Shajee's instruction is well done. I have viewed a lot of courses before this, but the level of detail that Shajee goes into makes it much easier to understand.

Does any of this sound like you?
Are your photos are missing the ‘wow’ factor?
You look at photos of other people and you just don’t get how to achieve that quality in your own photos. You put a lot of effort into taking great photos, but they somehow don’t have that finesse that you wish they had, and you just don’t know what to do to get it.
Do you wish your photos were more organized?
A folder here, a folder there, your photos are all over the place, and it’s now all a big mess. You started with your computer’s hard drive and now that it’s full, you’re wondering if you should get an external hard drive and use that for your photos. You wish you had a better system for organizing, finding and backing up your photos.
Does editing takes up all your time?
You end up spending most of your time in front of a computer editing photos, when you wish you could devote more of it to shooting photos, or just spend it with your family & friends. All you need is a faster way to edit your photos that doesn’t eat up all your time – without compromising on the quality, of course.
Lightroom simply not your friend?
You tried installing Lightroom but found it to be too complex. Catalogs, importing, exporting, keywords, collections, metadata and what not! There’s just so much in there that you don’t feel comfortable with it. You see all the pros recommending Lightroom, but you keep going back to using Picasa or Apple Photos, because you just can’t get a grip on Lightroom.
All this is making you lose your enthusiasm towards photography.
You’re worried that if you don’t figure out your editing process, your photos just won’t look the way you imagine. It’s discouraging, and it’s making you lose the motivation you had when you first started taking photography seriously.
To facilitate your learning, I invite you to check out The Complete Lightroom Course. I’ll be there every step of the way to make sure you get the amazing images you desire, have an effective post-processing workflow & don’t make the same mistakes I did, that caused tons of frustration for me.

I was totally oblivious to the importance of editing, had never done it before and it seemed very daunting, but the methods I learnt in this course made it all so easy! Particularly The 3Cs of Retouching. In a jiffy, you can make your photo from boring to marvelous with all the depth and detail. It's the go-to option for all my current work.

I used to be very confused about Lightroom but this course has helped me a lot. I wish I took this course a long time ago. I understand the how and why of editing much better now. The organization of my photos was a mess too, before now. In the past, I have paid a lot of money for books on Lightroom but I had no clue what they were talking about. This course is easy to follow and has been the best I've taken so far.

This course taught me all about the great features of Lightroom that I had no idea about. Before this course, my editing process was a mess. The showed me an extremely efficient system of photo organization which saves a huge amount of time when I have to look for old photos. Picking out favorites from a shoot of hundreds of photos is also now a very quick process with Lightroom.

Before this course, I was editing my photos using the filters we have in mobile photo editing apps. I had no idea that we can recover so much detail and colors from our photographs. Shajee's teaching style is highly engaging which makes it easier to learn.
