Batdorff Photography Learning Center

Private Lightroom Classes

You’ve got the basics down in-camera, but now you want to take your photography to the next level. Adobe’s Lightroom is a powerful, yet easy-to-use tool to process your images and take your photography up a notch. There are tons of post-production software options on the market. I’ve tried several. But in the end, I’ve found nothing works better than Lightroom. Simply put, it’s the best. I love Lightroom’s solid plug-ins, awesome presets, unparalleled RAW handling, non-destructive editing… I could keep going.

Your private, one-on-one Adobe Lightroom class will be tailored to your level, whether you're a beginner wanting the basics or a more advanced user looking to further develop your skills. We can cover importing, exporting, file formats, and the interface including basic tools and sliders such as the crop tool, graduated filter, radial filter and more, curves, sharpening, and we'll also dive into presets. Bring your laptop loaded up with Lightroom, a memory card with some images, and we will work together on your images on your computer. You’ll leave with not only increased knowledge and hands on experience with Lightroom, but with beautifully edited photos.

Learn at your pace when it's convenient for you. You can use our self-scheduling calendar tool to book time with us in 90 minute increments whenever it works for you. If we don't show a time that works, just go ahead and email us and we'll find mutually available time.
