Virtual Post-Processing Lesson
Post-Processing is a mandatory step in my workflow for creating images. Over the years, I've worked on developing my own personal style and workflow in post-processing. I will craft each session based on your experience and goals. Topics range from basic exposure and color toning to more advanced techniques like exposure blending and focus stacking multiple exposures.
Post-Processing is an important part to getting the most out of your images. In this lesson, I will set up a video call and walk through the steps to correctly process an image. Using both your images and mine for real-time examples, you will learn that post-processing is essential to getting the most value out of the carefully chosen pixels we create with each image.

FAQ
Here are a few common questions about private lessons. If you don’t see your question here, feel free to reach out.
Who are these lessons for?
These lessons are designed for beginners, intermediate shooters, and advanced photographers who want more intention and confidence in the field.
Do I need a “fancy” camera to book a lesson?
Not at all. A DSLR or mirrorless camera is great, but the most important thing is learning how to use what you already have.
What types of photography do you teach?
My focus is landscape and nature photography, with an emphasis on composition, light, and creating images that feel calm and intentional.
Where do lessons take place?
Lessons can be done locally in Central Florida, or travel-based depending on the location and what you want to learn.
Can I choose the location?
Yes. You can request a location, or I can recommend a spot based on the light, season, and the type of images you want to create.
What should I bring?
A camera, a charged battery, a memory card, water, and whatever lenses you currently use. A tripod is helpful if you have one, but not required.
What will we cover during the lesson?
We can cover camera settings, shooting in manual mode, composition, working with natural light, focus and sharpness, and how to slow down and “see” a scene more clearly. If you have specific areas you'd like to know more about, we can do that too. The benefit of private lessons is that it is totally customizable and up to you!
Do you offer editing lessons too?
Yes. I also offer post-processing lessons over Zoom, or similar video call applications, and many clients like combining an in-the-field sessions with an editing session afterward to review and receive feedback on the iamges taken.
What if the weather is bad?
Weather is part of photography, but safety comes first. If conditions don’t support the lesson, we can reschedule or adjust the plan. If it's light rain, I would recommend continuing the lesson and come prepared with a umbrella or camera cover.
Do you offer lessons for couples or small groups?
Yes, small group lessons may be available depending on the group size and what you want to work on.
What results can I expect after one lesson?
You should walk away with a better understanding of your camera, stronger decision-making in the field, and images you feel more confident about creating.
