Course Description

So much of learning photography happens through lessons in the field with our camera in hand. Settings, techniques, and gear—they are all important. But what happens once you return home? What is the next step after you take your SD card out of your camera? Having a comprehensive workflow in place for when you begin the organizing and editing process can be a game-changer both in the moment and for your long-term projects.

In this six-session online workshop with Dylan McMains, we cover every single step of the digital photographic process, from taking the SD card out of the camera to sharing completed photos online or in person. We talk about different storage device options (and which are best), how to effectively and efficiently import your photos and organize them, and how to navigate Adobe Bridge, Lightroom, and Photoshop. We also discuss comprehensive editing techniques for various kinds of photos, including landscapes, portraits, astrophotography, concerts, and sports. Finally, we explore how to prep and export files for various mediums like web, social media, and print.

At the end of this course, you walk away with a start-to-finish digital workflow and can expect to feel comfortable in every aspect of post-processing. You have the knowledge to create a robust and reliable file storage and organization system, are equipped to navigate powerful editing applications and feel confident in knowing you are sharing the highest quality versions of your photos that you can.

about
Dylan Perrow

Dylan Perrow has been a professional photographer for over 10 years, born and raised in the land of enchantment. After graduating from high school and spending two years in college pursuing various intense STEM degrees, Dylan realized that the life of a creative and a teacher is what would suit his soul best. 

During the pandemic, he used his free time to explore the landscapes that excited him most, and discovered how fulfilling his passion for photography truly was. Since then, Dylan has been actively pursuing his dream to be a full-time photography instructor, going wherever the wind takes him. 

In 2021, he moved to Seattle, Washington where he was a brand ambassador for Sony’s digital imaging division, and where he got to lead his very first workshop teaching Milky Way astrophotography at the stunning Mount Rainier. Dylan moved back to his hometown of Albuquerque, New Mexico at the end of 2022, where he currently resides and continues to follow his passion.
