Photoshop and Lightroom for photographers and graphic designers.

From 38.32 C$ /h

Photoshop and Lightroom are two image editing applications developed by Adobe. Although they share some characteristics and functions, they have different approaches and purposes.

Lightroom focuses on workflow and image management, especially for photographers. It allows you to import, organize, classify and edit large amounts of photos efficiently. Among the Lightroom editing tools we can find; exposure correction, white balance, cropping and focus. In addition, it offers options to apply adjustments in batches, which makes it easy to edit multiple images at the same time.

For its part, Photoshop is an image editing software widely used in graphic design, photography and other creative disciplines. It offers a wide range of advanced tools and features for manipulating, retouching, and compositing images. You can make fine adjustments to colors, contrasts, brightness, apply filters and special effects, remove blemishes, and much more. Photoshop is a powerful and versatile tool that allows you to make detailed and complex edits to images.

Both applications have significant advantages. Photoshop is known for its detailed editing capabilities and extensive set of creative tools. It is ideal for precise image retouching, complex manipulations, and the creation of custom graphic designs. Lightroom, for its part, is especially useful for photographers, as it provides a streamlined workflow and specific tools to enhance and organize large collections of photos.

Taking a course on Photoshop and Lightroom can be beneficial for several reasons:

You will learn to use advanced tools and editing techniques that will allow you to improve your creative skills and express yourself visually more effectively.

You will be able to optimize your workflow and manage your images more efficiently, which is especially important if you work with large volumes of photos.

You will gain practical knowledge on specific adjustments and corrections to improve the quality of your images, allowing you to obtain more professional results.

You will be up to date with the latest updates and features of these apps, giving you a competitive edge and keeping you up to date in the world of image editing.

In summary, taking a course on Photoshop and Lightroom will give you skills and knowledge that will allow you to boost your creativity, improve the quality of your images and optimize your workflow. These skills are valuable to both creative professionals and photo enthusiasts who want to take their images to the next level.

Extra information

About Me

Settled between Spain, Italy and Russia, he developed different photographic essays (from
journalistic character and also conceptual style) and I usually publish them
in some magazines like; National Geographic, Geo, The Sunday Times,
Stern, Der Spiegel, Vanity Fair, British Journal of Photography, L'Espresso, XL
Weekly, D-Repubblica, Paris Match, Sette, L'Internazionale, Corriere Della
Sera, Gentleman, Corriere dello Sport, Marca or El País, among others.

As a photographer I like to control the entire process, from the projection of my work, the capture of the images, and, of course, the editing work, which I consider one of the fundamental parts of the process, since it is during the editing when the photographer has just defined his identity.

For a year I have worked as a trainer for the Olympus house, teaching clients the in-depth operation of their Olympus reflex cameras. I have also worked for about a year and a half as a Printing Technician at the Goya printing house in Bilbao, which has helped me to better understand the needs in the image editing flow. In addition, during the last ten years I have trained different photographers both in editing work and in photographic retouching, in a photographic agency, in Italy (Massimo Sestini News Pictures).

I am very close in dealing with, I don't mind changing the pace of the class or adapting the resources to each specific case. For me, the most important thing is that the student leaves with the necessary knowledge to be able to enter the labor market.

Photography is essential in our day-to-day lives, especially given that we have a camera in our pockets at all times. From capturing significant events, photos of yourself, or even taking pictures of delicious coffees you order. It is essential nowadays that you can take clean, crisp images on your very own smartphone. I've created this course to help you create professional-looking photos, all taken and edited on your phones.

You'll learn how to take pictures at certain angles, the different modes you can use on your phone to take photos, the various kinds of photography you can achieve, and how to edit high-quality images, all with the default apps.

With each class, you get:
A copy of the presentation I presented to you, in case you wanted to look at it again on your own.
A Google Doc with even more information about the topic we discussed that day, in case you are curious about more details regarding the topic we discussed.
A video summary of the lesson, in case you need a refresher.

Hope to see a request from you soon :)

Hi !
it's a long time since I am working as a photographer, a bit more than 20 years and I really love my profession.
Photography is both a work and a passion.
I am doing fashion photography, portraits and still lifes. I enjoy the studio work.
I am also passionate about exterior photography, travel images, pictures done in nature.
I can teach you on an online class different photography subjects depending on your needs.
We could go through the very basics of photography, see how a digital or film camera works, the aperture, time, ISO speed subjects.
On an online class we could also do some more creative things like PORTRAIT techniques, or if you have FLASH lights and want to learn more we could go through it. We could also try Light Painting, with a long exposure using a torch light held by hands .

If you're already taking pictures, I'd be happy to see your work. In the last times I am personally trying to make my portfolios a bit differently than my habits. I am trying to mix them with descriptions of the images and I think people appreciate that. I'd be happy to share ideas and see what you are doing.
