“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” – Lao Tzu

You’ve got the nice camera. You want to shoot raw files. You’ve heard Adobe Lightroom® is your next step. The trouble is Lightroom can be rather daunting at the outset. Let me help you through this first step with my one-on-one session. Through years of teaching photography software, both individually and in groups, I have learned that focus and attention to the process are the keys to understanding image editing. In this regard, individual sessions are far more effective and efficient. Bring your laptop, an installed copy of Lightroom Classic and a portable hard drive, and start your journey with my easy-to-use system. Come away with your computer ready to go and my easy-to-follow set of instructions to keep you on track. This session is for people who have not yet started Lightroom but want to do so. I help you set up your catalog from scratch and set you on the path forward with photography.

Lightroom Rescue & Recover

This service is an in depth fix, we examine the LR install and file details, root out the troublemakers and set a new course in a clean environment. You have installed Lightroom on your own, and hit the wall of overwhelm…now you are limping along in Lightroom? Is your image archive on life support? Do you have Multiple Catalog Syndrome, (i.e.: catalogs you can’t tell apart or even locate?) Perhaps you have tried to import your valuable photos but they’re missing or somewhere in hard drive hospice. Sound familiar? I can help you make things right and organized. Lightroom Emergency Room visits are available by appointment at PhotoTrainer World Headquarters in Mountain View, CA. Sign up below for an appointment. The Lightroom doc also does house calls.

2.5-hour one-on-one session $350. 

About Tom

Tom Upton is one of the Bay area’s top photographer trainers. He believes third-person bios are beyond lame. So I shitcanned my AI writing bots. 😬

I am committed to enabling students find their own visions through the lens. My from-the-hip teaching style is hands-on, nutty and laser focused on building confidence with today’s bonkers camera technology. I have read all the manuals so you do not have to. Whether you’re looking to dive into photography for the first time or advance your skills, my classes offer a fresh take on a time-worn and burnished craft –a supportive environment for growth you will not forget (like those exhausting online videos you never finish.) There.
