OH YES. THIS IS WHAT YOUR EDITING HAS BEEN WAITING FOR.

Uncover the dark arts of editing to make your images pop, save time and have more impact than ever before.

What if we told you that you could learn every single editing trick in the book?

What if your images could hit pro levels of sharpness, impact and colour?

And what if we said you could accelerate your editing journey in just 5 days with two pro aviation photographers (Rich Cooper and Tom Dalt) showing you the way?

THIS POWERFUL LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP STARTING DECEMBER 6TH WILL FIRE UP YOUR EDITING ENGINES AHEAD OF THE RELEASE OF THE WORLD’S MOST COMPREHENSIVE AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHY EDITING MASTERCLASS.

We get it...
Over 70% of aviation photographers face workflow and editing headaches when it comes to processing their images and feel like they struggle to stand out as a photographer.

The 7 main problems are…

• Images not standing out

• Shots lacking impact, scrolling on by

• Disappointment in results

• Colours looking flat

• No relevant tutorials

• Lightroom looks complex

• Unsure how to develop your own style

We'RE NOT YOUR AVERAGE INSTRUCTORS...

"The best thing to have come out of the pandemic."

The Free 5-Day Aviation Photography Lightroom Workshop starting December 6th is exactly what you've been waiting for. There's even an awesome optional VIP upgrade available for you to really maximise your learning during this transformational experience.

Let's talk about your aviation images...

We see too many aviation photographers disappointed by their results and feeling unsure how to get the best out of their shots…

Some are not seeing the images match their passion and investment in this most excellent pursuit of aviation, whilst others are stuck in a creative rut…

Aviation photographers need a way to conquer Adobe Lightroom and unleash their editing talent in a way that’s easily understandable, tailored to aviation, in the right language, delivered by experts and achievable at a pace that suits their time and workload.

It all starts here.

IMAGINE what you could achieve by unlocking the full potential of lightroom so that you could...

Develop your own style and create stunning works of art that you are proud to share...

Transform lifeless average shots into powerful stand-out photographs...

Understand how to use light and colour to invoke emotion and captivate your audience...

Turn standard spotting style shots into striking scroll-stoppers...

Know how and when to use different editing styles to enhance your images...

Have an editing workflow that works for any aviation photography genre...

Produce punch-perfect true-to-life natural edits...

Imagine going on your next shoot with the confidence that you’re going to be able to edit your images to the next level…

No longer being disappointed with your results, with your creativity and style unlocked to develop your aviation photography using exactly the same methods as used by Rich Cooper and Tom Dalt in their combined 40-year pro aviation photography career.

It’s finally time to learn how to do all of this, and more. The free 5 day workshop starting December 6th is a one-of-a-kind opportunity that will deliver 5 days of live training allowing you to save time, have more fun and let your photography soar higher than ever.

HERE's WHAT SOME OF THE 1000+ AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHERS SAID ABOUT OUR LAST WORKSHOP...

OUR FREE WORKSHOPS ALWAYS PROVIDE AN EXCEPTIONAL LEARNING EXPERIENCE...

“I've been taught so much this week and all without costing a penny. Thank you so much guys for doing this and to the wider community for sharing their images and supporting each other. I know it's just the tip of the iceberg… So looking forward to taking my photography to the next level and beyond!”

- SH

"I learned so much this week. It was great to interact with all the members here, and to get their feedback and help with what I learned"

- SF

“Throughout my time here I can see through my work that there has been several improvements and positive changes in my work. I’ve learned to see my surrounding and shots in new creative ways and use my gear and environment to my advantage in order to get the perfect shots. By challenging myself I was able to expand editing capabilities, find new ways to make a shot even better and be able to find new ideas.”

- ST

“Tom & Rich I'd just like to say how much I've enjoyed your banter and enthusiasm this week. Coming up to the ripe old old of 70 it's very good to see such camaraderie that has built up over the week”

- KB

“So, am I grateful for this class? Let's put it this way - this, up til now, my aviation photography results were a constant disappointment for me. Now I can’t stop looking at my own shots! Thanks Tom and Rich, for your time and efforts”

- SB

“What I have learnt these past five days has been invaluable”

- AF

“Thank you both for reigniting a fire in me and for sharing your tips and skills with all of us. You have encouraged me to delve back through my 120,000 image Lightroom catalog in search of previously discarded images that may possibly see a new lease on life”

- DK

“The overriding feeling I have is that everyone in the group genuinely wants to learn, wants to share and to improve their aviation photography skills, whether they are a rookie or at pro level. Thank you Rich & Tom and all the mentors that worked on this challenge, a brilliant job”

- DB

“After these sessions I've learnt plenty of helpful tips and tricks and certainly pushed myself to make edits I wouldn't normally think of. A few days ago I saw a photo that had been turned from what I would throw away to one I'd love to have in my collection, so one of the main lessons for me is never too underestimate what the camera has caught”

- HW
