If you are interested in training in Lightroom, then Joe can help!

As one of Ireland's only Adobe Certified Experts in Lightroom, Joe brings his professional photographic skills and combines them with an in-depth knowledge of all versions of this superb photography tool, which he has used since it's first beta release.

Individual or group training in Lightroom is available - a half day session is normally charged at 300 euros, and can be conducted on either Mac or Windows computers, and shorter or longer duration sessions can be arranged at a typical hourly rate of €75.

To organise a session, for yourself or as a present, please contact Joe on 086 384 3670, or drop him an email at joe@houghtonphoto.com
