Advantages of booking a 1-to-1 online class

• Focus on exactly what you want to learn
  Training sessions are entirely customizable and can cover only the topics that you want to learn about.

  • Are you a beginner with Lightroom? Let’s learn the very basics.

  • Are you familiar with Lightroom and use it regularly? Let me show you tips and tricks to get the most out of your pictures.

  • Are you a pro at Lightroom? Let me show you my creative process and how I developed my style of editing.

• No distractions
  Group workshops are great, but there can be many distractions, as time has to be balanced for all of students taking part. In 1-to-1 training sessions there are no distractions and you have my entire attention.
