"My name is John R., and I specialize in high-end Portrait and Lifestyle Retouching. For more than 25 years, I’ve been working in the printing, photography, retouching, marketing, and graphic design fields. So if you have questions on Lightroom or Photoshop, then I have all the answers.

However, I have a Lightroom Course that is really more about giving you a workflow that will provide fast, consistent and repeatable results. I have developed a course for Lightroom that will help get you over the starting hump, and get you well on your way to Photography success. The co" less...
