Designing Digital E-Books in Lightroom Classic
Turn your favorite photographs into a polished digital photo book. In this live, online class you'll learn to plan, design, and produce a digital e-book using Adobe Lightroom Classic's Book module - no design experience required.
This class focuses on the skills that turn a folder of images into a finished book: storytelling, sequencing, layout, and design. You'll learn to organize your photos, build clean and effective pages, add text with purpose, and export a finished digital photobook ready for sharing or printing.
You'll walk away with a completed (or nearly completed) e-book and a repeatable workflow you can use on every future project.
Topics Include
• Plan a photo book with a clear theme and audience in mind
• Select and sequence images for strong visual flow
• Judge realistic image counts and effective pacing
• Design pages using Lightroom Classic's Book module
• Add titles, captions, and short text thoughtfully
• Export a digital photo book for screen view sharing or print
Students will follow along on their own computers with Lightroom Classic.

What People Are Saying About Michael
"He is excellent with adult learners — great deal of patience, humor, and kindness. I would love to take another class with him!"
"Michael is fantastic. So articulate, instructive, and patient!! We all were saying at the end of the class how amazing the afternoon had been!"
"I was blown away by the class!!! Much more then I expected it to be! I can’t wait to take more! I loved the way he explained things and the order he did stuff in made lots of sense. You can tell he is a seasoned teacher, and an experienced photographer who also loves it! Can’t wait to squeeze more of his classes into my schedule...."
“I thought the class was a good mix of class time with history, concepts, guidance, how-to-approach and then practice time on the streets of DC. Michael provided very good direction as well as hands-on tutoring in the field. Very happy with the class.”
“I wanted to write to say how much I enjoyed the class. My first experience going around with a photographer seeing what catches his eye and it was so great you were pointing out pictures I could get. So relaxing!”
“Michael's presentation was comprehensive and very instructive. He provided excellent suggestions for finding opportunities while in the field, including how to use background, shadows, gestures, etc.”
"This was a great class! I am a beginner and I never felt intimidated or overwhelmed. The class was a lot of fun and I feel like I learned so much. I’m looking forward to taking another one soon"
"Michael gave great advice and feedback on composition, framing, and focus. He did a great job of reinforcing the importance of slowing down to stop, think and re-think about everything in the frame or as he put it, the "what" and "why" for each frame."
