing it. I made this video as I put it together before the course even had a name. But I liked how it was simple and it gives a simple summary of the course and what you will get out of it.
