I add on this lightroom workshop to the end of my photography trips for guests who were on the tour to spend focused time reviewing and editing the images they just spent several days capturing. You don't have to be part of a tour to do the lightroom workshop. These are open to the public as well.
If you'd like to schedule your own private workshop with a group of friends, just send me a message. I can do custom dates anywhere in the US.
