Laura Shoe's Lightroom Classic and Cloud-Based Lightroom Tutorials and Training

On Sabbatical

October 2021: After 15+ years of keeping up with, teaching and reporting on Lightroom, I am taking a sabbatical until sometime next year. I will though continue to offer one-on-one online sessions, so if you need assistance cleaning up Lightroom or with anything else Lightroom related, do get in touch after reading about my sessions at this link. Otherwise, don’t let my sabbatical stop you from enjoying all the tutorials on my blog or purchasing and enjoying my video series for Lightroom Classic (and the old Lightroom 6 and 5). (I did sneak back in and make a video tutorial on Lightroom Classic 11 Masking – it’s in my Lightroom Fundamentals & Beyond series.)

Thank you to Lightroom users around the world for donating during my 2020 COVID relief fundraiser – together we raised $13,037! The fundraiser has now ended, but you can still watch the recording from the associated 75-minute “Lightroom Classic and Lightroom 6 Hidden Gems” webinar.

What My Customers Say

I have many, many books on Lightroom — too many to read them all. However, I have found that Laura’s videos are far easier to comprehend and the quality of the videos is unequaled. She is definitely a cut above.– Richard Dunn

What a great discovery Laura has been, with no nonsense tutorials and very clear to understand step-by-step instructions. I really thought I knew Lightroom but was really just skimming the surface. Other instructors I have tried usually just say “do this”, Laura firmly sits in the “why you should” bracket. Please support this top class instructor and you will not be sorry. In fact like myself you will be very delighted that you did.– Graeme Broadhurst (United Kingdom, camera club member)

Lightroom Training Video Review - Graeme

Laura’s training is always clear and to the point. She seems to anticipate my questions before they even form in my mind. I highly recommend Laura’s training to beginners as well as advanced users. She knows her stuff!

– LM Greene (Computer Consultant/Photo Enthusiast, Connecticut)

I tried using Lightroom for a number of years and always gave up right away - there are so many subtle issues with the interface, and it's not always clear what's going on. I purchased your Lightroom Fundamentals and Beyond video series and I am so glad that I did. Your clear, detailed explanations are so helpful and have given me the understanding I was missing by trying to figure it out on my own. Thank you so much!
