Mastering Adobe Lightroom - Scene House Sydney (NSW)

Join Jay @ Scene House Sydney, proudly presented in partnership with EP Group, Sony Australia and digiDirect.

Learn how to build a stronger, faster and more consistent editing workflow in this small-group practical session exploring Adobe Lightroom Classic, Adobe Lightroom and mobile editing tools for modern photography workflows.

Designed as an intimate workshop limited to just six participants, this session allows time for deeper discussion, direct guidance and practical explanation around how to organise, edit, export and publish your images with greater confidence.

Led by Sony Digital Imaging Advocate Jay Evans, the workshop draws on real working methods used across street photography, landscape work, candid portraiture and travel imagery, with particular attention given to how Sony files respond to editing and how to get the most from Sony colour, dynamic range and mobile connectivity.

Participants will also explore fast, practical workflows using Adobe Lightroom Mobile together with the Sony Creators’ App, allowing for efficient on-location editing and immediate image preparation when working in the field.

Because of the small group format, there is also space to raise individual workflow questions, examine editing challenges, and receive practical tips tailored to your own photography.

This event forms part of the Scene House Sydney event series, with practical examples drawn from both field-based and everyday photography.
