The Darkroom in Lightroom
Apply traditional darkroom thinking to achieve a consistent and repeatable process to realize your Black and White vision in Lightroom (or any photo editing software)
This seminar is for street or documentary photographers ready to submit their work for publication, preparing to enter competitions or creating a portfolio that reflects their creative vision.
Most photographers struggle in today's modern "darkroom." With so many digital tools at our disposal, it's easy to create and edit images in such a wide array of styles that our photographic vision becomes obscured. In this seminar, you'll learn how to make your final B&W version match your vision when you pressed the shutter.
In the process you will learn how to keep your B&W your work consistent - a key element in developing your personal style and earning recognition as an established street/documentary photographer.
If you're ready to create a serious body of work to display on social media accounts, your personal website, and to present to publishers, this seminar is for you.
Only Lightroom will be used during this session, but you can apply the principles to any other editing software.

Photojournalist, advertising and lifestyle photographer, documentary and street photographer
I've had a camera in my hands since I was 15-years-old and from the very beginning, my main desire was to photograph people. This led to a 20-year career as a photojournalist producing more than 10,000 published photos in print. Most recently I’ve been working as an advertising and lifestyle photographer for clients like Bose, Mizuno, and HBO, but my passion has always been for documentary and street photography.
I started shooting on the streets of Cincinnati in the mid-80s and then in Chicago in the late 80s. I founded and ran Street Photography Workshops from 2013-2015 holding workshops in cities like Chicago, Miami and New Orleans, and have been documenting Florida and its beaches since 1991. I’ve photographed three separate book projects about Florida, one is ready to be edited and two are ongoing.
