The response to the Tech Series Workshops have been overwhelming, and I am proud to offer this technical workshop designed to enhance your technical ability and visual sense. This workshop is for those photographers with a working knowledge of LR4 and CS6 who wish to take their imagery to the next level. This series will consist of comprehensive classroom instruction.

I receive daily e-mails asking me why my images appear more lifelike, sharper, and dimensional than those others post on the web. I will walk you slowly and completely through my process, showing you all the tips and techniques that I use from the point of capture.

This course is guaranteed to further your image making ability and creatively expand your photographic horizons. Every participant has said this class elevated there imagery more than they ever imagined.

You need to bring a laptop loaded with LR4 and CS6. You are welcome to bring along a few images you wish to enhance.

Additionally, learn how to make templates for a mini print portfolio (my best marketing tool), posters made easy, text effects, watermarks, and more.

Lightroom 4® is rapidly becoming the post-production starting point for many photographers. Not only does it allow for the application of non-destructive develop settings to an image, it is a true asset management software, allowing the photographer to organize images quickly and efficiently.
