Whether you want to learn Lightroom 'from the top', or need advice on specific areas or problems, you've come to the right place.
I'm an Adobe Community Expert for all versions of Lightroom, and I've been helping people with it for almost a decade now - so there isn't much I haven't seen! Have a look at some of my reviews to see what I mean.
LIGHTROOM TUITION
I have clients all over the world - including the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia - so my sessions are run online via Zoom, with screen sharing. My rate is £50 an hour, with a minimum charge of one hour, and then 15 minute increments after that. If you're not based in the UK then I will send a PayPal invoice after the session so you can pay in your local currency.
How the session is structured will depend on what you need. If you're new to Lightroom then we can get everything set up and go through the basics - or if you've been using it for a while and have run into a few problems that need sorting out, then I can just dive in!
“I wanted to give Gill Prince a shout out for great personalized Lightroom instruction via Zoom. In the first session she had shown me 90% of what I needed to get started effectively with Lightroom, and most importantly showed me how to use it with my existing file structure. I make my money selling custom cabinetry not surfing YouTube for instructional videos, so having the personalized instruction is valuable to me. I have since had two other sessions with Gill and feel now confident to apply Lightroom in my business.”

What do we cover?
We can focus on specific problem areas that you may have, or we can work through the software 'from the top', depending on what you would prefer. If we're going through everything then I usually start with the 'workflow management' side of things, looking at how you manage your images on your own computer (PC or Mac), and then how to bring those into Lightroom in a structured manner, as well as talking about good back-up practises. From here we go through rating, filtering and culling, before moving onto the fun side - the actual image editing process.
This stage involves working on specific images of your own - covering everything from cropping and straightening, through exposure and colour balance, and finally more advanced tools such as masking, distraction removal and even pano and HDR merging if you like. But all planned around what you want to learn.
After the session, I will send you a full set of screen grabs with tailored notes, which go through everything we've discussed - so you don't have to remember it all at the time!
“I just wanted to thank you for the excellent Lightroom training and guidance you provided me with via Zoom. I found it extremely helpful, and the 'fog' that previously greeted me when I went into it has lifted 😊 I very much look forward to having a chance to start putting into practice what I have learnt over the weekend, and I will definitely want to do future sessions once I have got to grips with what I learnt this time.”

How does it work?
Once we have agreed a date and time, I will send you a Zoom invitation link - and then all you have to do it click the link to join the session. In advance of the session, you will need to download and install the Zoom app to the same computer that you are using for Lightroom - if you don't have it already.
