LIGHTROOM MAGIC MASTERCLASS

DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU:

"How can I learn to edit my images like a rockstar and take my work to the next level? I want to create perfect pics now! I just don't know where to start."

"My colours never stand out. I want them to be awe inspiring, not boring. I crave for my dishes to look delicious and rich in colour. I'm always so disappointed when I spend all that time and my food comes out dull or the incorrect colour."

"I can't get away from the dull factor. I want my work to be gutsy, I want to create striking images that have contrast and pop. I dream of being able to tackle flat light when it comes to editing. Don't even get me started on my moody images. They're always just underexposed and lack that special something."

"I envision bright and airy images that scream ‘WOW’. I just don’t know what I am missing, or how I can make an image stand out. I'm not able to get the white balance that I envision and I spend hours trying to correct it only to make it worse."

"I want to be empowered to know what little tweaks make a powerful image, and the time I spend editing isn't just going to result in a dull image. I want to feel confident to get more higher-end clients or the right kind of traffic to my blog."

And maybe you’re thinking: holy crap, how long will it take to get really good at this?

I’ve been there.

I get that you’re ready to improve your photography and styling skills BIG time.

IMAGINE IF YOU COULD:


Come out the other side with some major editing wizardry in your toolkit, my friend.

(Which is the golden ticket to world-class photos by the way.)

These are the kinds of brilliant skills you can show off to the hot new clients that’ll come running through your door when they see the wicked portfolio you’re about to create:

Dramatically increase your editing wizardry in just 30 days. You'll have the ability to powerfully understand elements and definitions in photography so you get the 'whys' and can apply the 'hows'.

Feel confident in choosing a unique workflow that matches your editing vision for your final image. Knowing your editing style will be immediately recognised by your fellow creatives.

The skills to create stunning imagery that will make your portfolio stand out like a show-stopping, Nigella Lawson-worthy dessert. With the knowledge to understand that there is more than one way to get a desired outcome.

FIND true joy in editing (I know it sounds dorky but editing is the bomb!)

PLUS...

The opportunity to get a FULL behind the scenes look at how I edit my images including the entire editing process that has allowed my work to be featured in coveted publications about the world.

That’s why I created Lightroom Magic.

Because I truly want creative rockstars like you to be empowered with knowledge and real life skills so you can start creating those amazing photos you’ve been dreaming of right now.

Because when you understand what Ansel Adams says, that you make a photo (not just take it), you can unlock your incredible potential to create beautiful, ‘swooney’, magazine-worthy photos every time.

Photography is more than just what you see in the frame. You’d never serve just the cake batter. You’d ice that bad boy, dress it up, make it jaw dropping.

So why not give your RAW files the love and power they deserve?

You’ve got to make the image.

‘Making’ an image involves quality editing to create your ultimate vision.

It allows you to add your own personal stamp, your unique style, your special sauce.

What students are saying

Maybe you wanna tip that burning passion of yours into well paid freelance work and learn the real secrets to help you stand out from the plate-snapping crowd.

AND to really make them sparkle, you need to learn how each adjustment panel and tool plays to the strength of food.

You need to immerse yourself in food imagery (like, bury yourself in lovely food pics until you can’t tell a sticky rice noodle from a curly fettuccine strand).

The secrets, tools and know-how that’s allowed me to work with inspiring clients from around the globe.

Lightroom Magic is here to give you a back stage pass into exactly how I edit my images and to create the pictures that have been featured in prestigious publications all around the globe. The ones that allowed me to leave my 9-5 job to pursue this burning passion of mine.

It's your opportunity to learn what makes a great image and understand how to create a unique workflow for your style of photography. You'll also gain skills in crafting presets.

Become empowered to know the REAL concept of contrast, both tonal and colour. Learn how the combination of warm and cool colours can transform an image. Plus, my signature Tone Curve that takes my images up a notch.

TOTAL CONTROL: EXPOSURE

Wave goodbye to 'flat' and 'dull'. Know how to make powerful adjustments to exposure for a more dynamic image. Explore the KEY concept of luminance and why it's your secret weapon in food photography.

COLOUR ENHANCEMENT

Learn not only how to colour correct your images, but to ENHANCE them with the HSL Panel. But we go beyond that to uncover the 8 ways to tackle colour in your images that will allow you to create a unique workflow.

POWERFUL WHITE BALANCE

No more struggling with white balance. Throughout the course you'll learn new ways to think about white balance and all the ways to tackle your white balance frustrations. Both locally and globally.

SO - here’s the lowdown on what you'll learn in each of the 5 modules:

FOUNDATIONS FOR POWERFUL EDITING

Learn why post processing is so important, the real power of RAW files and how to get truly savvy with your Histograms. We'll also take a peek at the common trends in my Histograms. You'll also get super familiar with definitions that'll exponentially improve your photography.

MASTERING GLOBAL ADJUSTMENTS

Discover the power of each global adjustment tool, why they provide a solid foundation on which great images are built and how to truly harness them in your food photography.

ENHANCE WITH LOCAL ADJUSTMENTS

Uncover the amazing potential of your image with targeted adjustments, which allow you to have full control over your editing vision for your image. The key in food photography is the 'little details'. You'll learn my layered approach to produce that 'WOW' factor.

CORE EDITING CONCEPTS IN FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY

Become empowered with what makes a GREAT image, and all the ways you can add that WOW factor to your image by focusing on exposure, colour and contrast concepts. I'll also take you through step-by-step to find your own magic: your unique workflow.

UNCOVERING MY EDITING PROCESS

Take a journey with me to uncover how I approach editing, (for both bright and moody images). I'll take you through my process start to finish, as well as give you access to recreating my steps with a RAW file. We'll then learn how to craft presets and re-create a vintage/film look.
