From: $499.99
Create your personalized Akademie session
Leica Akademie USA and Brad Husick are now offering one on one, bespoke Adobe Lightroom Zoom sessions for 2 hours based on your individual needs and interests. Sessions are available to be scheduled as 2-hour intensives, or two 1-hour sessions.
Brad recalls, “Ever since age 5 when my father brought me into his home darkroom and taught me the classic techniques, I have had a love of photography. My career building software companies (one of which was acquired by Adobe) allowed me to combine my interest in technology with my photographic art. I have taught for years, even fulfilling the wishes of three of my students to become professional photographers. These sessions are designed to bring participants of any skill level to the next level in their work with an attention to correct pacing, interaction and fun.
Reviews of Brad’s teaching:
“Brad is an extraordinary instructor he has immense patience and remarkable depth of experience. He has taken impossible projects and taught me how to turn them into gold. He has also expanded my understanding of the incredible options to take good shots into outstanding shots with simple tools and techniques in post processing that I never realized were available. Great experience that I plan to continue.”
The session will be tailored to your goals and interests around using Adobe Lightroom to manage, edit, and print your photos. Brad has extensive experience using Leica M, SL and compact cameras, and has been a professional photographer in the portrait and sports fields. Brad is VP and an “ask-the-expert” resource for LHSA – The International Leica Society.
