Our speaker on Tuesday, January 12 will be Eliot Cohen who will be happy to help everyone with their questions about working in Lightroom’s Library,Develop and Print modules. Eliot is one of the areas best-known photographers and educators. Many of our members have studied with him, traveled with him and participated in his critique groups.

Early in his career Eliot led the Photography program at Northern Virginia Community College into the digital era. He was honored with the college’s highest award for his teaching excellence.  Eliot was also an adjunct professor at the Corcoran College of Art where he helped to raise awareness of digital capture and editing.

Eliot travels extensively in the US and internationally. His photography is centered on the beautiful and dramatic landscape environments he encounters. You can see examples of his work in the galleries on his website http://www.eliotcohen.com. His workshopsare very popular and completely full for next year. Locations include Patagonia, Iceland, Greenland, the Dolomites and Venice among others.Information can be found in the workshops pages.

Eliot works individually with those who want instruction tailored to their needs, as well as through his class organization Washington Photo Focus. For those who are new to Lightroom, or who wish to learn it in an organized manner, he will teach classes on January 23 and Feb 20. You can find the class description here.

For our conversation, please submit your questions to education@nvps.org by January 8. Eliot will be happy to respond to them. For the sake of the group it would be best if the questions are general in nature. For our conversation, Eliot won’t be able to look at individual drives or computers. That can be arranged separately with him.
