We are very excited to announce our second course, Level 1: Workflow and Post-Processing, which we have been working on for the past few months. We are currently in the process of adding some more bonus material and putting some finishing touches to the videos, which we are planning to release early next week. For now, I would like to present the trailer of the upcoming course, so that our readers could get a chance to see what we have in the course and what one can expect from it. This course completes our Level 1 basics courses, which means that from here on, we will be able to move up in content and complexity – we are already planning to start filming a Level 3 course on landscape photography later this summer, with the scheduled release of Q4 of 2016. It is truly exciting and rewarding to be working on these courses, because we are creating a strong foundation which we can build on in the future.
Here is a video that explains the upcoming course in detail and what is covered:

As you can see, this is one massive course – over 13 hours of video. We followed this course in the workflow format – from the moment you insert your card into your computer, all the way to exporting. Since both John and I use Lightroom heavily, we put a heavy emphasis on it in the course and shot over 6 hours of Lightroom content alone. Considering that we go into detail about every sub-module and each slider in the Develop module, we are proud to say that this is probably one of the most in-depth Lightroom tutorials out there. We don’t just show you how to edit images – we even go into more advanced Lightroom content, such as file and catalog management.
The beauty of the course is that it is not just aimed towards beginners – there is solid content for even more advanced photographers, who want to explore post-processing in more detail. In the case study section of the course, both John and I show you our day-to-day workflows and how we edit images.
We will be posting a lot more information about this course when it is ready for purchase. If you are wondering about pricing, we will be offering the course at a discounted rate of $ 129 at launch (regular price $ 149).
