Lightroom is easy to use and has an efficient way to professionally process photos. It is also an archive system where you can organize the photos and find them quickly. In addition to editing the entire photo, you can also easily adjust the photo locally in the software. The combination of Panoramas and HDR is childishly simple and of very high quality in Lightroom.

In the free Lightroom App you will learn the basic possibilities of the software. If you subscribe to Lightroom CC or CC Classic you have more extensive options. Lightroom CC is a limited version of the software. Lightroom CC Classic is the extensive version of the software that all professionals use. You do not have to work with Adobe's cloud. Photos can also only be on your computer.

If you've never worked with Lightroom before, I'll quickly learn how the software works in 6 hours. For example 2x3 hours or 3x2 hours, at your home or with me in the studio. More experienced users learn the latest intricacies of the software within 1 to 2 hours.

Lightroom is a fast and effective way to edit photos. You can quickly copy an edit from one photo onto a group of other photos. It is quick and easy to implement.

Make your photos better with Lightroom. It is easier than you think.

If you want to merge parts from different photos into an image, you go to Photoshop from Lightroom. This software requires more insight and time for processing photos. Of course I also teach.

In this class you will learn how to edit your pictures and turn them into professional work that you can hang on your walls.

You will learn how to remove tinted colours, how to retouch, how to adjust shadows and highlights, how to use masking for improving light and colour and how to adjust the right position for your photo.

Adobe Photoshop has proved to be a powerful tool for creating content either for personal or professional goals. Thus, it is mandatory that we know how to do basic alterations to our photos that can attract interest.

ABOUT THE TEACHER

Martin is a professional photographer and photojournalist. Through his numerous personal projects, he is particularly interested in youth and geo-environmental issues. The 21st century and the upheavals that accompany it particularly fascinate him.

During 2017 and 2018, he carried out numerous projects in South-East Asia where he was able to work for seven months. The most important of these is entitled The Faces of the Mekong. Using the mythical Mekong River and its resources as a common thread, it provides a broad perspective on the geo-environmental issues related to development in the Indochinese peninsula (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand).
He has also focused on Vietnamese and Laotian youth through the prism of street sports and urban culture.

In 2019, he travelled to Hong Kong to cover, among other things, the uprising of the pro-democracy movement, which earned him a nomination for the Bayeux Prize for War Correspondents in the Young Reporter category.

In parallel to his projects, Martin also responds to commissions from the press, NGOs and private companies.

His work is regularly published in the French and international press (Le Monde, Libération, The Washington Post, Le Figaro, Vice, Reporterre, Mr Mondialisation, Fisheye Magazine).
They have been awarded several times, including the François Chalais Young Reporter of the Year Award 2015 in the photo category. He was a finalist for the Grand Prix Paris Match du Photoreporter étudiant and a winner of the Young Talents Photo Prize by fotofever.
These projects also lead to exhibitions and conferences.

PRACTICAL OUTING

For a more concrete and playful practice of photography, this outing will allow us to work on different aspects of photography:
- Mastering your camera, whatever it is. If you practice photography with your smartphone, you are also welcome.
- Work on framing and composition.
- Using light as raw material
- Learning about street photography.
- Post-production of photographs on Lightroom (only on request).

IN-DEPTH TRAINING

The training consists in accompanying you in the development of your photographic projects and in the setting up of your activity of photographer. This training concerns photography as I practice it. That is to say, photography that speaks of the world in which we live and which, at the same time, is creative with a real aesthetic research. In other words, we are halfway between photo reportage, documentary photography and artistic photography.
This programme is tailored to each student and is divided into two main parts

1) The creative process :
- Developing personal photographic writing
- Preparing and carrying out projects
- Assimilate the photographic narrative and the codes of photoreportage
- Knowing how to be a versatile photographer to diversify your sources of income
- Responding to a photographic commission

2) An activity that is a source of income in the long term:
- Communicate well with the right tools
- Finding funding for your projects
- Sell your projects and photographs through various channels
- Mastering productivity techniques to be efficient while remaining independent
- Find clients and trigger concrete orders
- Multiply your sources of income

With this training, I will be at your side to accompany you in the different stages of this process. Together we will set your concrete short and long term goals and we will work day by day on the best method to reach them.
In concrete terms, the training consists of working meetings by video conference or in person.

This training does not require a particular age or level of education. Nevertheless, certain prerequisites are necessary such as a good general culture (to understand the world in which we live), a certain maturity as well as a basic technical mastery of photography.
