Have you ever struggled with how to approach the post-processing of your automotive photographs after the shoot has wrapped? Whether you’re a beginner looking to improve your editing skills or a seasoned photographer hoping to refine your creative workflow, this class is the perfect opportunity to elevate your automotive imagery.

Join Greg Castell of Flat 6 Photowerks as he shares his professional approach to editing car photography. Greg will take you step-by-step through his own post-processing workflow using Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, demonstrating how to bring out the best in your shots while maintaining a natural, polished look.

Throughout the session, Greg will walk through multiple examples and compositions, showcasing techniques for correcting exposure, fine-tuning color balance, selectively masking, color grading, and more. You’ll see how subtle adjustments can dramatically change the impact and storytelling power of an image.

Attendees are encouraged to bring their own laptops and follow along in real-time as Greg works. By the end of the class, you’ll have a stronger grasp of how to create consistent, professional-quality edits that make your automotive photos truly stand out.

Come ready to learn, ask questions, and gain a new perspective on the art and craft of car photography!
