Day One
We’ll meet at the hotel Friday morning for sunrise and start making images that we can edit later in the day. Following breakfast we’ll head back to the hotel to begin our first processing session.
Throughout the day, Tiffany will demonstrate her workflow, including image selection, foundational adjustments, working with layers and masks, and shaping light, color, and tone with greater intention. You’ll also begin applying these techniques to your own photographs with personal guidance and feedback.
Day Two
After another sunrise session, Saturday will be devoted to deeper, hands-on processing. Through live editing demonstrations and guided practice, we’ll explore more advanced Lightroom and Photoshop techniques.
We’ll also study your images as a body of work, identifying the visual strengths and recurring choices that can help you develop a more recognizable and consistent editing style. Throughout the day, you’ll receive thoughtful feedback as you work through several of your own photographs.
Day Three
We’ll meet before dawn on Sunday for a final sunrise photography session, giving you the opportunity to create a fresh image with the finished photograph already in mind.
After breakfast, we’ll return to the classroom to select and process images from the morning. Tiffany will guide you through the complete journey from capture to final edit, followed by a live review and group feedback session. The workshop will conclude around noon, leaving you with a stronger workflow, greater confidence, and a clearer understanding of how to bring your creative vision fully into the finished photograph.
