MARCO SERVENTI
Throughout my photography career, I’ve worked with clients including The New York Times, The Guardian, and The Wall Street Journal, as well as photographing events, weddings and portraits.
This has often meant dealing with hundreds, sometimes thousands, of images from a single assignment. I quickly learned that having an efficient system for organising, selecting and editing photographs is essential, especially when you need an entire body of work to feel cohesive and visually consistent.
In this workshop, I’ll show you how to build a Lightroom system that saves you time, keeps your photography practice organised, and helps you achieve a consistent look across your work.
what makes this course different?
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.
2. PERSONAL, REAL-TIME FEEDBACK
Work with your own photographs, ask questions, and get real-time feedback throughout the course.
3. LEARN A REPEATABLE WORKFLOW
This course doesn’t just talk about how to use individual tools. You’ll learn a professional system that helps you stay organised, consistent and efficient.
4. A SMALL, SUPPORTIVE GROUP
Photography is more enjoyable (and you improve faster) when you learn alongside others who share your passion.
