Introduction to Digital Photography and Adobe Lightroom Classic

Designed for beginners, this online workshop with photographer and educator Will Van Beckum provides a structured, accessible path into digital photography. Whether photography is a new hobby or something you’re curious to explore more seriously, this course helps you get comfortable with your camera and Adobe Lightroom Classic as you start making great images.

This six-week program offers a well-rounded introduction to both the technical and creative foundations of digital photography. You learn how to take control of your camera, apply core creative principles, and use Adobe Lightroom Classic for editing and workflow. By the end, you’re equipped with the skills to keep creating visually compelling images on your own.

Each week builds on the last, introducing new camera techniques, creative concepts, and Lightroom tools. As the course progresses, you build confidence, make meaningful images, and learn how to edit and export them for both print and digital display. Live Zoom sessions with Will and fellow participants include guided lectures, image reviews, and open Q&A. Each session also features a photo assignment that helps you apply what you learn that week.

Starting with a digital camera can feel overwhelming, but this workshop breaks everything down into manageable, enjoyable steps, making it easy to grow as a photographer while having fun along the way.
