About the event:

Edit With Joe Houghton!
Step into the world of professional photo editing with our latest LEARN series, Edit With Joe. This is a super opportunity for you to share the editing process with an expert and explore a wide range of photography genres. We're hoping this will enable as many people as possible to try something new.
Each session, participants will have the opportunity to share both their RAW and edited files from a particular genre (or interpretation of). Joe will pick from the files which have been shared and also edit the same RAW files, before then looking at how this compares/contrasts with the original photographer.
As usual, Joe will demonstrate a range of processing techniques across a variety of packages and will branch out into other apps as well so it's not just Lightroom - we might also end up in Photoshop, Topaz, Nik or Affinity depending on the images.
Throughout all of this, Joe will explain his thinking and thoughts, along with taking live questions. A typical example of Joe's relaxed style of workshop is available to watch for free at the bottom of this page.
Due to the large number of people who engage with our workshops - we can't guarantee that all shared images will be edited.
We think this will be a really fun way of engaging with a range of genres, gaining new editing skills and techniques which we can then apply to our own processing.
