why take this course
This 4-week live online workshop is designed for serious amateurs and early professionals. Adobe Lightroom Classic is an essential tool for anyone who works with large numbers of photographs, not only to edit your images and achieve the look you want, but also to save significant time when culling and editing, and to build an organised, efficient photo library that will serve you for years to come.
This workshop covers all these aspects, helping you develop a consistent visual style and an efficient workflow for your photography practice. We’ll explore the most important Lightroom settings and features, so you can confidently take a large body of photographs from import to final delivery.
The goal is to make Lightroom a tool that works for you, rather than something complicated that slows you down or gets in the way of your photography. You’ll learn how to achieve consistent results, develop your own visual style, and deliver polished, professional-looking photographs.

MARCO SERVENTI
Over the course of my photography career, I've been fortunate to work with clients such as The New York Times, The Guardian, and Australian Geographic. My work has also been exhibited in solo exhibitions internationally, including at Head On Photo Festival in Sydney and Photoville in New York.
Like many photographers, my journey has been a mix of self-teaching, formal education, YouTube tutorials and the guidance of generous mentors. But along the way, I realised the biggest breakthroughs didn't come from watching more videos….they always came from practising, sharing my work with others and receiving thoughtful feedback.
That's why I created this live workshop: to create a learning environment where you can build your skills and confidence through hands-on practice, personalised feedback and a supportive community.
what makes this course different?
2. PERSONAL, REAL-TIME FEEDBACK
Work with your own photographs, ask questions, and get real-time feedback throughout the course.
1. GUIDED LEARNING
With weekly live sessions, you'll stay motivated and make steady progress instead of getting stuck in endless YouTube tutorials or trying to figure out everything on your own.
3. LEARN A REPEATABLE WORKFLOW
This course doesn’t just talk about how to use individual tools. You’ll learn a professional workflow that helps you stay organised, consistent and efficient.
4. A SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY
Photography is more enjoyable (and you improve faster) when you learn alongside others who share your passion.
