UNLV Lightroom 2 Workshop - cancelled

Sorry to those who were hoping to sign up still. I’ll keep updates on here if there’s a future class announcement. In the meantime, please follow me on Twitter for more updates, events, and piping hot information. Or at least lukewarm, if I’m running behind.

Cheers,
Nate

Video: Vendor/Client Relationships

Special thanks to Ryan Weber from Radiant Photography for sharing this video developed by Scofield Editorial. It’s painfully relevant in 2009. I couldn’t have demonstrated this practice any better. It’s basically robbery, and it happens to creatives all the time.

UNLV Photoshop Workshop: Manufacturing Beauty

If you live in Vegas and you work with Adobe Photoshop, you should seriously consider sharpening your skills by enrolling in these (insanely affordable) courses at UNLV this summer. This installment is taught by a good friend of mine, Martin Lapid. He’s THE man when it comes to retouching women.

Photoshop CS3 Workshop: Manufacturing Beauty

Beauty is only pixel-deep in today’s world of post-production image manipulation. Sags, wrinkles, bulges, scars, tattoos, pimples and a number of other blemishes are disguised with a sweep of the artist’s digital brush. You will be guided step-by-step through a retouch of a typical model shot from a recent local advertising campaign and learn the secrets of the pros for taking off years, disguising body flaws, evening out skin tones, whitening teeth, and intensifying eye color.

UNLV Introduction to Adobe Lightroom Workshop

If you live in Vegas and you work with Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom, you should seriously consider sharpening your skills by enrolling in these (insanely affordable) courses at UNLV this summer. Your instructor will be Nate Ludens (yours truly). I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

INTRODUCTION TO ADOBE LIGHTROOM WORKSHOP

With today’s consumer-meets-professional photography trends, shooters can find themselves managing thousands of digital images. Working with large amounts of software might mean less time to spend on retouching. Not the case with Adobe Lightroom 2. This is used as a helper application alongside Adobe Photoshop, but stands strong as a single application (Mac or PC). Learn to cross from print to web and export top quality images by the dozen with this introductory to Adobe Lightroom.
