Lightroom workflow course box7 Steps To Workflow Mastery - included free

Learn how to utilise the powerful tools in Lightroom's library module and get it to do a lot work for you, which will get you organised, save you frustration and create more time for the sexy business of making your photos sing.

What will I learn?

You'll navigate Lightroom's library and develop interfaces, know where and when to use it's powerful, time saving tools. The Library offers essential tools for workflow and file management, ensuring you can locate any image - even from a decade ago. Additionally, Lightroom can automate tasks during import.

Learn to align with Lightroom's logic and maximise its potential, visualising and communicating your image's intent. Instead of haphazardly adjusting sliders, you'll master a subtle, natural touch, avoiding that 'over-processed' look.

Post-production isn't for fixing errors - it's for realising your vision.

7 Steps To Workflow Mastery

Have you got loads of 'Missing Images', Catalogs all over the place not knowing which image is in where, trawling through date named folders trying to remember when you took a particular image? Is Lightroom's import library generally confusing? 7STWM is a step by step guide to getting the mess sorted and having a simple repeatable workflow so you'll never lose track of your images. 

You'll be efficient with imports, editing the 'keepers' from the 'maybes' and feel confident everything's backed up so you'll never lose all those hours of post production and be able to have Lightroom do a lot of work for you as you import, saving time for the sexy business of developing your images.

7 Steps To Perfect Pictures

Are you pushing sliders around without a plan or vision for your image - hoping something will workout? You'll learn how plan a vision and make it real, often employing subtle strokes with a brush which are usually more effective and have a much cleaner end result. You'll learn the fundamental skills to bring your ideas and emotions across to the viewer, helping them know where to look and what your image is about.

Whilst these courses were created on an older version of Lightroom Classic, the principles of post production remain the same - regardless of what software you use.

Reviews From People Like You...  Trustpilot 5 stars Google 5 star

As a complete Lightroom novice I found the course has helped me to understand how to keep my workflow organised and structured. It showed me how use the tools in Lightroom to select and grade my images.

I value what I have learnt because it has let git to grips with Lightroom for organising my images quickly and I would highly recommend this course. The way the course is set out, the exercises combined Mike's enthusiasm and teaching style is a winner for me and how I learn.

I'm looking forward to signing up to the follow up Lightroom course. Thank you Mike for being such a good teacher.

7 Steps to Workflow Mastery helped me understand how to organize Lightroom.  My photos were in LR but I couldn't find anything and didn't understand Keywords or the difference from a catalogue to a collection.

Thank you for clearing it up for me - it is priceless for me because of the time it saves me from organizing and finding photos.

I'd highly recommend this course, Mike Browne is patient and clear (and quite funny at times) explaining how to use LR. There are times when you think it is too complicated but he says that it will take time and he is right.

After completing 7 steps to workflow mastery I purchased the 7 steps to perfect pictures so I can learn how to use the program properly.  After that I will go back and do the 7 Building Blocks.  Then one day I may travel to England and take a full day with Mike Browne.

This online course has provided an approach to using Lightroom that is far more structured and efficient than my previous workflow process. I was unaware of the shortcuts and tools available within the software that could really speed up and more importantly standardise the way that not only post process my images but also focused me on getting things right in camera.

The exercises are excellent for putting into practice the weekly tutorials and Mike's style of delivery takes away any ambiguity from the plethora of functions within Lightroom. I am currently working through the 7STPP course and the learning gained from the 7STWM has been invaluable.

This course has been invaluable in allowing me to really come to grips with my approach to post production and clearing my hard drives of 'clutter'! I would certainly recommend this to anybody serious on improving their approach to workflow management.

It’s saved my skin already and managing my workflow quickly became second nature. “Perfect Pictures” is a real eye opener with a ton of content to help you understand and gain confidence with this very versatile tool.

Your tutor at a glance

I'm Mike and am flattered to have been called the UK's friendliest Photography Expert (Thanks 500px!).  


I'm proud to have made hundreds of videos and spent thousands of hours teaching people like you to see more beauty in the world every day (and to capture that beauty), by thinking like a photographer. 

My YouTube channel has served more than 26 Million views and has more than 260,000 subscribers.

I've appeared on TV shows and been asked to speak at some of the best photography events on earth, such as:

  • Xposure International Photography Festival, Sharjah, UAE
  • The Photography Show, Birmingham, UK

I've enjoyed a wonderful career as a photographer, presenter and teacher. I even trained as a teacher so that I could reach my full potential and enable others to reach theirs.

As a photographer, I'm proud to have won multiple awards: 

  • Petapixel TopTen Youtube Trainers list
  • x3 Xposure International Photography Festival Awards
  • Fuji Commercial Photography
  • x2 Fuji Wedding Photography
  • Kodak Gold Award
  • x14 Master Photographers Association Awards

And I've been lucky to have had exhibitions at prestigious venues such as:

  • The Master Photographers Association
  • Royal Photographic Society
  • Romanian Embassy (London)
  • Xposure Photography Festival - others...

When not teaching photography I also speak at events for photographers and businesses alike and have written for publications such as:

  • Ephotozine
  • DSLR User magazine
  • Professional Photographer
  • Photography Monthly - others...

Trumping all of this, my proudest achievement to date is the huge number of wonderful 5* reviews on Trustpilot and Google - written by people like you after completing my courses. It's one of the best feelings in the world to know you've helped someone have what I call a 'lightbulb moment'.

The other is exploring this beautiful world in which we live along sunny backroads on an old motorcycle.
