Academy LS 01: Academy Intro & Lightroom Workflow

Live Session

In this first Academy Livestream, I give a short tour of the Academy site and share some of the plans for the future. I then discuss my thought process and workflow in interpreting two images in Lightroom Classic including compositional and editing insights.

Below are the two images discussed in the livestream.

I made the image slightly warmer than what was shown in the livestream.
I added a slight vignette in the effects panel of LR for added depth.

Please share your questions, comments, or feedback below!

    Really appreciated the selective contrast adjustment with the tone curve tool.

    Excellent. A clear window into your thinking. I would like to make one suggestion. When you do “before” and “after” comparisons, the “before” shot appears on the screen for about one half second. Therefor it is hard to compare the two. Much better to put the “before” shot on the screen for two or three seconds before going to the “after” shot.
