What do you want to learn?

Training and helping people learn is my favorite thing to do. I have been a photography instructor at the Los Angeles Center of Photography for over 14 years and have been training and tutoring people, both in classes and one-to-one, in a number of software programs for over 25 years.

 I am an expert in Adobe Lightroom and Apple Photos, both excellent programs at helping users manage and work with their digital photo libraries. PhotoSweeper and Cisdem Duplicate Finder are two excellent apps for removing duplicates from your digital photo collection and I’ve created courses on both of them to you help you gain control of your duplicate photos.

Adobe Lightroom

Lightroom is a full featured program for pros and amateurs who want to effectively work with their photos and manage their collections. It has a Develop module for robust image processing and editing, and a Library module for keeping files organized and easy to find. Let me show you how to set up and organize your photo library and improve your image editing skills.

Apple Photos

Apple Photos is a great answer for managing and working with your family photo collection. And when properly linked to your iCloud account, it provides a seamless, maintenance free ecosystem that syncs up the libraries on your computers and mobile devices. Setting it up correctly is the key however. I can walk you through the settings and explain what they do and how they affect the way you will be working with and interacting with your Apple Photos library.

Duplicate Photo Removal

I have been assisting and showing people how to de-dupe their digital photo collections through one-to-one training as well as some online courses I’ve created. My courses take you through a step-by-step process of properly identifying and then removing unwanted duplicates, but If you need more personal assistance with the process, I am happy to help you.

I even ran my own photo agency where I managed and organized tens of thousands of digital images. If you have issues or questions
