• Accelerate your editing workflow through a practical, one-day intensive experience guided by a professional nature photographer.

• Refine your ability to organize, edit, and enhance your images to achieve consistent, high-quality, professional results.

• Learn to bring out the true potential of your RAW files, enhancing color, contrast, detail, and mood with precision and intention.

• Develop a storytelling approach through editing, using light, color, and selective adjustments to guide emotion and narrative in every image.

• Practice with real examples and receive personalized feedback, ensuring that each technique becomes part of your day-to-day editing toolkit.

• Connect with fellow photographers in a collaborative, creative workspace, sharing ideas and insights that strengthen your artistic vision.

• Image Organization and Workflow Setup | Import a complete folder of RAW files, create a structured catalog, apply keywords, and use flags/star ratings to select your strongest images with a fast and efficient workflow.

• Fundamentals of Editing: Light, Color & Detail | Edit a single image from start to finish by adjusting exposure, white balance, contrast, texture, clarity, and color balance—aiming to achieve a clean, natural, high-impact result.

• Creative Editing with Masks and Local Adjustments | Use the Masking tools (Brush, Radial, Linear, Color/Edge selections) to highlight the subject, enhance depth, and guide visual storytelling through selective lighting and color adjustments.

• Color Grading for Mood and Atmosphere | Apply Color Grading to shape emotional tone, experimenting with warm/cool palettes, cinematic tones, and subtle shifts to enhance the narrative of the image.

• Consistency & Presets | Create your own preset based on your editing style, then apply it to a series of photos to practice batch editing and visual consistency across a photo collection.

• Exporting for Web, Social Media & Print | Export edited images in optimized formats (resolution, sharpening, color space) for different outputs such as Instagram, website galleries, or high-quality prints.

Editing & Post-Processing

• Laptop with Adobe Lightroom installed. A reliable laptop is essential for the hands-on editing sessions. Make sure you have the latest version of Lightroom Classic installed and fully functional before the workshop begins. This will be the core tool we’ll use to organize, edit, and export your images.

• External Hard Drive or SSD (optional but recommended). Useful for backing up your RAW files, managing large catalogs, and ensuring a fast, efficient editing workflow during the workshop.

• Power Adapter and Power Strip. Bring your charger and, if possible, a small power strip or multi-adapter. Coworking outlets can be limited, and we’ll be working for several hours.

• Mouse or Tablet (optional). A mouse or editing tablet (like a Wacom) can greatly improve precision and comfort during detailed editing work.

Photography Files

• RAW files from your own shoots. Bring a selection of images you want to edit—preferably RAW files from nature or wildlife photography. We’ll use your own work for practical exercises, ensuring that every lesson applies directly to your style and goals.

• Backup images on a USB or cloud storage. In case your primary storage fails or you want to practice multiple workflows.

Comfort & Workspace Essentials

• Notebook and Pen (optional). Useful for taking notes during technique explanations, shortcuts, or workflow strategies you want to remember.

• Headphones (optional). If you prefer focusing during editing exercises or revisiting video demonstrations provided later.

Even in the heart of the city, nature remains at the center of your creative process. This workshop brings the essence of the field into a focused, inspiring workspace where your images become the bridge between experience and expression. Here, editing is not just post-processing, it’s a quiet conversation with the moments you captured outdoors: the light, the textures, the colors, and the life behind every frame.

Throughout the day, you’ll be part of a small community of photographers who share the same passion for nature and storytelling. Ideas flow naturally, questions spark new perspectives, and each break becomes an opportunity to exchange experiences, inspiration, and creative energy.

Inside the coworking space, free from distractions and surrounded by a supportive environment, you’ll rediscover the joy of slowing down and refining your craft. Each exercise, each edit, and each conversation helps you reconnect with the reason you photograph in the first place: to observe, to feel, and to translate the rhythms of nature into visual narratives.

This workshop is more than a technical training, it’s an invitation to reconnect with your creative flow, to refine your artistic voice, and to celebrate the power of community in a space designed to help you grow, focus, and create with intention.
