Fatrice Borden, Wildlife Photographer
For years, I struggled to find the right workflow for editing my wildlife photos—so much so that most of them never left my SD card or hard drive. This Lightroom course helped me finally move past that.
Vito didn’t start with Lightroom’s technical features. Instead, he walked me through his personal workflow and explained the reasoning behind each step, which brought much-needed clarity. One of the most helpful tips was learning how to use tools like Photo Mechanic to quickly sort through thousands of images and select just a few to bring into Lightroom for editing.
Once we transitioned to Lightroom, Vito first explained the overall layout, then walked me through the Develop module using a variety of photos I imported—portraits, landscapes, and wildlife—to demonstrate how different editing approaches apply to each type.
Finally, he shared his system for archiving and backing up photos, which was key to building a sustainable and efficient workflow that works for me.
Vito is a fantastic instructor. His best advice? Edit one photo a day to reinforce what you’ve learned. Highly recommend!
