Let's work together on raising your post-processing skills!

Where the original capture looks dark and flat… with a bit of strong-arming (hint: all 5 curves, as well as pushing many of the sliders to 11) we get the desired, psychedelic result!
While waiting for the safety of real-world photo shoots to return, why not raise your post-processing game! We can meet online, using Team Viewer to share your screen, and help you with your own images and particular challenges! Contact me by email!

We're still limited on how and where we can shoot - but you can work on your post-processing skills online, with me, privately - email me at [email protected]!

Here’s an image from a recent shoot with dancer, front-lit with a video projector, against a large silk, backlit with strobes.

After doing all your pushups and planks (and finishing every episode of every show ever streamed) are you interested in learning some more post-processing, with George right by your side?

Using the TeamViewer app, it's possible for George to actually move your Lightroom sliders remotely, while explaining how/why it works - you'd be sharing your own computer screen - and can take turns working on your own images and improving your skills!

Just like having George visit your home (but without all his coughing). Any day, any time, when you have a few hours free - and can concentrate! You can focus on mastering Lightroom, or Photoshop, or the organization and archiving of your images!

Just shoot George an email or call him! Visit his site www.georgesimian.com

New decade, new direction! The original mission of LADIG, to inform and instruct on post-processing, focusing on Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, is still alive and well! However, our format is changing from one of public meetups, with a guest speaker, to a smaller but more focused approach: hands-on classes, run in two-meetings-a-month structure, for a fee of $49 for each meeting, limited to 6 participants. Each month the topic will change, from Lightroom to Photoshop. These classes are taught by George Simian, LADIG’s President - you can see a list of upcoming workshops that he teaches (many more focused on live photography and lighting) on his site, at https://www.georgesimian.com/upcoming-workshops
